That's just the way it works in a store. They move from one thing to another. As a scan-coordinator, I see when product launches begin happening, when marketing starts for different seasons, and the reasons behind all of it.
It has a lot to do with companies that just move from season to season with their products. They finish up on Halloween, and move on to the next thing. On top of that, most stores have seasonal sections, so what are you expecting them to do? Leave it bare for a month, or keep old Halloween stuff? No, of course not.
Starting with Christmas carols and things at this time of year? Yeah, that's over-blown, but when it comes to promoting and and introducing products for Christmas, this is what has to be done. Lots of people tend to be starting their holiday shopping earlier and earlier too, so I don't see any problem with it.

It's just everyone trying to get ahead of everyone else, and it's a sad state of affairs.

Maybe Christmas has lost it's meaning to you. Maybe in your eyes and in what you see, it's a shame, but you've either got your eyes closed, or you're just another one of those people who thinks they're above everyone else, above material things and stats symbols, but I very much doubt that, very few are. Unless you're going out and "giving to your fellow man", feeding the hungry and clothing the poor, don't go off on one of these stereotypical holiday nay-saying rants.
