Christmas creep: Nordstrom draws a line in the pre-Labor Day Summer sand

USA Today notes the endless cascade of retailers jumping the starting blocks of the Christmas sales blitz by reporting that Costco's Christmas decorations were up before Labor Day (that would be Summer, AKSARBENT observes crossly.)

By the  end of September, Home Depot, Kmart, Sears and Walmart also will have holiday trimmings in stores.

Not so Nordstrom, which never decorates before the day after Thanksgiving. Spokesperson Pamela Lopez: "We believe in celebrating one holiday at a time."
