The Consumerist has been diligently documenting this year’s Christmas Creep. In our morning meeting, everyone seemed to think it’s starting earlier than usual this year, and that’s probably a reflection of the dismal season retailers think they’re about to have. (K103 is already playing holiday music, too. We’re checking to see if that’s earlier than normal.)

That’s Pat Dooris’ story today. He’s heading out to find out how scared the stores are, and how much regular folks are cutting back.

Is it going to be a DIY Christmas at your house? We’re hoping for some anecdotal evidence from a Jo-Ann Fabrics or Michaels crafts.
