The unfortunate thing about X'mas

People buy lot of X'mas decorations and then can't figure out what to do with the stuff out of season,  The thrift stores end up getting a lot of it that they have to store.for most of the year.

Result: from sometime in October until probably the new year, thrift stores have to dedicate a significant amount of space to selling off all this inventory.  For smaller shops, the space required can be significant which cut down on space for other goods.  We've certainly seen collectibles and housewares removed from display.  Certainly makes shopping less attractive and fruitful in the latter part of the year.
