I don't mean to frighten you, but did you know the Holiday season is 5 months away? Only 5 months away! It seems we are happily coasting along through the summer going to the pool, enjoying the sunshine when suddenly retailers remind us that now is the time to start making our list and checking it twice or we will be in serious trouble come December.
Christmas in July sales are quite popular from many major retailers and offer serious discounts on items for the entire family. Stores such as Toys"R"Us are offering deals on merchandise and shipping way before the first snowflake has fallen. Even stores like KMart and Sears are not only offering discounts, but many locations have Christmas products for sale right now. Eager early shoppers are scouring the stores, hunting for online deals, and plan on taking it easy during the holidays. This sounds great in theory and something that I say that I will do every stinkin' year after the holidays. Do I actually follow through? Umm...no, but maybe this is the year! Maybe I can have all of my shopping done by Thanksgiving and can just happily bake Christmas cookies, look at twinkling lights, and attend festive parties.
Maybe, but right now I am heading to the pool.
