4. The Hallmark Channel has been running Chrsitmas ads for their programming since Labor Day ...

TV on in the background and "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ..." comes on. They're starting a Countdown to Christmas starting November 9. GAK!!

9. I happen to agree with you....it is early but I'd rather see

see this than hearing later on about all the credit being used during the
holidays.

Welcome to DU!

6. Advertising

Indeed it did.

I saw my first Christmas commercial yesterday.

K-Mart seems to be the first one out of the gate this year.

8. K-Mart is offering free layaway for Christmas,

allowing people to pay off their purchases without interest before Christmas. That's a much better deal than putting something on the credit card in December.

Of course, the best option is to limit Christmas spending to something reasonable rather than breaking the bank!

But - just as I don't expect stores to be putting up manger scenes, I can't blame them for trying to push sales!

10. Many lifetimes ago

I worked at Sears; this was back in the 1990s.

The Christmas Shop Planogram came in for us in late August every year with instructions to begin setup either two days before, or one day after, Halloween. It depended largely on what the Regional Manager wanted to do but the one day after Halloween was the absolute latest the Christmas Shop could be set up.

So I was pretty sick of Christmas already before Thanksgiving even rolled around, LOL.

11. I think the worst, worst part of Christmas shopping is the 10 weeks of Christmas carols inflicted on

store clerks! Maybe, just maybe on Black Friday or the last week before Christmas, but 10 weeks is too much!

[Berlin Expat]

12. Oh, I quite

agree. Day after day, week after week, of tinny mechanical Christmas carols and "Ho Ho Ho" from an army of mechanized Kris Kringle's lining the shelves is enough to drive anyone to madness.

Fortunately, in the store I worked in, we turned the sound effects off, to our relief, and to the relief of more than a few of our shoppers. Of course if someone wanted to hear it, we'd switch it on, but the merchandise generally remained mercifully silent.

13. If the Christmas ads are up......can Halloween be far behind?

[yuiyoshida]

15. I don't know about you but that is one Creepy Cookie...

And she tasted him!!

16. Fuck Christmas and Fuxk K-Mart

17. The video has been removed from YouTube.

But the title of the OP is enough. We all know a deluge of ads is on the way.
