Today I heard that Wal-Mart will be cutting prices on 10 popular toys to $10 for the 2008 holiday shopping season. It will also open its Christmas shops within its stores over the next 10 days. (What about Halloween, where do you think they will put all that stuff?) Wal-Mart said they conducted a study, that this year, people will start shopping for Christmas sooner in order to stretch their holiday dollars.
It seems every year, stores in general start to put out holiday items earlier and earlier. We don’t even have time to get through the next holiday without the stores rushing us on to the next big thing. Rushing into any holiday causes the quality of that holiday to diminish.
I first want to enjoy Halloween, then my yummy turkey at Thanksgiving – then it’s onto shopping for Christmas! Wal-Mart will not entice me to start my shopping earlier.
What about you? When will you start your holiday shopping?
