The results are in. With a massive turnout (8 total votes), Department stores should wait until the day after Thanksgiving to display Christmas items. I fully agree, but unfortunately I don’t think I have much influence on these department stores.
Yesterday, I was in a Lowe’s department store. I noted the Christmas tree display they had erected. At least two dozen trees. I asked an employee, “Isn’t a bit early for that?” She replied, “Oh those? They have been up since September.”
I guess in the near future once the firework stands are closed after July 4th, the Christmas tree lots will get an “early” start on the season…but then again…around here…fireworks are available all year long.
