Description

Thanks to Grow Therapy for sponsoring today’s video! See if you could pay as little as $0 at https://growtherapy.co/chondigital Holiday creep is that weird thing stores have been doing where they start holiday seasons earlier every year. It's become normal to see Christmas, Thanksgiving, autumn, and Halloween decorations in stores before the summer even ends. But are there real reasons why retailers like Walmart, Target, Kmart, and Amazon are transforming their stores in spooky Halloween playgrounds in mid-July? Yes, that's what I explain here. Also, lol. Kmart. 📓 Use code CHONDFN10 at checkout for 10% off your first order of Field Notes: https://fieldnotesbrand.com/?aff=101 📓 https://chon.digital/ https://soundcloud.com/chondigital https://www.tiktok.com/@chon.digital https://www.instagram.com/chon.digital/ #commentary #halloween #christmas #holiday #videoessay #nostalgia
