What? Already? Too Soon?

I was walking through Costco...patiently waiting for the Halloween costumes to show up.  I was surprised when they didn't show up until the end of July.  

I mean, for the last few years I have complained (mostly to my husband) that Christmas shows up in July (too soon).  I even noticed/complained a couple years ago when a major electronics retailer quietly showed their "Not Holiday" commercials (because they didn't say "Holiday or Christmas" in them, just showed Christmas stuff in the background while people shopped) IN SEPTEMBER.  

So it seems that Costco has moved their holiday induction back a few weeks.  

So next I was looking for the ever present Christmas ribbons that are always the first things I see in Costco before the onslaught of Christmas decorations.  The ribbons didn't show up until mid August.  And I was shocked how the ribbons had been picked through by someone who apparently already has their Christmas theme decided and bought every one of a certain ribbon. 😀🎄 Lucky them to have a theme already!

I'm just starting to feel like we can ease into the season when on my Facebook feed I see a promo from Country Living for the new Grinch movie with the trailer.

I have to say...the trailer is pretty funny.  Love the Pickle Scene!!

So, I'm back to feeling like we are easing into the season to a sudden car stopping where I think "Thank Goodness I had my seatbelt on or I would have ejected out of the front windshield" noticing this trailer was actually released June 15th on Country Living!

What do y'all think?  Too soon?  Is this just getting the kids on track for the movie  holiday season? Have you seen the trailer? (yes...I like it too, quietly can't wait)
