There's no better way to show your support for the war on Christmas Creep than to strap a bottle rocket to a reindeer ornament, or maybe point a Roman candle at a Santa lawn figure.

It's Going To Get Crowded At This Kroger Come Easter
You people had better start buying some of this holiday crap if you want Kroger to have any room for Fourth of July supplies. At least, we're assuming this is left-over holiday coffee for sale. If it isn't, then, as our tipster Paul puts it, "I believe that February 14th marks a new record for the earliest start of a store's Christmas Shopping season." *shudder* -

"Black Friday" Starting At Halloween This Year
"Black Friday" is traditionally known as the day after Thanksgiving where retailers drastically cut their prices and offered crazy door prizes to pack the Christmas shoppers in, but this year, it's going to be earlier than ever before. Dealnews reports that now it's no longer just a day, it's a season, and it's starting at Halloween. Dealnews expects Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon to start offering Black Friday-esque sales early on gadgets like LCD TVs, Blu-ray players, and GPS devices. This is officially the creepiest of all Christmas Creeps.
