Christmas in July

hovis — Sun, 03 Jul 2016 13:54:24 GMT

I found the whole day boring. I would turn it off and then go back to it. Nothing new. I did like the food show and the flocked Christmas tree. I thought for sure Valerie would have some new things. Disappointed.

I didn't watch because I don't need stuff for Christmas. I'm wondering if they save all the returns from last year to sell again in July.

I, for one, can't even wrap my brain around Xmas in July!! I'm trying to get my tomatoes to grow and not about setting a up a Xmas table scape!!! Didn't watch and truly am not interested until maybe November---maybe---not a fan of Xmas

How many "chochkies" can one come up with before they all start looking the same? Maybe time to give it a rest for awhile...but the holidays is when VPH and same type of vendors make their big bucks. VPH and like vendors just produce different colors, shapes and sizes of same with the hope of duping us into thinking it's something new. It's working, but maybe not as much as it used to?

I really enjoyed it, too! I got the five little Mercury glass lighted Christmas trees in jewel colors. I'll use a couple scattered in my Christmas village pieces. Also one of the angel candles. Love Christmas lights

Christmas in July (or any other month) is just about all I watch on qvc. Sometimes I watch Marie Osmond or a home dec show, rarely ITKWD. I used to look forward to Bobbi Brown & Mally.

Otherwise the the Forums & posters are the best part of qvc for me.

@January121 What a nice positive post! Thank you! I also loved it and purchase a couple of items. The event may not be for everyone but it is good to find some of us who do enjoy it! Again, thanks! Panda

I'm just amazed that someone could or even would watch every show, the whole day. How many plastic doodads and Christmas decorations can you take.....in July. I was home and clicked on for a minute or two. My girls are in their early 30s and I was amused to see they are still selling some of the same cheap plastic toys they sold 25 years ago. My girls didn't want them the, I can't imagine kids today want those toys. But the grands and great aunts never know that....so they buy more the next year....lol

The Christmas stuff bores me to tears. It's not that I don't like Christmas; it's just that I don't need any additional Christmas decorations. From July to December, I watch much less of QVC and never the Christmas shows. I love QVC but not the Christmas shows wherein they devote an entire 24 hours to the same ole stuff over and over again. In my opinion, QVC "runs it in the ground" like all merchants do. I'm so happy when December 26th comes, and the Christmas stuff goes away. I love Christmas and wish we could all celebrate the true meaning quietly with family and friends, with those we love. Christmas has become too commercial and gets more so with each passing year. There is too much pressure, and most people spend money they don't have for the sake of "keeping up with the Joneses." There is a beauty in Christmas with the lovely decorations and music. It is a fascinating, magical time, especially for kids. Why can't we celebrate the joy and beauty of Christmas quietly with less pressure from merchants trying to shove it down our throats from July to December.. Christmas comes earlier every year. QVC can count me "out" when the Christmas shows are on.
