Move to the south and keep the lights and decorations up all year long! :lol:

Re: It's official...Christmas is around the corner
 

Oh, are you talking about outside decorations? Those are easy, I just string some lights around the front door, the front entry steps and the garage door. Done.

It's putting up the tree that I hate doing.

No bullet holes in the plywood reindeer? :lol:

These are being displayed in local schools.

One for the WTF thread? Not very Christmassy :p

Re: It's official...Christmas is around the corner
 

I think they have misinterpreted what is meant by 'dreaming of a white Christmas' :rofl:

Re: It's official...Christmas is around the corner
 

Or the bedding thread. Someone mentioned sheets.

Re: It's official...Christmas is around the corner
 

Oh shit, that's a good point :D

Yeah, that should go down well.

Re: It's official...Christmas is around the corner
 

I think around here Costco has the record for earliest Christmas products being out, the local store started putting it out end of July/first week of August.

They even had a electric heater on display and operating, nothing like walking down an aisle to get blasted with hot air on a 85F day...lol

Wal-Mart started once the school stuff was moved out of the seasonal department, and Home Depot has a few lights out but that is all for now.

No snow on the mountains yet.

Re: It's official...Christmas is around the corner
 

I wondered where that post had gone. I have only just read this Christmas thread.

I thought they had only just got rid of all the reduced Christmas stock from last year.

For the poor store workers it a pity Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas doesn't have reusable stock. I mean Turkeys can be used at Christmas and Thanksgiving, why can't stollen?

Re: It's official...Christmas is around the corner
 

Nutek will tell you stollen can be used year round. But then again, so can turkeys if we're getting technical.

Re: It's official...Christmas is around the corner
 

I don't altogether approve of "seasonal" food. :)

Re: It's official...Christmas is around the corner
 

There is no such thing as surplus stollen, like the fruitcakes, after New Year's they reduce the price and sell everything on the shelves within a day and don't order more until next season. Like the paska Easter bread I loved so much, loaded with butter and eggs and baked in cylindrical loaves in tin cans - but only once a year. Deny it for 50 weeks of the year, add a few religion myths to sex it up a little and people will go crazy for it. Don't do that and it's turkeys, and the only thing special about turkeys is that they're half price on holidays.

Truth.

I didn't think you would.
