It's the beginning of fall and while many of us are focused on Halloween, you may have noticed Christmas and holiday products hitting shelves instead. Given that the holiday season is still three months away, you may be wondering why businesses are already sharing their Christmas products. This phenomenon is known as "Christmas Creep."

Every year, it seems holiday decorations pop up on store shelves earlier and earlier. In fact, there is even a word for it – “Christmas Creep,” or the tendency for Christmas products, decorations, and advertising to be displayed earlier each year. While we are more than four weeks from Thanksgiving and even more from Christmas, it is possible you will see holiday decorations soon.

The term of art for this phenomenon is “Christmas creep.” But is Christmas really creeping? The phrase has been in use since at least the 1960s, and I found a complaint about October Christmas ads “rushing the season” in a newspaper from all the way back in 1901. Is Christmas creep one of those eternal gripes, like how old people have been railing against young people’s terrible music and lack of respect for fine lawn care since Plato’s time?
