Ah, Such a Relief

Kachina624 — Thu, 24 Dec 2015 03:44:54 GMT

Does anyone else feel like a breath of fresh air drifted in now that the Q is off the Christmas kick and is once again selling "normal" merchandise? I'm so sick of 6 months of Christmas, I could scream. It's too much.

Yes.

It goes on for far too long. The last week has been endless presentations of the TSV's too.

It's not really over until all of the January New You stuff has run its course

Six months of junk Christmas, the only thing that comes close is the New Year, New You garbage. I believe they toned that down a little last year, hopefully they will this new year also.

All in all I sure found some wonderful goodies.

Now it is back to normal you say? OK

Quite frankly, if 'back to normal' means endless fashion, beauty, jewelry, handbags and shoes, then no, I'm not ready for it (but my wallet is).

And so much of this holiday season was just the same old products that they feature all year long anyway, so I don't see that there has been much to complain about in the last two months about too much in the way of Christmas items. It has really been just plain old everyday merchandise that they are pushing as gifts.

The long string of exercise equipment, Fitbits and Marie Osmond

Last year they had some cute little different gifts but this year just dreadful....

No. It seems just like more of the s ame to me.

Yes. The holiday is almost anti-climactic at this point after all the Christmas focus since July.

I dislike watching the New You stuff more than the Xmas stuff. But I won't miss the extra franticness of the Xmas hard sell.

The past couple of years they didn't trot out the exercise equipment like they used to. I suppose well have to have the obligatory Nutrisystem TSV and a mind-numbing day of those presentations.

I think they bombed on the last several TSVs - at the end of the night you could see many more greens than reds at the bottom of the screen. I think their biggest problem was repeating TSVs several times. Me, I believe all my easy pays will be paid off by March - no more Q purchases for me - it's too easy on easy pays. I'll be out at the brick and mortar stores from now on if I need anything. Too much money spent on returns!

And that whole month of "Black Friday."

Not really. As bad as the holiday offerings have been and as relentless as they were with the awful programming, the Q's 'new normal' leaves a lot to be desired.

It's not over until the boat from China gets lost in the fog and drifts away.
