is Christmas coming to early?

Are stores putting Christmas things out too early? While walking through a department store, all I could see were Christmas decorations. My immediate reaction was, we are in October. Christmas is more than two months away; we still have two holidays to celebrate before Christmas is here - Halloween and Thanksgiving. I know that Christmas is a very important holiday because we’re celebrating the birth of Jesus, but Thanksgiving is a very important holiday too and I think that Christmas is overshadowing it. Stores should put out Christmas decorations after Thanksgiving; so people aren’t forgetting about how important Thanksgiving is. I also feel like having things out for Christmas so soon causes a negative idea about Christmas because having customers see Christmas decorations and things makes the customers think that they have to start buying things now and gets them in a hurry so they don’t get to stop and enjoy the Christmas spirit. Christmas should be something to be excited about; not thinking of how much money you are going to be spending. I think that keeping the Christmas things out of the store until after Thanksgiving will help us be able to relax more and enjoy the months before the rush of getting everything done before Christmas. I believe seeing the Christmas things in the stores before it is time to even think of Christmas gets us worried about getting everything done in time when we should really just stop and enjoy the holidays.
