It's the first day of Fall and Target is already counting down the days to Christmas. One shopper spotted this jolly 'ol snowman, amongst the other seasonal characters, just a row or two down from the Halloween candy. Sure, shops are notorious for getting lots of play out of the profitable holidays, but according to Santa's clock, there are still 93 days to go til the big day.

Why wait till the last minuet.

 

After working in retail for 8 years of my life, I realized Christmas is set up so early because they need to fill shelf space after the back to school stuff is gone.

However, that same job killed my spirit for the holidays, because I realized how superficial and commercial all holidays have become.

 

Yep! I saw a big display of fake Christmas trees next to the idiotic huge Halloween yard inflatables at the Lowe's in Brooklyn Saturday night.

 

Fuck off christmas

 

Yay for another commercial holiday!

Spend, spend, spend, charge, charge, charge to help the bottom line of the retail industry because that is the American thing to do.

Don't forget about buying each of your family members HDTV this season!

 

This Christmas is going to be a dark and lonely one for many in this country, a Black Christmas!

 

check out the 6th floor of the Macy's in downtown Brooklyn and we'll show you how it's done......since around September 16th or so.

 

Woh! what happened to Halloween and Thanksgiving?

 

Festivus for the rest of us!

 

Costco had Christmas stuff out in late August.

 

"At the end of the day, fuck Santa Claus."
