For the love of everything ever, it’s January.
Easter is in April this year and we haven’t even hit Valentine’s Day. But the retail calendar works a little differently these days. Behold the Easter candy displays:
I think it's a little early for the Easter candy display don't ya think ? #easter http://t.co/zdsDF3Rm6L—

Some stores didn’t even wait until January.
Now I think CVS is just trolling me. They put out the Easter candy two days after Christmas! http://t.co/stWsRfYVSZ—

Oh good, they got the Easter candy out. I was worried they might put that out too early this year. 😬 http://t.co/u9vKPdMGyn—

December? Come on.
We can pay all of it in January or 1/2 in January and 1/2 in July.
Not sure if it is set by the state or the county.
They still have “Easter” candy? I thought it was all “spring” candy now.
In minnepolis we have the peeps store at the mall of America.. year round peeps!
Stale is the best.
We always slit the plastic and let them sit for a few days.
I heard that the chocolate peppermint peeps that were out around Christmas were pretty good.
It's a little different at Hobby Lobby and Michael's because they are oriented toward selling equipment and supplies for crafts. If you're going to make some kind of holiday decoration, as many of us do, you need to be starting several months before the holiday. The displays put us in the mood to start on making stuff.
But a display of holiday candy several months before a holiday is DISGUSTING. Makes you realize that either (a) the candy is going to be rotten by the time the holiday arrives, or (b) it's full of whatever hideous toxic chemicals keep it from rotting in the intervening four or five months. In either case, Yuck.
My local grocery store has Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s and Easter displays already — went up right after Christmas.
I teach crafts so in a crafts store it is normal to see “Christmas in July” because crafters like to start 6 months before the holiday. Halloween usually appears around July or August, Valentine’s Day even before Christmas.
But, I too am seeing this in other stores. Pretty soon, ALL the holidays will be displayed all year round.
Last Easter we discovered the joy of Peeps smores....
