Yeah I was shocked to see Christmas stuff out already too. Although I must say I've been thinking about what to do for Thanksgiving for a few weeks now...
Part of me says you can never celebrate the birth of Christ too early ~ another part of me says that "obviously" Christmas has lost it's meaning to a lot of folks.

I Was Not Insulted In Any Way What So Ever Mare! I Was Just Saying What I Felt About The Christmas Decorations Being Out Before Halloween ~ I Remember When We Used To Feel Insulted Because They Were Out Before Thanksgiving!
I guess I have worked in retail too long. Ten years! But I am used to seeing Christmas decorations arriving in the stores around August. Heck there is only 58 more shopping days until Christmas!!! I have already bought my lights for my house this year.
It definitely does feel weird to see decorations when there's absolutely no snow on the ground! As much as I love Christmastime, it doesn't need to be 3 months long.
I have a jump on the holiday season. As I had mentioned in another thread, I never took my Christmas tree down. I just have to scoot it back in front of the bay window and plug it in and I'm all set. I plan to start my shopping next week.
I would never consider buying a real tree this earlly because of the fire hazard.
