Fighting Christmas Creep

11-19-2009_12-00-58_pm.jpg

We've imported every store from the USA and elsewhere. And yet our downtown core is really still about the two most pathetic department stores in the known universe. Not only that, but everyone has been rocking Christmas before Halloween here. But the fabulous, piano playing, awesome service retailer Nordstrom is fighting the Christmas creep and not doing Christmas until American Thanksgiving is over, again. Bravo. (Via The Consumerist)

As an aside, I nearly bought some Fossil shoes at The Bay the other day as I passed through on a work assignment - yes, this did involve shopping for Olympic crap. Turns out there was no one to actually get help from. Oh, except for the other Bay shoe store which will only help if you buy their shoes, not the regular Bay shoes. Huh? So not only did I refuse to buy them when someone showed up as I exited, I ended up buying two pairs of shoes at Zappos.com instead. Take that Bay. Jerks.
