Roxcii Rachelle 696 Report post Posted October 24, 2011 Instead of being like the Grinch , when you see Christmas stuff on the shelf , don't get flustered ( Even though thinking about the PRICE of Christmas is enough to get you down LOL ) , try to find the positive side of it & bring out some Christmas cheer .. Or put your head high and walk right past the eggnog. I think the reason the advertise early is because there are plenty Christmas freaks that makes the marketing company's job a lot easier for them by clearing all the Christmas stuff off the shelves before the end of October. & I do find , the earlier you do the Christmas shopping , the more deals you will find. The same thing you could buy right now , could be doubled in price by the time Christmas comes ... Just look at the upside :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KaceyKatzegeist 152 Report post Posted October 25, 2011 I'm pretty sure I've seen egg nog here way earlier.... However, I wholeheartedly agree. May we please get past Hallowe'en before Christmas gets to take of the 75% of the seasonal aisle in a store? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted October 25, 2011 Just came back from grocery shopping, egg nog out already.Haven't had Halloween yet, now a Christmas drink out already Getting way too commercialized RG Don't be fooled by that glimpse of eggnog. I found some 2 weeks ago, in one location of a drugstore chain. No other grocery store or location that i visited, INCLUDING THAT SAME ONE a week later, had any eggnog of any kind anywhere. It was like a cruel joke, because I didn't pick up two or three cartons, believing that there would be more everywhere. I put it in coffee, like an eggnog latte. Terrific. in the meantime, Halloween must come first, and be treated with all due respect, of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
