Halloween is nearly here, and Thanksgiving is probably only a glimmer in the eye of your most organized family member. Here atEntrepreneur'sNew York office, we've just come off a week of humidity and temps in the 70s and 80s, so Christmas still seems pretty far away. But 'tis the season for retailers to start getting into the holiday spirit.

Neiman Marcus recently rolled out its 90th annualChristmas Bookgift guide. The retailer first launched the Christmas Book as a 16-page catalog in 1926, but in its modern incarnation, it's best known for itsFantasy Gifts.
