Holiday Items in Your Stores

[mommytotwo]

Yesterday at our Target, they had Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas items out. :santa:

How about the stores in your area?

I will be starting sign ups for the Christmas Present, and the Christmas Stocking Exchange later this month/the start of Nov. so be on the lookout for them. :woohoo:

Kmart - lots of Christmas, little Halloween, didn't see Thanksgiving.

Wal-Mart had lots of Halloween and fall, not too much Christmas yet, just a little.
Target had Halloween, starting to put up the Christmas trees.
Halloween was late going in this year, so maybe it is slowing down the Christmas.

Costco has Christmas, they had very little Halloween this year.
The craft stores have them all.

In the UK we have lots of Halloween & quite a lot of christmas stuff is now arriving. :thumbsup2

I think I will start to look for general items for the Christmas Exchanges tomorrow, and on future shopping trips.

I am also wanting to find a small artifical yet realistic like mini Christmas tree for my daughter that is lite. But, we have a hard time finding for small tree tree decorations, and tree skirts here :(.

yes, our stores are starting to put out Christmas along with the Halloween stuff. It seems like Christmas is coming out earlier and earlier each year, in a couple of years it'll be out in the middle of summer. :rotfl:

I was in Harrods in London in August, the weekend before the christmas depertment opened. Nothing like decorated christmas trees and christmas carols in mid August!

I can't decide whether to do the Christmas stocking, or Christmas present exchange? What will be the differences between the two? Thanks! :yay:

The present exchange is when you buy one, two, or three bigger/smaller items depending on what your pal likes or has on their wish list. You then wrap each present up, and sent it to them.

The stocking exchange is when you get a brand new Christmas stocking, and add in little items, and you send it to your pal. You could add in candles, candies, Disney pins, stationary items, ornaments, something from where you are from....

Thank you! princess:

Oh you bet! We had christmas stuff right after labor day. Lots of decoration items.

Well, we were in MK yesterday and about the only things missing I noticed was the large Christmas tree, snow and the dream lights.
It seemed strange to go from Halloween to Christmas what seemed overnight.
Even Christmas music was playing at the TTC.

Today is the last day of the Food & Wine Fest. I imagine Epcot will start turning into Christmas TOMORROW! :scared1: (F&W Fest merchandise was half off yesterday. But I passed. Did not need a thing.)

Pretty much everywhere around here has tons of Christmas stuff. Halloween stuff is all clearance and there's some Thanksgiving. I just got a new 3' Christmas tree for my room (and for when I finally get my own place) and a really cute snowman beanie baby. I love Christmas!
