For Hallmark’s part, this is largely customer demand. I’m not sure when the whole Hallmark Christmas tree ornament thing started, but it’s HUGE! Heck, we even have a few here — there’s a Galileo shuttlecraft (when you press the button on top, Spock’s voice says “Happy Holidays — live long and prosper!”), and a few others like that. Wonder if they’ll have any Transformer ornaments this year?

I remember in High School, I took a summer job with a florist, and saw all the xmas stuff on display at the wholesalers in July.

I worked at a large department store. We would get shipments of Christmas trees (artificial) in August. That was pretty sad.

Now that I am out of retail (I only worked in retail to make money when I was unemployed), I didn’t even notice Christmas was coming until the second week of December. I enjoy Christmas a lot more now.

I love Christmas but I love it at Christmas time. Not for the 4th of July.

Let each Holiday have its own time and place/season.

My friend owns a Hallmark store. He says that they make something like over 80% of their money at xmas. The rest of the year they operate at a loss.
