I have no idea. Maybe it's something that crept in from the world of
text messaging.

 
Don't forget the Valentines.  I expect Home Good (where I work) to
start getting Valentine stuff in December once the Christmas item
shipments start dwindling.  Our Halloween stuff came the last week of
June and Christmas stuff came not too long after and is still coming.
A few harvest items came and are still in the store.  We got some
nutcrackers that seem more like something for St. Patrick's Day (they
wear green and are decorated with shamrocks) and that's not even until
March!  It's only two weeks until Thanksgiving.  Yet I'm planing to
get Christmas presents before this month is over to avoid the
stressful December rushes in stores.  And with the special 20%
employee discount this weekend (our employee discount is normally 10%)
how can I resist trying to find a few presents?  But I don't want to
get too greedy about this, and unfortunately there isn't something for
everyone I need to get stuff for at my store.

There are no sales at the store where I work, but merchandise gets
marked down after a few months. since there are no sales, we don't
expect to have a big crowd the day after Thanksgiving.   it wasn't
that busy last year on that date.  And we're across the street from
Wal-Mart, which no doubt was busy that day last year and again this
year.
