Was in downtown Seattle yesterday and noticed that the majority of the display windows at Nordstrom were papered over, from the inside, showing no product. In the center of the windows was a large sign – one that I recognized from the Bellevue store – that states: “At Nordstrom, we won’t be decking our halls until Friday, November 23rd. Why? Well, we just like the idea of celebrating one holiday at a time. From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving. Nordstrom will be closed Thanksgiving Day. On Friday, our doors will open to welcome the new season.” And it looks like they’ve been doing it since at least 2007.

That’s when I realized that when I was in the Bellevue store that there was not one Christmas decoration to be seen, even as recently as Nov-14.

Holy. Shit.

Way to stay classy Nordstrom.
