The picture above, if you can read a bit of Japanese, makes it clear that America isn't the only place that gets ahead of the game on such things. If you look in the lower right hand corner of the window, you can see a poster of a model in a Santa hat holding a bucket of Christmas fried foodstuffs. This picture was taken in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, on October 21 by my brother-in-law.
Though I personally am not troubled by Christmas creep, I think this one is a more defensible one even among those who find it annoying. KFC has to fulfill a lot of orders for the Japanese traditional dinner experience and the earlier they know what to expect the better. What is more, their ability to fill them in a timely fashion is limited and customers may actually appreciate the chance to get in at the head of the line as early as possible.

What makes the picture "Randy"? :-D
I actually haven't seen the Christmas creep much this year, but then again I haven't gone out a lot lately.
A few years ago I saw a Christmas tree decorated with Halloween stuff in a McDonalds! That was quite odd.
Wow, that was seemingly a Freudian slip. ;-)
