But, Home Depot was playing Christmas music and had Christmas decorations on display before Halloween. That seemed a bit extreme to me. By the way, I did see a story on TV this morning that retailers are expecting lower-than-usual sales this holiday season, and there was a separate store about whether or not the U.S. is actually in a recession at the moment.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17006571932872333177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774342367380347371.post-47968363748216637062007-11-13T12:10:00.000-06:002007-11-13T12:10:00.000-06:00I agree with you, for the most part.

However, I know that some people can't wait until closer to Christmas to buy gifts, when they need to be sent out of state or overseas.<BR/><BR/>Also, in some states, it is too cold to put up outside Christmas lights close to Christmas, so they do it after Halloween or (at least) by Thanksgiving. I imagine that the stores are just responding to those customers who need to have the decorations early. I agree, though, that it seems to get earlier and earlier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
