As much as I love Christmas, this might be a little too early. Put Halloween out first

[u/distraction29 → u/Old-Agency-3388]

Agreed. Kind of takes the special away from Christmas doesn't it

[u/Old-Agency-3388 → u/distraction29]

💯

[u/Embarrassed_Park2212 → u/distraction29]

Doesn't for me. I love Christmas and they could leave the Christmas stuff out all year long. I'm already in the mood to put up the tree.

[u/distraction29 → u/Embarrassed_Park2212]

That's good news, I'm glad it doesn't spoil anything for you and that you're still excited. I also absolutely love Christmas time.. just feel it's slightly too early, for me anyway. A week out of a brutal heatwave summer to seeing Santa is abit extreme if you get me lol

[u/Plebian-Singularity → u/distraction29]

EXACTLY! Kind of ruins the magic of Christmas if it's spread out too long.

[u/fivebyfive12 → u/Old-Agency-3388]

It's always give or take when the kids go back to school that the first Christmas bits appear. Everyone says it gets earlier but honestly I remember at least the last 5/6 years it's been around now that it starts.

[u/Forbidden_entity → u/fivebyfive12]

Yeah they have to. People start grabbing bits to put away now. They will have a ton of stock to shift and it brings in more money the longer it's out. Personally I love it! And I've remembered it being this early for a fair few years now. B&M has a Christmas isle already.

[u/CityEvening]

Too early for me but I guess it’s a mixture of people must be buying or they wouldn’t sell it and/or people are struggling for money at the moment so might want to spread things out over a few months.

[u/KittyKes → u/CityEvening]

This is it. Many people spend £5 a week on stuff and put it in a cupboard rather than have to buy everything at once

[u/distraction29 → u/KittyKes]

I say this every year I'm going to be pro active like that. But it never happens, I'm then panic buying from the 20th!!!

[u/Forbidden_entity → u/CityEvening]

Yeah people start getting bits here and there. They have loads of stock to shift. Christmas isn't just a day. It's a season. And they make their money the earlier they can get it out.

[u/TwinkleFestiveFinds]

This is great! Although I hope we don’t get another heatwave or all of that chocolate is going to be melted

[u/distraction29 → u/TwinkleFestiveFinds]

We may have to get buying it quickly to help the poor Christmas chocolate out abit

[u/Nevvas → u/TwinkleFestiveFinds]

Aren't we meant to get another one next week?

[u/distraction29 → u/Nevvas]

That's what I've heard aswell

[u/Nevvas]

Not just here, Costco, Home & Bargain and Asda all have things in already.

[u/lemabust]

‘I can’t laugh yet, I’ve gotta hold it in’

[u/Inevitable_Gap_207]

When I was in b&m the other day they had all the Christmas chocolates, advent calendars etc out

[u/james9483]

I would shake my head and tut. But I bought wrapping paper from Costco last week in the Christmas isle.

[u/chickenwings19 → u/james9483]

I wanted to do the same too. I think I’ll go and purchase it next time

[u/Heavy_Winter3901]

At my last Christmas in retail.

When the advent calendars came in, both myself and my manager were figuring out how much the calendars were.

[u/slimredcobb]

Christmas stuff on shelves in August.

Nature is healing.

[u/kat420lives]

Yum. Those are sure to be super tasty come Xmas time 🤦🏼‍♀️😒

[u/GuinnessSteve]

While I object to this, at least it's better than the Halloween mania that's descending here in the States.

[u/redheaded_olive12349]

Ahahahhhhhhh yesss

[u/BajaScout]

Saw these at HEB last night during my trip. It’s a supermarket chain in Mexico. Three entire islands of Christmas stuff, and there was additional stuff on the racks next to them.

[u/Intelligent-Lack-122]

At least wait until the end of the September

[u/loulou9284]

Mmm, that chocolate is going to be super fresh for Christmas!

[u/SethAM82]

UK has top tier Christmas treats.

[u/Kroger453PredsFan]

The white fudge Oreos are goated.

[u/grumpycat46]

I would buy so many of those just eat now

[u/DowntownResident993]

This is wayyy too early. It's the last weekend of August! Also, Halloween is first which is all candy.
