Santa was at our mall the day before Thanksgiving, though I'm sure he was there a while before that.
I mean, I guess they do the commercials to prep up for the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday), and the millions of sales going on that day.
I'm getting tired of the Garmin commercials though...
We have a Christmas Store in one of the cities next to mine - obviously the store gets busier this time of year, but I could never understand why people would go to that store in July.
