I noticed that Christmas stuff comes on earlier each year.  First it's Christmas in July now it's Christmas in June.  I guess next year it will be Christmas in May.  All this has made me hate Christmas.  By the time Christmas comes around I am so sick of seeing Xmas stuff or hearing Xmas music.  I used to love Christmas especially in Europe where it is so festive.  They have Christmas markets in December.  Here in the U.S. it has deteriorated into a disgusting commercialized holiday.  I don't even celebrate Christmas anymore.

Why let a shopping network ruin your holidays???  Just stay away from it if it bothers you.  It's not June, it's July.

I love Christmas - after Thanksgiving.  

It's July 1st.  We're in the throes of summer right now.  I just want to enjoy each season as it comes.  

They should have just started a new channel and just had Christmas on 365 days of the year.  

I think it's horrible.  It's getting earlier and earlier every year.  Ugh...

Sorry commercialization has turn you away from such a joyus holiday.

I actually enjoy a bit of Christmas in July.  My problem is the super high pricing and  shipping .  That is the only thing stopping me from purchasing anything. 

Consideing the richest and largest  corporations have gotten the largest tax break in history this year is the only thing that makes this whole concept very sad.

I agree with @TW; by the time Christmas actually arrives, im sick of hearing about it and couldn't care less.  From now on we'll have Christmas programming on QVC with increasing regularity.  I don't watch it, don't even do channel checks.  I want nothing to do with it.  This sacred holiday is just an excuse for a money grab by QVC.

In all fairness, QVC isn't the only one.

I love Christmas. It isn’t about buying things and never was, so the commercialization doesn’t change my attitude or feelings toward it.

@bikerbabe I totally agree with you.  Christmas is about the greatest gift God gave to this world......His Precious, Holy Son.....and for that I am eternally grateful.  Many people on the forum boards LOVE this special holy-day.......and I am definitely one of them.

No, it's everywhere.  That's why I am so sick of it.  Quite frankly, do people even know what Christmas is about anymore?  It's not buying and giving presents.  Growing up it was baking cookies, spending time with family and even making presents which means more than any expensive store bought gift to me.  Kids especially used to love getting together to make things for their special someones.  Now they compare how much you spend on them.
