    I work for a catalogue company and we send out our Christmas preview catalogues late July - we wouldn't do it unless we got a good response from it.

    This however is just a balls up from the website content management system. Funny, but all too easy to do.

    I heard on the radio that some retailors are going to have their Christmas sales earlier (like starting now) to try to drum up sales...

    To be fair that happens a lot. As I said earlier, we start our Christmas ranges now. It's a good "toe in the water" if nothing else, because you get to see what is selling out fast and there is still just about enough time to order more stock from China or wherever those product lines come from.
