HoneyBee Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Well if you would like to have a real early Xmas celebration it is now possible since yesterday I noticed that Soriano's already has Xmas decorations on sale ! Personally I find this kind of depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 WalMart had a shelf of decos out two weeks ago, then this week they parked some Hallowe'en decos in front of that stand. Hallowe'en, not Dia de los Muertos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Gosh and we haven't even had Thanksgiving yet (We can celebrate 2 Thanksgivings in Mexico, Canadian on the 2nd? Monday of Oct and US on the 4th? Thursday of Nov.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Remember...... Mexicans traditionally have their homes all decorated and their nacimientos in place by end of November at latest. So giving time for shopping etc. I guess we need to respect that traditional time, even if early in foreigner's minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 A group of us always went to Salvador's for the buffet on Canadian Thanksgiving, American Thanksgiving and Christmas. We prefer the buffet style so we can choose what goes on our plates. Anyone know of any other restaurant that does a special buffet on those dates? T.I.A. Over commercialization, in Mexican stores, has been rampant for well over 10 years. It is disheartening and I do find it depressing. Even in San Miguel way back when, we had kids coming to the door for three nights in a row... October 31st (Halloween), November 1st (Dia de los Muertos para ninos) and November 2nd (Dia de los Muertos). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegarn Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Early commercialization of holidays happens in Canada and the U.S. as well. It seems like every holiday display gets earlier every year. Same with the back-to-school sales. I remember seeing Walmart in Canada putting out their back-to-school items on the shelves in June, before the old school year had even ended! Ridiculous!

If you have a copy of this week's Reporter, there are five ads for Canadian turkey dinners (their head of Sales went all out to make sure they all advertised this event). However, none are buffets. Even Panino is advertising, which is kinda silly, because they have a turkey dinner every single week... except on October 8, it will be the same meal but cost you more. They don't include a drink or a dessert, so when you check out the competition's prices, keep that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panino's Thsanksgiving meal is a little different than their Wednesday turkey meal as it includes stuffing and green beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
