For those that aren’t familiar, Spirit Halloween is a store that pops up in vacant stores around the middle of August and remain until early November. They sell Halloween things like costumes, decorations, etc. I wonder why there isn’t a Christmas version that could sell Christmas stuff that could pop up after Spirit leaves and remains until January. There’s plenty of Christmas decorations, tree, etc that are sold each year, feels like it would be something that could work.

    There’s this one storefront where I live that’s basically unused for the year. But once Thanksgiving comes near the owner of the building will stock it with Christmas decorations and trees for the town to buy. Locally we just call it the Spirit Christmas version.

    Year round, in many European cities you can find the Kathe Wolfhart stores. Omg. It will change you life. Grinches cured with one look at the weihnachtspyramide. The cruelest of summer heats is quenched. Life is good under thousands of handmade, wooden Santa’s.

    In 96 I worked at a Halloween shop that I do not think is around any longer. It may have been called Halloween Spirit. They had a year round shop called Spirit or something. They sold pool tables and ping pong tables. Anyway when the Halloween shop was closing for the year they were going to open a Christmas version. That was the only year I remember seeing it. I also do not remember the Halloween shop coming back the next year. (This was in Berks County PA in case it was regional, and now that I am thinking about it, their main location may have been King of Prussia)
