My father loves hallmark movies, and Christmas music. You can't torture him with that. I can't handle it, drives me up the wall.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

We have an annual contest to see who spots the first Xmas display. So far, the earliest has been mid-September.

Toss-up between, Costco, ACE Hardware, and Daiso.

Halloween stuff in back. Bets on this being a picture from fall’s past, and not summer 2024?

[–] WhatsHerBucket 26 points 5 months ago (3 children)

This photo was taken by me @ 1:13pm today.

It’s still June.

[–] Wogi 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is this maybe at a hobby lobby?

[–] WhatsHerBucket 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] Wogi 10 points 5 months ago (2 children)

They may be preparing for a remodel, in which many of the shelves get torn out and replaced with new ones. They don't want to shut down the store to do it and need a lot of storage space to hold shelving while they replace units one at a time over night. So already clearance stuff gets clearanced harder to get it out of the way.

This has been brought to you by your surly neighborhood shelving guy.

[–] Flummoxed 4 points 5 months ago

Thanks, shelving guy! That makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Thank you shelving guy, your work is always underappreciated

[–] simplejack 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

lol. Amazing.

I bet those Grinch pillows will be great on a summer beach.

[–] WhatsHerBucket 7 points 5 months ago

You can see the big wreaths on the wall in back.

Also not pictured is the 2 isles of ornaments -_-

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Christmas in July is a thing I suppose

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nor even Halloween can contain Chrisman anymore.

[–] Iheartcheese 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Chrisman is a shitty super hero

[–] simplejack 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Dude can heal and resurrect, but it takes him several days. So it’s not great for battles. He’s no Deadpool or Wolverine.

[–] Iheartcheese 2 points 5 months ago

Element of surprise

[–] aeronmelon 2 points 5 months ago

Part man, part... Chris.

My GF, who likes to make a lot of handmade gifts, says she understands craft stores like Hobby Lobby (which this is) putting put stuff out early, since other crafters are probably starting their projects around this time and might need a few months to get them ready.

But this shit better not cross over into regular retail stores.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

"Only 191 days until Christmas" means it wasn't christmas!

[–] aeronmelon 4 points 5 months ago

In-character misdirection from the Grinch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

It's always Christmas in your heart

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Light it on fire and call it a Yule log.

[–] creditCrazy 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Sometimes I wonder if even Mariah carry is sick of all I want for Christmas is you playing on loop at every store everywhere

[–] AngryCommieKender 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

She makes millions in royalties every year, somehow I suspect that she doesn't even hear it since she has the money to have absolutely everything delivered. Why would she go to a store?

[–] vinyl 2 points 4 months ago

On the other hand if I was this popular, I would not want to be seen in public unless I have to be seen.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

i listen to that song all year round

[–] erp 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There is nothing on that seasonal display barge worth 150 dollary-doos. Or is there? What year is it and what's the inflation rate?

I'm also mildly concerned about the handcuffs in the top-shelf plastic bin.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Good call, and you know that tree is a plastic piece of junk

I honestly didn't mind when stores sell Christmas stuff early. Some people like to plan things out. What bugs me is when they put up their own decorations early or start playing Christmas music.

[–] simplejack 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oftentimes the stuff goes out on the floor early because big box store don’t have much of a back room. So when the holiday decor boat from China docks, that stuff goes right on the floor asap.

Some stores seasonal product timing is heavily dependent on shipping and logistics timing.

[–] WhatsHerBucket 2 points 5 months ago

That’s likely the case here. It was just surprising to see so much Christmas already lol

[–] NoSpiritAnimal 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This looks like the discount and out of season pile at the back of the store. Note the Halloween decorations in the background.

[–] TGTX 4 points 5 months ago

It’s Hobby Lobby so there are Halloween and Christmas decorations up right now even if it’s June. It’s like they always start holiday decor 6 months in advance of the actual holiday.

[–] Etterra 1 points 5 months ago

It was probably taking up valuable warehouse space.

[–] gedaliyah 1 points 5 months ago

Wow these Q4 festivities start earlier and earlier
