    November. Try frickin’ September and October as well.

    Drove me insane when I worked to retail, because we wouldn’t even hit Halloween yet, and they would be replacing the Halloween aisle out with Christmas.

        the sad thing is, the reason they do this, is people still buy it. There are a bunch of people that rush in as soon as the aisle is out to buy stuff. It makes no sense. WHO PREPARES FOR CHRISTMAS 4 MONTHS EARLY.

        Additionally, my last year working at the store, they missed Halloween completly, because they recieved their halloween stuff late, and by the time it weas recieved they were replacing it out for christmas (which was still two weeks prior to halloween)

        That was fun. Explaining to kids and parents “yea we have no costumes because management decided they wanted to set Christmas instead” was insane.

        Nah they’ll milk the shit out of Christmas until January then through January until the 14th of February it’s valentine’s day, but as soon as that’s done they’ll push Easter until it haemorrhages.

          BASICALLY then around July they will throw a Christmas in July section for a week or two before storing it in backstock till the Christmas section drops again.
