“RIMI… seriously? September isn’t even over, and Christmas slippers are already on the shelves! I haven’t even had time to switch to pumpkin season. Do you also think that Christmas has come too early this year?” wrote the author of the post dabas_studija_teici. In the comments, users suggested that stores have to start holiday sales early to sell off their entire inventory before Christmas. “I think that with an oversupply of holiday goods, they won’t be able to sell everything in two months, so they need to start earlier,” wrote one commenter. The author of the post responded ironically: “Let’s have time to warm up! And right before Christmas, put up a SALE!” Some users shared that preparations for the holidays started even earlier in other stores. “Go to IKEA, then RIMI will seem like a trifle,” advised inese_ell. According to her, New Year’s displays are already appearing almost at the entrance, and you can find garlands and Christmas stars for sale. “Seriously? I recently ordered pumpkins from IKEA — very beautiful! But I’m not ready for thoughts of Christmas yet,” admitted the author of the post. However, there were also those who saw nothing wrong with early preparations: “Better early than late.” And santcerb suggested looking at the situation with optimism: “The sooner the Christmas holidays pass, the sooner summer will come.”
