By December, a lot of the good Christmas craft supply stock is gone. For those who mail handcrafted gifts, October isn't too soon to be able to buy 'stuff' to make them.
I do like the two Christmas stores in the nearby city though. They are open year 'round, and even on the hottest day, they are wonderlands of cheery, gaudy, fantastic, pretty, unusual (and otherwise), ornaments for Christmas. -- > > I think the reason the craft stores come out so early with their stock is > because most people want to start making their "crafty items" to give as > Christmas gifts.
