Christmas Creep Begins: Home Store Has Sale on Fake Trees
From Reddit: Went to Garden Ridge today and this is the first thing I saw. It's August 2nd for fucks sake.
I think this is the first Christmas Creep pic to hit the net...if you have Christmas up in your store, send a shot of it to RHU!

Do people actually buy those hideously-colored trees on the right side of the picture? Who would want an orange Christmas tree?

Garden Ridge is a lot like Hobby Lobby. They put stuff like this out early because a lot of people buy their deco a little at a time or several months before Christmas in order to keep from spending a fortune all at once in the winter. I did that with my first decorations and tree.

I worked at a Garden Ridge, and YES, people buy these. I miss the days when they had books for a dime. That was one of the few perks working there.

Bad enough they're being put out in August, but those have got to be the ugliest Christmas trees I've ever seen!
I'd take a Charlie Brown-style droopy twig w/single ornament over one of those.
