Quote from Kassz007:

Why is this a shame? Who is it hurting?

It's called good business. If you own a store and can do something to increase sales, would you do it?

This is business, man. Wake up. There is nothing wrong or shameful here.

I don't think the point is that they're wrong or shameful, rather it's the reason they're needing to do it.

This is not true though. Retailers have been rolling out the Christmas displays earlier and earlier every year, including the boom years. They aren't suddenly pushing Christmas earlier this year because the economy is bad...

----I find it extremely sad that each year they try to push christmas up months before the day even happens.
----Stores Push Black Friday Into October....

The Christmas music in the stores a few weeks ago was annoying.
