Halloween Store Catches Heat For Christmas Music

A Wisconsin Halloween store is making headlines, and some enemies, after playing Christmas music over their sound system despite the fact that Halloween is not even technically over yet.

Ghouls Depot is reportedly already playing Christmas tunes even though many customers say it’s way too early AND, that they want to hear Halloween music in a Halloween store.

The superstore’s manager Helen Shambly said, “This store turns into one of those Christmas-exclusive retailers at the stroke of midnight on Halloween night, so we’re just getting a head start on the transition. Besides, today is Halloween which means Halloween is officially over and we can focus on the next commercially viable holiday, and that is Jesus’ birthday. Sure, we’ve gotten nothing but complaints from shoppers all day about the festive music choices but give it a few weeks and they’ll still be complaining that it’s too early to hear these songs. Complaining about holiday music starting too early is what Christmas is all about.”

What do you think? Do people just like to complain or is it too early?
