What's inside: I spotted a display of lowball glasses painted with colorful Christmas lights and looping "Kansas City" script, sitting just a few shelves away from standard summer merch.
Nearby, I found a wall of ornaments with everything from Chiefs helmets to KC skylines and Sporting KC logos, hanging neatly and fully stocked.
Between the lines: While there's no full-blown holiday section (yet), the presence of festive decor when it's 90 degrees outside feels like a quiet seasonal creep. The kind that might make you pause or reach for your wallet.
💭 Abbey's thought bubble: I think it's too soon. I'm all for local goods and holiday cheer, but July feels early. Let's at least get to Nov. 1, right?
Still, I know people who live for Christmas in July. So maybe I'm just no fun.
The bottom line: What do you think? Are you ready to see ornaments before Halloween? Or should we save the lights and garland for colder months?
