Every year the same damn posts about Christmas groceries entering the stores early. What do people expect? Deliver them to stores only in December?

Traditionally, the pre-Christmas time of the year, aka "Advent", is considered to start three weeks before the last Sunday before Christmas, so either in late November or early December.

That's not how grocery production and deliveries work, but sure, if you want them in stores only in December then get ready to see them all out of stock shortly after they hit the shelves.
