I worked in retail for over 25 years. Each year, the Xmas stock would arrive by the end of June, and each year I was tasked with setting everything up, usually during the beginning of October.Nearly every customer who walked by frowned and said, very ‘originally’ [s/c], “Xmas ALREADY??? It’s too SOON!!”Like it was MY decision.I’m amazed that I never went Postal.
If you can come up with a better story, let minnow.
