That't the "universal reason" for grandmas to go shopping when they can't think of another good excuse. It's kinda like us finding an excuse to go to Harbor Freight because we "need" a tool for the tractor.

What Christams shopping that I do, I do during the summer. I HATE shopping, and hate the holiday crowds. I get things as I find them for friends, so all that I have to do after Halloween is wrap!
Shopping is for those that don't have enough things to do on their tractor!

School begins next week, so Back to School is old stuff. What bothers me is when places put out Christmas stuff, before we have had Halloween.

Don, you should have plenty of summer decorations all around the outside of your home.
What are summer decorations BTW?

I was hoping you would not ask. Those colorful things that hang or twirl or dangle in the wind, and/or the colorful accents to enhance a festive mood, excluding balloons and pink flamingos.

Hobby and Arts and Craft places have Christmas out in summer, because many people make their own decorations and gifts. Having that stuff available in the summer allows people to buy the goods for crafting their own, in time to be ready for the holidays.
If you don't need large items, Dollar General, and places like that have summer items, such as whirlys and garden flags, etc. Much of that will likely be on clearance now, or soon.
