If you don't shop as soon as they are putting stuff out on the shelves, you don't get it later. It is crazy.

I finally had chance to work in garden. The heat is bothering me a lot. Half a raised bed now cleared out of about dead tomato vines. I have started zucchini and will plant tomorrow. I am working on several projects, freezer inventory, deep cleaning closets and other stuff. To go from temps about 110* to low 80's will get me in a cleaning mood. My husband out of town and I will organize and he won't even notice I moved microwave into garage.
Today's good mood brought to you by a lot of coffee!!!

From working in retail I have found that the sooner it is out the more people there are who will buy it. I don't like it either but they base what they do on what people ask for and when. Seems we can't wait to go from one holiday to the next anymore. I put my 4th of July stuff away so I could enjoy my summer decor. Usually I will leave it out until Labor day. September I love to bring out the Apple things and then the rest of Fall in October. I don't even bother looking for the seasonal stuff because I know pretty soon they will have all the seasons out at the same time at this rate.

I agree with what others are saying here about the rush to get season items out months in advance. I guess the stores benefit economically by putting stuff out ahead of time so many people have more time to shop. The longer things are out early, it seems like they will sell more merchandise because while they are shopping now for fall, all the available Christmas stuff is equally up for grabs. But, I agree with other comments here that the seasons and holidays have become commercial and about the money.. But they wouldn't do that if we the people didn't love shopping for fall in late June! From the reading I have been doing the past few years on life in America from 1900-1950s, commercialism exploded as the Industrial revolution here in the US was in full gear. When more people worked, they had more money to spend of many sorts of goods. Now , we can import relatively cheap stuff from foreign sources so there is more and more buying for pleasure and fun than ever before. The next problem is the growing amount of purchases that are ending up in landfills!
