What Would Jesus Buy?

What Would Jesus Buy?

Just caught this documentary on the Sundance channel called What Would Jesus Buy.

It's a little over the top as you might guess, but it definitely makes a big statement about the over commercialization of Christmas, and what's really going on for the holidays.
Here at Respect the Turkey, we really like the idea of a whole month of giving thanks before everyone starts asking for presents!

Holiday Home Depot

Maybe they should change the name?

These pics are from before Halloween.

Kroger slowly sneaking in santa

The ends of a few aisles now are starting to have some Christmas stuff already.

Halloween stuff is still for sale, and there are a few small Thanskgiving things if you look hard enough!

Hallmark Turkeys

To be fair, the hallmark store did have a few small shelves of Thanksgiving items!

Deck the Hallmark

It's still over two months from Christmas, and not even Halloween yet, but Hallmark is already trying to cash in on the Christmas spending.

Khols Kringle time

Khols is rolling out the decorations and starting to bust out the Christmas merch. Still weeks before Halloween.

Meijer marches in the merch

Apparently two weeks before Halloween is time to dump all the pumpkins and ghosts into the bargain bin and start getting people ready for the next 10 weeks of Christmas!
