I am having a small Halloween party for DD and some of her friends on Monday. I've done this every year.
I went into Tesco at the start of the week and there was nothing in stock except a few costumes and some of those Halloween themed mini rolls. OK, whatever. I knew I would be in a bigger town today and thought I'd get something there.
Did I fuck. Went into four different shops, including Poundland, Asda and another Tesco. Fuck all. Loads of pumpkins outside Asda, but I had to ask for anything else - was shown one tiny bit of the seasonal aisle with a few masks and fake blood. Everything else was head to toe Christmas
Halloween isn't even here yet....all I wanted was some paper cups with fucking skulls on, and some of that spider web stuff.
The lady who helped me said they'd basically cleared out everything to make way for Christmas
I'm not a last minute shopper, it's the week before Halloween, aibu to think I should still be able to get Halloween themed tat?
I don't think I've every known so much Christmas stuff to be in the shops so early, at the expense of everything else
First world problem I know. But it's a bit bloody silly isn't it? We'll start getting bored of every seasonal celebration before the bloody date rolls round
