I was in the store on Friday looking for Halloween candy & it had all been moved to a discount rack & there were aisles of Christmas things in their place. I was in shock! I never did find any Thanksgiving things.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654509650864355987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103773585105300.post-80804570894059099992010-10-24T19:59:55.216-04:002010-10-24T19:59:55.216-04:00Julie:

We only do immediate family because it was getting out of hand, expensive and you can find just a "little something" without spending a lot.CMashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02127437807115591580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103773585105300.post-14957714559709882492010-10-24T18:02:34.727-04:002010-10-24T18:02:34.727-04:00I haven't celebrated Christmas for 35 years.

So any music, decorations, etc. is to early for me. <br /><br />We were shopping on Friday, and I noticed in the stores the Christmas decorations, tress and so forth are out. I don't even shop if I can help it in Nov. and Dec. because of all the Christmas music, etc. I just get sick of hearing it. And the commercials drive me crazy, so I watch very little TV during now and the new year. When I do, I mute the commercials.

I love learning about people, different traditions, different religions, different everything, thats why I have a habit of asking a lot of questions, not to be newsy, but to learn. Thank you.<br /><br />Carol:<br />I'm with you.

I stick with the traditional 12 days before Christmas day and the decs come down on 2nd January.<br /><br />carolCarol https://www.blogger.com/profile/14000600761469156146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103773585105300.post-5881960738789698142010-10-24T11:20:55.873-04:002010-10-24T11:20:55.873-04:00Totally agree!

In Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving in October about 3 weeks before Hallowe'en and stores get X-mas decorations up between then & Hallowe'en, then right on Nov. 1, it's an X-mas melee--music, decorations, commercials, everything.

I was in a taxi heading to work and the station that the driver was listening too played Christmas carols all the way to my destination. And this was in the beginning of October. For us, this kind of thing is not weird since the day after Christmas is considered the start of Carnival. So we have gotten used to hearing Christmas music early in the year but i think this year was the earliest...lolBookventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533767618250098740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103773585105300.post-66553821097267778792010-10-24T08:46:24.181-04:002010-10-24T08:46:24.181-04:00I do think it's too early!

Having the decorations up for a short time is part of what makes them so special.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.com
