Popular Clothing Store Puts Out Anti-Christmas Sign, And People LOVE It
By Dreamer
As the holiday season is bearing down on us once again, it seems that the usual war on Christmas is in full swing this year. Oddly enough, a popular clothing store has put up an anti-Christmas sign, and people are freaking out over it – because they love it.
It’s known as the “Christmas creep,” and we see it every year as retailers strive to take advantage of the profitable shopping season. It seems that with every passing year, the Christmas decorations and products come out a little earlier.
This year I was seeing fake Christmas trees out before Halloween had come and gone – that’s a full two holidays early. Anyways, it seems that some have had just about enough of the nonsense and are striving to put an end to it in any way they can. Seeking to do just that, the Seattle-based department store known as Nordstrom recently put out a sign detailing their efforts and why they felt so strongly about them.
“We won’t be decking our halls until Friday, November 27. Why? Well, we just like the idea of celebrating one holiday at a time. From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.”
Although a picture of a sign taken in a Nordstrom store believed to be located in St. Louis is going viral, it’s not exactly a new policy.
“You see holiday things start to happen earlier and earlier. It’s never been a part of our business to look at what other retailers are doing and say, ‘How can we copy them?’” Nordstrom President Jamie Nordstrom said. “We want to play our game and be the best Nordstrom we can be. And part of that is celebrating one holiday at a time.”
I don’t know about you, but I get sick of seeing the holiday season stretched out to such lengths all in the name of dipping further into our pockets. It’s nice to see a business owner with the backbone to say enough is enough, and it may just make me more prone to go spend my money at a store like that this holiday season.
