Only One More Shopping Day Until Christmas

Even though there are 13 days left until the actual holiday there is only one more shopping day until Christmas, TDS has learned. According to the Group of Retailers Engaged in Enormous Discounting (G.R.E.E.D.)the holiday shopping season has been moved up one day every year for the past 13 years. A GREED spokesperson explains,"In an effort to cash in on the holiday retail boost as soon as possible each year we have been getting the holiday season into gear a little faster. This year for example the day after Thanksgiving was on November 12th." According to the spokesperson malls and outlets across America have been accomplishing this feat by putting out holiday decorations early, playing Christmas music in stores by August and bringing Santa's, gift wrapping stations and Salvation Army bellringers into stores as early as necessary. TDS has learned that shoppers can hit after Christmas sales on December 15th, and begin shopping for Valentines Day on the 23rd.
