NJBlue is correct...
Some of neighborhoods come in to the store and buy large quantities of the same outdoor decorations (such as the set of spiral lighted Christmas trees). I can tell you first hand...if you want them BUY THEM NOW or they will not be there. Our store (HD-Lady Lake) was set two days ago for the Holidays and I've seen baskets full rolling out. There will be groups that come in and buy 20 or more of the same item. Only so many of each are allocated per store, although one could go online and order until that supply is depleted.
Although I am not neccessarily for the early set, The Villages are different from anywhere else in the country, and I guess they are trying to make everyone happy.
See you in the aisles...FA-LA-LA-LA-LA!!
