Stores have seasonal sections. When 4th of July has passed, halloween is the next big retail holiday, followed by Christmas. When you consider that empty seasonal sections are the alternative, halloween in July makes a lot more sense.

What I’ll never forgive is Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

What else are stores supposed to do with their seasonal areas other than stock for the next decoration-based holiday?

Well, people are obviously buying this shit in summer, so don’t complain about the stores. It’s a worldwide phenomenon, too.
