RETAIL holiday usually starts around November. That's when all the new toys come out and the shops do half of their yearly business.

You'd think we would be able to spread things out better.

I blame Pumpkin Spice.

'Member in Mallrats when they mention the Easter Bunny, and say he's been set up in the mall since two days after Christmas? (Even that line is supposed to be the character exaggerating, but it totally seems that way sometimes....You'll see Christmas decorations right behind the Halloween stuff...Get yer Pumpkin Spice in September!!

It's from the movies. They have two big seasons, which are summer (end of may to end of July) and holiday (which encompasses Thanksgiving and Christmas).
