Did anyone see the sign outside Nordstrom?

It said something like, "We will not be decorating for the holidays until after Thanksgiving. Enjoy your Thanksgiving".

Almost to make a point that everyone else starts way too early.

me too!!

ETA: What great publicity. I mean, we are talking about it, articles are being written about it and it only cost the printing up of a few signs.

I think it's more about making a statement than explaining themselves.

ditto....they are probably saying 'hey we don't need to celebrate the holidays 4 months early!"

i wish more stores did this.

Re: Did anyone see the sign outside Nordstrom?

i am glad they aren't decorating but i don't see the need for a sign explaining themselves - it's a little disrespectful to the stores that choose to decorate earlier, IMO.

don't get me wrong - i personally HATE when stores start decorating for the holidays before halloween is even over... but sometimes silence speaks volumes, KWIM?

I agree with this.

And actually, I think the sign will prompt MORE questions, not fewer.

Sounds like great marketing to me!! Chat Icon It's definitely creating a "positive buzz" from most.

I think it's more about marketing than "making a statement" honestly. They want people to actually notice that they haven't decorated yet.

I think that is great! I think the Holiday season is way too rushed into, and Thanksgiving is so glossed over. Good for them! Chat Icon
