Wow, that time already?! A few retailers are already getting a head-start on the Christmas email rush!

Is it too early? One one hand, you can find great deals, beat the store crowds, and not worry about rush shipping charges.

When you're ready to join the Christmas bandwagon, make sure to check out Chad White's "2009 Retail Email Guide to the Holiday Season," scheduled for release in mid-August at his Retail Email Blog.
