Does Christmas Stuff Go On Sale Too Early?

We’ve become used to the reality that Christmas decorations, cards and food will hit supermarkets and discount stores in September (if not sooner). But that has an even more irritating corollary: it means Christmas gear can actually be marked down in early November.

Instagram user ozdj makes the point with a picture of a packet of Cadbury Christmas-themed biscuits that have been put on sale:

Supermarkets already having clearance sales on Christmas lines. When will they stop the peddling of Christmas crap from Sep-Oct?!

Does the ever-earlier Christmas bother you, or are you happy that goods are becoming cheaper before the day? Share your perspective in the comments.
