Think it’s too early to start your holiday shopping? Clearly, the retailers don’t want you to think that. Starting in October of each year, you can usually walk into the seasonal section of any big-box store and see Christmas items next to Halloween costumes and menus offering a catered Thanksgiving dinner.
As much as you might despise Christmas creep, your wallet might benefit if you get into the holiday spirit ahead of time and actually start buying gifts. What about Black Friday, you say, the day after Thanksgiving that supposedly marks the start of the Christmas shopping season because everything is on sale? Or Black Friday's younger more tech savvy sister Cyber Monday?
