Thread: First Halloween sighting in stores...

Tweet

i was in michaels a few months ago and the lady said that in late july they will be putting old spookytown stuff out for clearance, not sure if she was telling the truth or what but i better get saving for the new spookytown, i have nowhere to put anything in my village, but when i walk down the isle an hear all the houses i cant stop myself from buying something. i always sacrifice for spookytown lol....gas in my car or spookytown? hmmm...spookytown!!!

How exciting!! And a little scary....As i've gotten older time just seems to move more quickly. The years are just flying by! For now, I want to embrace summer (even tho I hate it!) so that I can enjoy being 36 for as long as I possibly can!

That being said, I always look forward to the first sightings of fall/Halloween merch. Also enjoy when the fall catalogs start arriving at home! Can't wait!! Oh,wait...yeah,... I can.

All I can say is, ``OMG, WTF, we haven`t even had Summer Solstice yet!``

How about we just skip Summer altogether this year and go right straight into Fall and Halloween? Seriously, though, I can't wait until all the stores start putting out Halloween merch

Let the spending BEGIN!

I was in Michael's last week and they didn't have anything yet. I guess I'll have to stop back by there.

It should be about time for Garden Ridge to start putting their stuff out, if any of you have one of those nearby. I've been too busy to swing by there but they always have a good selection out by mid June. They put their stuff out very slowly but by mid July they've got their whole Halloween inventory on the shelves.

My wife got to where she hates Garden Ridge with a passion because I drag her out there at least twice a week throughout the summer. It's the only place I can really get that early Halloween fix

Yes usually after the 4th of july, the fall stuff than the Halloween stuff starts to come out. Depends on the store, two Halloween's ago - the Michaels manager "doesn't like Halloween," so he put all the stuff out right before he was required to. I hope that the manager has changed in the last two years. Joanns and Beverlys crafts usually put their stuff out early. Its always very exciting when the stores put out their Halloween stuff. I am with you guys on getting our early Halloween fix!

Our summer heat is officially going to start, and I am REALLY not looking forward to it. I am not really a shorts wearing, summer activies, going outside (for extended periods of time), kind of guy. I prefer it slightly on the cold side as its usually cold around Halloween. Its hard to get into the Halloween spirit and have to suffer through summer heat. We are supposed to get air conditioning, and I hope we do. Any of you guys and gals have a hard time dealing with summer and can't freakin wait until its cold with Halloween around the corner?

I hope to get to a garden ridge soon, I have heard so many great things but havent brought myself to drive the hour and a half to the nearest one.

I knew they'd start soon! I had better get over there, I have a 50% off coupon to boot! =) BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

never heard of Garden Ridge, what is it?
