I NOW HATE CHRISTMAS THANKS TO QVC!

Secretariat1 — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 04:02:17 GMT

It's only June 23 and QVC is foaming at the mouth to exploit Christmas once again. I don't know why they just don't start in January....all I know is that they have turned me so off to this holiday that by the time Christmas comes I'm sick of it and can't wait for it to end. Absolutely hate it.

QVC likes to feature items and events that sell. Obviously CIJ is very popular, and QVC does well. Nobody forces you to watch it. If you hate Christmas, you have bigger problems than a shopping channel.

I already ordered one advance item, and I am hoping some of my other favorites will come up on the website soon!

I love to shop for the holidays, and I start the day AFTER Christmas for the next year, so I do not find CIJ too early. I actually think it is very cute and convenient, and it helps me stay organized in advance.

@Secretariat1 Don't blame your dislike of Christmas on a shopping channel that you can easily turn off! Your feelings are on you, not QVC. I don't watch the Christmas shows cuz I'm not interested in buying anything.

Christmas shows are really the only ones that I watch on QVC

I guess we cancel each other out.

I couldn't agree more, start earlier and earlier every year.

In the summertime, the last thing you want to see is Christmas,

what a turnoff!

I think Christmas has become so commercialized that we have lost the true meaning. It is sad to see what was suppose to be so beautiful is now only valued in dollars spent. I am not into CIJ.

I swear, it's as if people only get one channel on their television.

Well, QVC is a retailer just doing what all retailers do. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Retailers have marketing seasons and they don't coincide with the traditional calendar's seasons. If any retailer waits until after Thanksgiving to push Christmas, they're in big trouble. Those Christmas shopping $$$ have already landed into another retailer's cash register.

I worked in retail for over 25 years and lived through 25 Christmas shopping seasons in both good and bad times. Nothing I ever experienced, be it cranky customers, increased work loads, longer hours, 24/7 Christmas music, etc. ever made me hate Christmas, nor would I let it.
Quite honestly, the general consensus among people who have worked retail is that the same customers who come in the store to complain about not wanting to see anything Christmas before Thanksgiving are the same customers who come Christmas shopping several days before Christmas and complain that everything is picked over and there's basically nothing left to buy. 😑

"Hating" Christmas because of QVC programming is a little extreme, don't you think? Thankfully it's just a shopping channel and you don't have to watch it.

I know a lot of people don't enjoy CIJ programming, but many do. I am someone that looks forward to it each year. There are many shows on QVC that I don't enjoy at all, so I don't watch. I have plenty of other things to do that fill my time.

@Secretariat1 Out of sight, out of mind. Turn off QVC and be happy.

It's all what You make it.

I enjoy watching some of the Christmas shows but I don't watch them all. Just like I enjoy watching the Hallmark Christmas movies. If you don't want to watch....there's lots of other channels. Just don't watch QVC until they finish the shows. Think how much money you'll save.

They are just pushing it earlier and earlier.

A 'Christmas in July' show on June 23rd.

I could have my own shows with all the Christmas stuff I'm ready to get rid of, sure don't want any more.

The only one "foaming at the mouth" it seems is you @Secretariat1 . QVC has done nothing to turn off this holiday to anyone. That is on you and your over the top response to a tv program. A quick change of channel will calm your nerves.

"Foaming at the mouth, sick of it, hate it" such negativity and silliness over a simple program.

Actually, while "the last thing (you) want to see..." is something I LOVE to see 24/7/365, and while I respect what you think, we don't agree.

Feel ABSOLUTELY FREE to change the channel while I watch! 👍🏻🌟🎄

I don't hate Christmas - I love it. However, I dislike Christmas in July and I dislike that the stores all start putting these items out so early. They have a tendency to lump several holidays items all together and for me, this is not right. I get why they do it, as it is all about making money. But for me, Christmas is the most special and most wonderful holiday and time of the year and it should be given the most attention, but I don't want to focus on it until right after Thanksgiving. Everybody is different though. I do start shopping for my gifts much earlier though, but I don't want to see the decorations earlier than right after Thanksgiving. I just try to ignore the Christmas items on the Q and every place else. It's not for me. I want to focus more on what is happening now and what I need now.
