How early do you start shopping for Christmas? I don’t usually start this early – but according to a report on NBC News, the supply chain is delayed (thanks to a combination of Covid and lack of workers to unload the boats), that one store says it will “hoard” items and not put them all out now – because when Christmas time comes along – the store will not easily replace the [toy] item.
