Why on earth would you be within earshot of Sam's Club music?

After working in retail for 15 years there is nothing on this earth I detest as much as Christmas music. To hear it at least 8 hours a day for over three months straight was torture. The Christmas shopping season brings out the worst of the human race. I don't miss that job at all. After three years I am starting to enjoy Christmas again.

They really need to pass a law that states nothing Christmas related can be played/displayed until after Halloween (at least). Maybe even not until after Thanksgiving. Stores were putting out Christmas stuff right after Labor Day; it's a miscarriage of justice.

Sam's Club huh? I wonder if the music was recorded by underpayed children.

Playing the music already? Aren't they a little late?

In my past retail sales life, I had to work in the department store's Trim the Tree Shop one evening. It was an evening in the month of September, mind you, and the store was in GEORGIA! Talk about finding it hard to get into the Christmas spirit!

Every year I am reminded earlier of how glad I am that I don't celebrate xmas.

Halloween is the new xmas. Labor Day is the new Thanksgiving. And Memorial Day is now the new Halloween. President's Day is the new Memorial Day.

New Year's Day will now be celebrated sometime during November in the preceeding year. New Year's Eve no longer exists.

Hey, as long as retailers and advertisiers con the general public into purchasing earlier and earlier and earlier, that's all that really matters.....right?

By the way - how many advertisements will we see this year about buying more and more and more and more.......and simply putting it on your credit card? Hey - maybe you should take out a home equity loan to pay for that vacation or pay off those exorbitant (sp?) holiday bills.

:AOK:D

Me, too.... at Christmas time, not October. Three months is way too long. Mid November is the proper time to start pushing the holidays, imho. The way it is now, by the time it actually gets here, I have become sick of it all, and have a hard time getting into the mood I recall from my youth.

Hmmm... I'm probably in the minority of all minority groups of people who like Christmas music earlier rather than later! But it's a function of culture and faith. Where I grew up, Christmas stuff came out as early as September... but that's because we didn't celebrate events like Halloween and Thanksgiving prior to that. And it was the whole country, not just stores, that was doing it. The general mood was noticeably different (in a nice way of course) during those months.

Yep...work, that's what made Sam's Club successful...working hard to find value and serve the american consumer. Nothing wrong with real work, there's a profit to be made in it.

Could it be more "when" you grew up as opposed to "where?" I was a kid in SE Texas in the 60s, and we didn't see anything Christmas until mid to late November then. By the late 70s, it had started in September almost everywhere, especially huge chains.

In my case, it's "where". I grew up in the Philippines and we are a Catholic country (of course those who believe in Islam have issues with that but that's another story). Christmas for us has a religious meaning and it's practiced at work, schools, etc. Even today, some stores, offices, homes, etc. back there will bring out decorations as early as September 1 -- the beginning of the "ber" months (as in Septem-ber, Octo-ber, etc.).

OK, I see. I saw the "Texas" in your location, and I just assumed your were from there.
