I LOVE Christmas, and enjoy Christmas In July, especially this year, its nice to take a break and see something happy & joyful.....I puchase one or two new pieces, and donate others...🎅 🦌 🎄 🌟
To me....Christmas is too commercialized and Im not talking decorations, its outrageous how some people will go into a great deal of debt when it comes to purchasing gifts---(we make a donation to a favorite charity in each person's name)
Maybe this will have some re-look and re-think their gift giving and what the true meaning of Christmas and the holidays mean.....What will be sad is if we cant get together for Christmas!

With shipping issues in so many cases (not just QVC), my current thinking is that I'll only do money or gift cards this year.

Fearing that there might be a financial crunch, I have already purchased all of the gifts I need to give. My niece will get money, but that is the only one I haven't arranged.

No big deal...life went on. Not having money to pay bills and eat is an awful situation at any time of the year and it is a shame that you feel the stress worse at a time you should feel some joy.
I will say this in defense of Christmas In July----
For those on a limited budget it helps to spread out the expense if a gift is purchased throughout July so the gifts are all paid for and it eliminates that December debt! I have a friend that purchases a small inexpensive gift for her each of her grandchildren (there are 6 of them) and CIJ has been a blessing to her.....
Also, with USPS, UPS, Amazon, overwhelmed with holdiay orders and all the complaints about gifts not arriving in time for Christmas it also is a good idea to SHOP EARLY!!!

Of course Christmas will be very different in 2020 due to the virus. How many people are unemployed? How many have the virus and how many have died?

Not at all. I wonder why so many people fall into the commercialized version of Christmas.

Can't believe hyping Xmas at this point, so much going on it seems laughable to try to sell unnecessary stuff when no one knows what will happen months from now. We do know one thing, people are hurting financially & that's not going away soon. Turned on, they were selling popcorn in Xmas packaging???? What????? Never watched Xmas in July, but isn't it just June? & will not watch this crass insanity.
