SoCal. It's almost all shorts and t-shirts year round.

Texas is almost always blisteringly hot, and any temperature under 90 degrees is basically a new ice age.

I've got 8 bags of easter pastel rollos sitting in my desk drawer that say a definite yes.

Got a great deal on my convertible on one of those single-digit temps, double-digit winds December days…

I'm trying to Buy Speakerdocks off season (isn't Christmas about the only season they fly off the shelf) but Meh isn't very accommodating these days... maybe Speakerdocks are just my "thing" like @Barney has "purple" and... @billiehecka has "Bath" Speakerdocks are just mine I guess?

- @sammydog01 But it doesn't sound as good and I haven't seen a Bluetooth dock... Integrated MFI lightning port is essential for how I use them...

- @sammydog01 not nearly as good as a speaker dock. Plus I've had so many cables break on me...

I always buy my pumpkins right after Halloween, huge discounts. They are so soft by the time Halloween roles around next year I can carve it with a spoon. So save money and work. I win twice!

I'm sixty-two years old. We've lived in this house for thirty years. We already have all the things.

Well, I do take advantage of craft sales, like right now, silhouettedesignstore.com/ has their files for half off, including fonts. I went over to svgtools.co, bought a couple of download cards for under $19 each (worth $25 over on the silhouette store, an added bonus is a gift code for $6.99 at 3dsvg.com) and shopped my little heart out yesterday. Still have eight bucks left...

Lots of people here seem to equate season with weather. Independent of the temperature, you can still buy a Dodgers "shirsey" in the middle of December or Christmas cards in July and they are still off-season. Obviously if you are a Hindu and hate baseball, then neither of these are particular examples are applicable, but you get the point.

  I somewhat equate "season" with "weather". Here we have ""summer", which is hot, dry, and long-lasting. When it's not "summer" hereabouts, we have "weather".

Day after Christmas is when I get cards and wrapping paper. The good kind of both.

I bought a new ride on mower in December. Lots of extra points and the price was good too.

Sure. I always buy winter clothing in summer. I take a small loan on (some bullshit site) and buy everything needed. In such way I saved about 400$. Not bad, right?:)
