    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.

    I was in the supermarket the other day and saw julelutefisk (Christmas lutefisk) in the reduced price refrigerated section. Because it had a sell by date of the 30th of October. Lutefisk is fine now and then but its hardly what people choose to eat if its not a traditional time to eat it. Certainly no-one is eating it before halloween.

            By the way Minnesotans are cooking it wrong. It’s not supposed to be gelatinous and smell of dick cheese after it’s done. You have to soak it, discard the water, cover it in salt, and bake it in the oven so the water is removed from the flesh. Only then and with a sprinkling of bacon bits is it edible (as long as you wash it down with aquavit immediately).

              but what was that hex you chanted? What does

              Hah, feil kontinent, kompis.

              mean?

              EDIT : I’ll keep that in mind the next time I make lutefisk… (I already hate fish, I’m pretty sure I’m not going to got through the process of… lying it up or whatever the process of making it is.)

    November they started putting Christmas shit out in Walgreens and Walmart in fucking September. By October it was mostly Christmas in most stores.
