EVERY year it feels like the festive season starts earlier and earlier.
Shoppers have shared their annoyance at Hobby Lobby for launching a Christmas sale before Halloween.

The arts and crafts store announced the 50% off holiday sale earlier this month.
Reductions apply to all Christmas decor, including trees, decorations, and crafts.
“Deck the halls with all things Christmas,” the retail chain wrote on a Facebook announcement, first posted on September 30.
The sale includes items such as a Light Up Gingerbread House, reduced from $49.99 to $24.99.
A Christmas-themed candle is also available as part of the sale for just $7.99.
The Peppermint Bark Candle Tin was previously listed for $15.99.
As well as making your home smell like the holidays, you can add some festive lights.
Rather than simply opting for the run-of-the-mill string fairy lights, you can add a personal touch with a LED sign.
A Hot Cocoa LED Wood Sign is currently reduced from $21.99 to $10.99.
And if that’s not enough light this holiday season, a mini light-up tree is also available.
The Green Light Up Christmas Tree is currently available for $24.99 after originally being listed for $49.99.
Shoppers can also pick up a Grinch-themed pillow for just $17.49, reduced from $34.99.
Ironically, one of the cartoon character’s famous phrases is printed on the front of the item.
“‘Maybe Christmas,’ he thought, ‘doesn’t come from a store.’”
This was a mentality shared by many Facebook users, who took to the comments section to share their frustration over the early sale.

“Stop rushing the seasons!” wrote one unimpressed shopper.
“I haven’t even started eating Halloween candy!” said another commenter.
A third person commented that they were “not ready for this yet.”
However, others were keen to get in the holiday spirit as soon as possible.
“Already started listening to Christmas music!” wrote one enthusiastic person.
“Love it!” said another excited Hobby Lobby shopper.
