Move to the south and keep the lights and decorations up all year long!

Oh, are you talking about outside decorations? Those are easy, I just string some lights around the front door, the front entry steps and the garage door. Done.
It's putting up the tree that I hate doing.

I think around here Costco has the record for earliest Christmas products being out, the local store started putting it out end of July/first week of August.
They even had a electric heater on display and operating, nothing like walking down an aisle to get blasted with hot air on a 85F day...lol
Wal-Mart started once the school stuff was moved out of the seasonal department, and Home Depot has a few lights out but that is all for now.
No snow on the mountains yet.

I wondered where that post had gone. I have only just read this Christmas thread.
I thought they had only just got rid of all the reduced Christmas stock from last year.
For the poor store workers it a pity Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas doesn't have reusable stock. I mean Turkeys can be used at Christmas and Thanksgiving, why can't stollen?

There is no such thing as surplus stollen, like the fruitcakes, after New Year's they reduce the price and sell everything on the shelves within a day and don't order more until next season. Like the paska Easter bread I loved so much, loaded with butter and eggs and baked in cylindrical loaves in tin cans - but only once a year. Deny it for 50 weeks of the year, add a few religion myths to sex it up a little and people will go crazy for it. Don't do that and it's turkeys, and the only thing special about turkeys is that they're half price on holidays.
