Apparently it is never too early to start holiday shopping.

Because there are six fewer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, Walmart is getting in the Christmas spirit on Oct. 25, a full two months early.

The retailer says “deal drops” began at midnight.

Walmart is not alone in the early start. Target plans to offer deals to its Target Circle members beginning on Nov. 1.

The good news for those who don’t like too much holiday shopping? Many major retailers are closing on Thanksgiving this year.
