Anytime after they pack up or sell off the Halloween junk is fine by me. Not that I like the Xmas shopping season and all that comes with it, but let's face it ... BITOGers are not the target audience. A woman with a family to take care of and maybe a job, seven weeks isn't too much time to get it all done, and they make 70% of retail purchases. So I shut my mouth and put up with it.
If it were just us men, they could start three days before Christmas and get 90% of us to bite. But that's not how the world works.
