When I stopped by Walmart yesterday, the big Halloween banners were down, but they still had a Halloween section (leftovers which they were trying to sell on clearance). Christmas merchandise was still confined to the Lawn and Garden section, not in the main store, however, it has COMPLETELY taken over the Lawn and Garden section. They even had a CD player hooked up and it was playing Christmas music (to help set the mood, for shoppers). cheesy
