Yes, that's right--I was surprised to find out today that Christmas is almost here! Let me explain. Although Wal-Mart is not one of our favorite places to shop, we needed to go there today to get some necessary items, one of those necessities being pellets for our pellet stove. But that's another subject. Anyway when we walked in, it was very apparent that the Halloween items were moved to the clearance area and Christmas was taking over! They even had Christmas music playing. Aisles were filled with Christmas (or should I say "Holiday") candy, gift suggestions, decorations, etc.
I was struck again by the fact that Christmas has become the way that stores are able to stay in business the rest of the year. I hope that we all don't get caught up in the spending frenzy! Even before we were down to one income, we had planned to keep Christmas gifts simple this year.
Thank you, Wal-Mart for jolting me with the reminder that Christmas is less than two months away!
What are your thoughts about this marketing of Christmas?
