Sam's Club has holiday/Christmas stuff out

JJsMom — Wed, 20 Aug 2014 20:32:13 GMT

I'm not ready for this. I haven't even bought school supplies yet.

I am starting to smell Turkey, Yum!! Not ready to shop but do love all the other from Halloween until the Super Bowl. For me that is the holiday season. So once the Halloween candy hits the shelf it is time to buy and plan.

I have already started considering my menu.

I saw Halloween stuff at Costco this week and last too. But only Christmas was the rolls of ribbon. Haven't been to Sam's in last week or two. I alternate between the two.

Yes, it's everywhere already & I don't like being rushed into a December state of mind when I'm still trying to enjoy what's left of summer. Oh, well, for those of you who relish this stuff, have a ball.

I'm waiting until Sept 1st or after Labor Day to put out Fall Decorations . . . then add a few Halloween items for month of October . . . then back to Fall only until Thanksgiving and add some turkey themed items for month of November. I haven't even looked to see when Thanksgiving falls this year as I try to wait until after Thanksgiving Dinner to decorate for Christmas but the years I go all out and put up multiple full sized trees . . . I'd rather start a little sooner . . . maybe this year I'll have the energy to put up the kids 7' trees in their bedrooms with most of their ornament collections on them . . . some years I just run out of steam or travel too much and run out of time.

Might be handy for those who like to attach decorations to the outside of the house and/or the trees while the weather is still warm.

The pottery place I go to got all their Halloween and Christmas pottery pieces in. I understand that though because people need time to actually glaze and decorate the pieces before the holidays get here.

Ok, ok.... I've already made a reindeer plate/platter. So cute I couldn't resist.

They had a halloween candy display (candy corn, pumpkin candies, etc.) at the grocery store.

About a month ago I saw marked down fall decor at Hobby Lobby. Along with 5+ aisles of CHRISTMAS stuff.

Wayyyyyy too soon.

Hi, VCamp2748.....I enjoy looking at it when ever they put it out, because there is a lot of it, it is not picked over and not crowded.....but I do NOT decorate my home that early!!

Nothing out there I need or want right now......way, way too early to even think about Christmas. Getting so many e-mails from the Q, and really, I'm not even looking at them. Just deleting for now.

Holy cannoli. When do your kids start school that you haven't bought supplies?

They started today in several of our school districts.

We start after Labor Day, so I still have some time. :-D

I saw the Costco Halloween stuff. I can deal with fall items being out right now, but Christmas is a bit much.

What did Costco have? Just the regular costumes & candy?

I was in Michael's this week, they had aisles of Halloween stuff, and were just starting to put out their Christmas items.

There was a chain of stores in Delaware (Almart) that would start putting out Christmas stuff after the Fourth of July. They were neat stores, but they were the earliest of anyone to put out Christmas stuff. By September first they'd have their holiday department fully decorated and ready to go. I loved the stores though. They had great pet departments, greenhouses, good garden centers, a nice selection of pretty much everything anyone could want. Unfortunately, they're gone now. One was where the Sears store is now in Concord Mall and the other one was where the Home Depot is now on Kirkwood highway. I miss those stores.

That's so much better. This is the earliest our schools have started and parents are not happy at all.

I can understand craft stores having Christmas items out because craft fairs are going to be starting in about 2 weeks. But I don't understand Christmas items being in any other stores for sale already.

Pretty soon it will be left up all year long.

I was once in the home of a family who put their Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving & took it down after SuperBowl Sunday. Yikes!

Wow, that is a long time, ....I do enjoy looking at things in the stores, but would not want it in my house to look at all the time,lol....so glad I can leave it in the store, and funny thing is I don't really buy anything, I just like to see it,lol.
