In a way I hope if people can ignore it so retails become aware and hold off from setting them up far in advance. I also don't think that it helps increase shopping (this is offhand and don't have numbers to back this up) except for maybe the Christmas and holiday decorations that are setup. I would be curious how many sales are made on those items too as the season progresses. I’m certainly guilty for picking up candy canes, they are good.

The Christmas season is the time to shop, so they'll do everything they can to extend that season. And why shouldn't they? It works. We all make the same off-hand comments when they bring out the Christmas stuff in October and we all try to ignore it it for just a few more weeks. Then again, some of us give in to The Man and buy his candy canes, further perpetuating the cycle. Yeah, I'm looking at you Chris. It’s all run by the commercial industry.
