It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas?

Greetings,

I have recently begun seeing some Christmas items at stores such as Hallmark, and a few craft shops. I'm on the look out for other stores to begin putting items out. I know it's a bit early but please feel free to share when you see any. I know Kmart usually puts their holiday merchandise out early....last year, it was early September I believe.

That's good news! Where I live Christmas items are placed on the shelves late due to the hot temperatures. I love knowing people are seeing new Christmas items in August!

No Christmas items at the stores here yet. I saw some Halloween stuff at the dollar store Friday. Sometime around mid September they might start putting a bit out on the shelves.

I did get my card to go pick up the Sears Christmas Wish Book this week. That is definitely a good first step. :D

Thanks for the info...I didn't realize the Sears Christmas catalog was out. Hopefully I'll be getting my card soon. I normally get the JcPenney Christmas book early to mid September if I'm not mistaken.

I noticed that when I went into our Dollar Tree. It had a great deal of Christmas items. I was happy to see it.

I'm beginning to see more and more Christmas items out....the Dollar General has a couple of aisles dedicated to Christmas, and Big Lots has a great deal of items. The leaves are falling and it's fast approaching. Before you know it, we'll be seeing Christmas trees and all of the trimmings. I'm way too excited.
