I work at ASDA, we have plastic tins of chocolates and mince pies already, also "Christmas condiments" and pigs in blankets to "freeze for Christmas", prob so customer pays for storage rather than the company,,,

Oct to Dec is known as "the golden quarter",,,

We're open on Boxing Day by the way,,,

[CubaPirate]

Won't they be out of date by Christmas Day

[Pete671]

The mince pies expire on 24th October lol,,,

I love it!! I really like how a network has Christmas in July every year. 24/7 of nothing but Christmas movies.

[Gwendoline]

They definitely start this too early. I seen stuff out in September. Mid November is time enough and Christmas decorations shouldn't go up until maybe 10 days before Christmas as it cheapens the holiday. As a Christian it's also important to remember what Christmas is really all about.

It is ridiculous this early. It should be after Thanksgiving and some sort of law lol.

[CubaPirate]

I agree 100%

[Aubrey97]

Costco and Walmart each had Christmas stuff up about a month ago. I don't even blink anymore.

[CubaPirate]

But it's not right is it

[Aubrey97]

It's silly but they must know there's some demand for it or they wouldn't if there was something else that would make more money.

[CubaPirate]

True

[Pete671]

Perfectly said, but stores create a demand,,,

[purplepoppy]

I find it funny that so much Christmas food on sale goes out of date long before Christmas.

[CubaPirate]

You are not alone lol

[Jennz6]

Commercializing Christmas is wrong, it’s about the Birth of Christ

[CubaPirate]

Too right ✅ 👏 👌 👍

[SweetPi]

So true
Should be in July but Christians needed something to top the pagan holiday.

Listen closely to the east, on the third day. You might hear in the distance... Mariah

[exitseven]

Every year it gets earlier. I remember that you would not see Christmas stuff in rhe stores until after Thanksgiving

[gatixek710]

Yeah, it's nuts. And if you don't buy it now you'll never get it... that is if there's something you must have.

In a country with Halloween that is crazy!

First do Halloween!

[LiamJHayden]

I'm already practicing Christmas music.

[Wise4myage]

Been seeing that for years at Costco.🤪
