One holiday season at a time, people...! - Page 3

Whatever. I don't care about being positive. I'm a cynical person. Get used to it. I hate holidays and always will. They bring me no cheer at all. As for kids, I doubt very much I'll have any. I really could care less about it. I'm going through a rough time right now with my grandpa being sick, and that's adding to my depression. Screw the holidays.

*Raph's Girl* · 11-05-2011, 03:33 PM

I started noticing Halloween and Christmas stuff in July. And here they put out Valentines stuff in December. *lol*

I did purchase Christmas cards from the dollar store in September tho...alot cheaper that way and it's usually just leftover stock from last year. Dollar store always runs out by November.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-06-2011, 05:40 PM

Valentine's stuff in December? That's hilarious.

We looked at the Christmas section in Wal-Mart today, but there wasn't a lot of stuff out yet. We saw these cool lights that are wireless and can be activated by a remote, but when we looked for them, they didn't have them. I suggested to Mom that we look for gift bags and tissue paper so that we had them for gifts, but we didn't see anything like that yet. It'll probably be out later.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 11-07-2011, 10:04 PM

My store that I work at, Dollarama, started to get Christmas stuff in September I think, and we'll likely get New Years stuff soon and Valentines I think comes usually December or January. It's nuts to get stuff so early. I wouldn't be so bad to have stuff early if not for the fact that head office expects it to go out even when we have no friggin room in the store

*gobo* · 11-07-2011, 11:35 PM

I'm seeing It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown already! >_<

I guess that's excusable though, in as much as I put the DVD in.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-08-2011, 09:15 AM

I'm seeing a lot of holiday commercials already, but that's no big surprise as they did that last year. I heard that the stores are all going to open at midnight on Black Friday for the first time ever.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 11-08-2011, 10:40 PM

not enough populace where i live to even bother with Black Friday. but on the 28th or so, the mall my store is in will be doing holiday hours, so open 9:30am til 9pm Monday til Friday and Saturday stays the same with 9:30am til 6pm, and Sunday 12 til 5

and the local Wal-Mart is going 24hours soon for the holidays as usual, at least til Christmas Eve

*BubblyShell22* · 11-09-2011, 11:25 AM

A lot of Wal-Mart stores are turning into twenty-four hour stores lately. I know your local Wal-Mart probably won't be that way after the holidays, but they might consider it.

Heck even the weather wants to begin early. I just heard we're going to get snow later on today and tonight. With the way the wind is blowing, I wouldn't be surprised if we got a freak blizzard.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 11-11-2011, 12:35 AM

Nah my local Walmart would never consider going 24 hours all year cause the staff would walk out in protest! Also, all the staff think its stupid go go 24 hours even for a month, cause not enough business and revenue.

Oh and today, the mall put up the big fat mans display already! Sheesh!

*BubblyShell22* · 11-11-2011, 08:23 AM

Yeah, talk about starting early!

We had our first snow here yesterday, and although we didn't get much, there were still some big flakes.

*Katie* · 11-11-2011, 04:57 PM

I didn't know there were Wal-Marts that weren't 24 hours anymore. Wow. Y'all must live far in the country.

Or in a separate country altogether.

The Wal-Mart my mom and I go to is twenty-four hours. I'm surprised there are still Wal-Marts that aren't as well.

lol!

my local Wal-mart is the only one that i know of in Canada that's not open 24 hours, i could be wrong of course

*BubblyShell22* · 11-12-2011, 08:07 AM

Well, maybe they'll eventually be twenty-four hours. You never know.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 11-25-2011, 02:57 AM

So I work at Toys-R-us and we opened for Black Friday at 9pm on Thursday and will be open tell 12 am Friday night/Saturday morning. It's ridicules. We had Christmas stuff up halfway through October. Halloween hadn't even come yet before Halloween stuff was on clearance. It is getting out of hand.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-25-2011, 01:53 PM

Yeah, it's like they want to shove all these holidays down our throats earlier than they should. Some people want to just "spread holiday cheer" early, but all that does it make people get annoyed and hate said holiday. Though I will say, I do like seeing the candy out early.
