I saw Christmas decorations going up the day after Halloween. Ugh! Thanksgiving > Christmas in my opinion. All the food and family and togetherness without the commercialism. Plus the Friday after Thanksgiving is a paid day off at my job.

That's really late. Some stores around here were putting xmas stuff out along with the back to school sales stuff!

I couldnt even find any last minute Halloween decorations at store because they had already been replaced with Christmas items.

Yeah, I'm seeing a few houses in our area already putting up the lights. It could be because we have several companies that advertise they put up lights, and that's when people could get appointments to have it done.
