Every year, it seems like merchandisers rush toward Christmas even earlier, hoping they won’t miss out on the shoppers who really really like to get a jump on the holidays. I fear the next early Christmas sale at Hobby Lobby will be on Dec. 26, 2024, when it will be promoted as “Get ready for the 2025 Christmas Holiday season.”
I found something almost as surprising during an early July visit to our new Michael’s store in Las Cruces. Look at the photos below and you’ll see that they were already promoting stuff for Halloween. I mean really, the fireworks smell in the air from July the Fourth was still lingering in the neighborhood.
I’m not sure what to say about this. Maybe I should go back to the store and see if they already have a display up for Easter — or maybe Christmas 2025.
