NEW YORK

- Some retailers say they’re doing it no earlier than in years past. But others admit they are trying to generate an early buzz about Christmas shopping this year. And given how bland business has been recently, who can blame them?

Costco’s among the first to get the Christmas offerings out this year, and the way the inflatable snowman’s been selling, consumers obviously aren’t objecting that much.

“We sold three of them last week - believe it or not,” Brian Thomas, the Costco store manager, said.

But for many, the last week of summer is just too early to get the spirit.
