I mean what did you expect? You went to Crackle Barrel. It's inventing new ways to suck.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I have no problem with stores selling holiday stuff way in advance of the holiday. Some people want to get their decorations all lined up, be working on crafts, or whatever. What I object to is when stores decorate for the holiday way in advance. I don't want to see Christmas trees and snow men in October or pumpkins and witches in July.
- I don't want to hear the music outside of December
  
  I don't want to hear the music outside of the week of Xmas. It's so annoying and repetitive.
  
  I only want to hear "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" on loop in every store ever day of the year.
  
  Absolutely! Maybe even mid-December.

With the death weather we’re having right now, seeing Xmas stuff would just make me angrier.

I buy stuff out of season because it saves money. I will be shopping for new summer clothing in two months.
- I'll shopping for summer clothing in 2 months because it'll still be hot AF

Costco has Xmas stuff out as well
- AND: They're selling flannel shirts and winter gloves! It's going to be 90 F here tomorrow. WTF?
  
  Yup. It was triple digits here in the southwest and they're selling coats and jackets like we're gonna need them this weekend.
  
  Probably gonna be 60F in January, too.

There used to be a shop (two shops, actually, operated by the same guy; he now retired) in my home town that was selling Christmas stuff all year. Not other stuff plus some Christmas stuff, but just Christmas stuff.

Christ(mas).
I thought it was bad in the UK when you start seeing Christmas adverts in October.

No! Not Labor Day!

This August is only half through,
But for some, winter’s soon to ensue
So don’t Grinch on this carol,
’Cause we know in the Barrel:
Crackers love their Christmas Scooby-Doo!

Cracker Barrel would like to welcome Grossweiner, party of 6
- But what happened to the DuFresnes? No one seems to care. Who can eat at a time like this? People are missing!

What kind of Labor Day stuff do they normally put out?

I do like that jumper though.

Have you ever been somewhere and seen one of those "Christmas all year around" stores with nothing but Christmas stuff inside? Who shops in those when it isn't near Christmas?
- Me...because it's next to impossible t find GOOD quality Christmas stuff during Christmas season. It's either that store, or the mass produced trash from Walmart. I'll take Christmas item shopping in june-august over Walmart crap
  
  I wish Australia had a large enough population to support this kind of nonsense because this is my kind of logic

Bro, you in a cracker barrel. All that gift shop stuff is just junk Xmas gifts tha g-ma picks up while waiting for her fried ocra.

Real shoppers buy their Christmas gifts in January where stuff is cheap

Christmas in July is a thing in a lot of places. This could just be marketing that hasn't been changed over yet.

Mf thought they were in south america 💀💀💀

Sounding a little grinchy, OP
- As I get older I realize why the Grinch wanted to live alone on a mountain with his dog.
  Also, maybe the Grinch wouldn't be so sour if everyone in town wasn't constantly singing songs about what a piece of crap he was!

Effin crackers

I've never willingly entered a cracker barrel.

Only idiotsbwith too much money would buy Grinch and Scooby decor to begin with, and idiots aren't great with calendar stuff.
