iYod Hunt Day 4 (11/5)
"It's way to f**king early for Christmas crap. It's the first damn week
of November. My Santa Saver account just matured! Take a picture of a
store in your area that has gotten into the Christmas retail spirit
much too early."
For those of you reading this entry and have no idea what is going on with my blog... The Yod Hunt!
On to my entry:
I live right near post (I'm an Army Wife) and usually do my shopping there. Our PX (Post Exchange) has been putting out Christmas stuff starting two weeks before Halloween!
We have inflatables...
We have ornaments...
And then... we have the fact that the halloween/fall stuff is not even sold out yet.
I suppose it is to be expected, apparently the tradition is to put the tree up on Thanksgiving and leave it up until New Years.
I do not even have a tree... although since we are going to have my oldest this year I might get a small one.

at least they left the stuff for Halloween up though.
my neighborhood had all of the Halloween stuff down the night before
save for a sale shelf that was about 3' wide and [maybe] 6 ' tall
;p
I also had a pumpkin shaped reese's peanut butter cup that I suspect may have been from last year or something today. Yeck!
see, you should win this cuz you took actual store photos. (sheepish grin) I hadda cheat myself cuz I couldn't make it to a store today. Oh wellz. :-)
Nice photos tho. You summed up the holiday store spirit quite well. Din't realize it extended to PX's too. The one and only one I was ever in was quite simple and bare bones. Only basics.
I swear, we're gonna have Xmas decor going up on the night of July 4 next year!
Congrats on the win!!
I actually went specifically because I knew they had Christmas stuff out already. I was appalled when I noticed it before Halloween had even arrived. I had to be on post anyway for grocery shopping and they actually have Christmas stuff up there too, but its mostly just candy.
Some of them are getting very department store-esque. Not ours, it is more like a tiny Walmart.
*snickers*
I guess the stores figure people will have enough pumpkins, leaves and maize to decorate for Thanksgiving left over from their Halloween stuff?
We don't really do that holiday in our house, my husband says, "What should I be thankful for? Small pox?" Half Apache, quarter Comanche, quarter Irish... the Holiday is somewhat of a sore spot.
