If you’re the kind of person who likes to start getting their Thanksgiving table ready several months in advance, you’re in luck. Just stop by reader Shaun’s local Stop and Shop grocery store and you can start sticking ceramic turkeys anywhere in your house that you please.

Fortunately(?) we haven’t received any true Christmas Creep submissions yet. The following places do not count, so we can’t be dismayed when we see Christmas decorations there as early as July:

• Craft stores (you have to start those winter crafts early)
• Warehouse clubs (this is controversial, but warehouse clubs sell to small businesses, maybe)
• Hallmark (they do this every year for some reason)
