On the fence, this one is really tempting.
Signed up!
I have assigned partners and sent out questionnaires. Have fun!
Please make sure you received the questionnaire for the person to the right of your name on the post at the top
Had a feeling i might have been too late, no worries, off to look for a different swap to join.
Hi all - just a reminder, to verify that you have the right questionnaire for the person listed as your partner in my post above. Let me know if you have questions.
Check in question:
How soon is too soon to see Christmas stuff for sale in the store?
I went to Fresh Market at the tail end of August and they were already selling their bags of cinnamon scented pinecones. I think that is just WAY too early. Also I like cinnamon but those pinecones are super powerful. I try to hold my breath while I walk by.

Dollar Tree puts out a lot of Christmas crafting stuff at then end of August. I guess it gives plenty of time to make stuff, but, I prefer not to see Christmas stuff until at least after Halloween. It used to be that Christmas stuff didnāt even make it out until after Black Friday in Novemberā¦not anymoreā¦guess that is why we make fun and call it Hallowthanksmas! UGH!
I love Christmas, so I wasnāt upset to see it out alreadyā¦but feels too early to buy things.
Totally agree. August is ridiculous!!
Also - can confirm my questionnaire and partner match! Iāve already been brainstorming ideas.
I donāt like to see it before November. It is understandable to see it in the craft stores, but I donāt like seeing it in Walmart or the other places until after Halloween.
I agree. In craft stores, fine. You have to have time to make stuff, but in a regular store, give me until at least after Halloween!
I was about to say that craft stores are my exception. Iām ok with mid September for regular stores Because I love Christmas!
November is early enough for me (I also agree craft shops could be anytime though). August is ridiculous! I guess thatās how it is now. There were hot cross buns in the supermarket at New Year, itās like there are no proper seasons anymore. Maybe itās climate change.
I buy stuff to craft with from walmart so Iām happy to see an early selection. I got the very last nativity sheep yesterday! Baa!
I say after Thanksgiving for Christmas stuff in the stores, but maybe Iām a grinch. I went to Hallmark the other day and they were already playing Christmas music. Itās great and all, but not when itās still warm outside!
I made my sack!
