I find Christmas in September offensive.Last year QVC spent 3 months selling "Gifts".Don't forget Halloween and Thanksgiving.You rush your audience and put them in a panic. Slow down.No countdown, no Xmas trees in the background and no references by hosts.Thank you and Happy Native American's Day (10/12)

Pushing customers so they will order holiday gifts months in advance is all part of the sales strategy of retailers...QVC is no different. Another reason I don't watch anymore. The greedy mentality and urging viewers to buy even you can't afford it just saddens me. Bake a loaf of banana bread for your mailman. He doesn't need a gift basket of gloves, earmuffs, and poo-pouri. Same for the people at your nail salon, dr. office, hair salon, etc.

Why doesen"t the Q have halloween shows? A few halloween shows would work in place of some Christmas shows.Years ago they had some neat halloween shows.

It's all about the money.  So sad. Okay, not sad that the Q makes money.  Sad that we commercialize Christmas.

@Slopester I agree! By the time Christmas gets here, everyone is sick of seeing their gadgets.

I decorate for Christmas the week after Thanksgiving, so I like to have all my ducks in a row early. That being said, I would love to see some Halloween shows too.

I don’t begrudge the sales push—Q like every other retailer wants your holiday $—but I don’t tune in much once all the gift shows start. They are the most repetitive shows imaginable for days on end, and mostly junk drawer stuff they con MILs into buying for hapless sons-in-laws.

“Thanks so much...how did you know that this camo trucker hat with a flashlight and drain snake on the brim is just what I wanted...”

@Slopester.  You're disgusted with Christmas in September; so how did you like Christmas in July and August?

[Sooner]

What's the point of complaining about it?  Obviously a lot of people like it and enjoy it and buy.  I don't think that's any skin off of anyone's nose.  There are probably a lot of QVC shows most of us don't like but others do. 

The odd thing to me is why can't everyone just let everyone have their share of the time and use the time for something else they like.  It's just tv.   You can shop a zillion other places on the web for things you like to buy, and probably find some real bargains and different things!  Look at it as an opportunity to see new stuff!

Every store in America, be it brick and mortar, shopping channels or online, will spend the three months before Christmas selling gifts.  If they’re not, they need a new CEO.

Actually, I find it a welcome break from the monotony of months on end of mattresses, vacuum cleaners and pillows.
