Talk:Christmas creep

WikiProject
I hate how these WikiProjects take up space in the Discussion tab... I click on the tab thinking there's discussion about Christmas Creep and there's not. -Rolypolyman (talk) 02:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC) (Grinch)

For some reason this article made little mention of Advent which starts four Sundays before Christmas Day. Non-Christians may not realize that the holidays frequently begin in November, so I added this. However, it makes some of the rest of the article seem unusual. For example, there would be nothing "creepish" about Christmas music beginning in early December. --75.204.129.106 (talk) 17:36, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Let's create a "seasonal retail creep" article
Given how the phenomenon has extended beyond Christmas to include earlier marketing of all seasonally-themed merchandise, I move that we create an article titled "Seasonal retail creep" for Wikipedia, and that this article be incorporated into the new one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karlbonner1982 (talk • contribs) 01:49, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * That probably does need its own article. Christmas creep should somehow include the fact that the celebratory elements of Christmas - decorative lights, trimming Christmas trees, and the commercial aspects of placing Christmas displays in shop windows, have also been subject to creep. As a boy in the 1960s and 1970s, I clearly recall not seeing lights or displays for Christmas any earlier than about two weeks prior to the 25th. This information might be hard to corroborate, or even research, beyond oral histories however. PJtP (talk) 22:41, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
