Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Shops are beginning to fill with Christmas items... the first TV adverts with sleighbells and snowflakes have started appearing... but who will be first to spot Real Christmas Decorations at a private house? Surely it can only be any day now?

Karma to the first posted pic of real 2010 house Christmas decorations!

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Damn, private houses only?? The local fancy dress town has had it's decorations up and lit since last week. Does that count for anything?

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Nothing should go up before remembrance day in my opinion.

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Swiss Chalet has the "festive special" on the menu already. I was tempted, but I agree with Tangram that Rememberance day should be past at least before getting into the Festive season. I think my Santa Clause parade season starts on the 19th Nov, but there might be one before then:eek:

After Thanksgiving keeps it to a reasonable duration.

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Obviously you mean U.S. Thanksgiving.:sneaky:

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

"Proper" thanksgiving, not "local" thanksgiving presumably.

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Harvest Festival?

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Starbucks coffee this morning in festive cup

Lights are up on a house on 14th st in North Calgary, were lit up on Monday at 6.45am when we drove by.

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Chavtastic!

Pics please...

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

I've got my small artificial tree up in the flat - the missus got it out from under the stairs at the same time as putting Halloween stuff away. No pictures though :p

Haven't 'turned the lights on' yet though, other than to test them. Have already got a christmas present though to give to the lady's mum - the earliest I've ever possesed such an item!

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Starbucks in downtown TO this morning, had decorated Christmas stockings on the wall, and staff dressed in either elf or santa fancy dress outfits. Wrong. So very wrong :thumbdown:

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

NO picture - yet, but saw the first fully decked out Xmas house on Tuesday!!!!!!

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

My girls were trick-or-treating on Sunday and one of the houses in our road is fully decorated with candy canes going up the stairs and a tree up.

(Sorry, no photos).

Wrong!

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

There is a house just outside Aberdeen here in Scotland, that has the full works already!! :huh:

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

I saw a house near me yesterday with decorations out the front - a snowman and a reindeer - it was day time so not sure if they are switching them on at night to light up. Sorry, alas no pics.

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

can't believe some seen already AND i love xmas:blink:

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

I now work in the Country Cupboard downtown Red Deer, I have been coming home all glittery for two weeks. We have decorated umpteen trees and some deccies are downright scary. Christmas tree days are Fri and Sat this week all decs are 20% off if anyone is around. I do have an urge to put my own tree up but am already sick of Bing crooning out the carols.

Out of interest how many of you use tinsel on your tree?

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

What happened to Eddie Bauer?

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Still there too, wasn't getting enough hours, yet another management change and I'm sick of listening to Jim Whittaker reach the top (of Mount Everest) on the video loop, so my friend who bought Country Cupboard asked me at the right time this time to go and work for her, so I decided yes but kept on at Eddie Bauer just in case it didn't work out at CC and will probably quit one (EB) after the Jan Feb slump, there are never any hours in retail after Christmas so hours get less and less, by having two jobs I should get something and to be frank the extra money I'm getting working two jobs just takes the pressure off two lots of winter bills:eek:

Really I want to get out of retail - atm an assembly line sounds good as long as there is no one to smile at and be nice too:rofl:

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Am soo with you - front desk at the gym - pfft _ am sooo not designed to be customer friendly !

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

We are starting to put our lights up here in uk, only because we have lots of booked out weekends before Christmas and thought OH would prefer to go climbing the trees now rather than in the snow ( which we have had before Christmas for the past 2 years ) We won't put them on yet though promise ;) I still want to know how he is going to put the star on the top of a huge Christmas tree in the paddock :rofl:

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Can't believe it but saw my first fully lit house this morning in wet & windy yorkshire:lol:

in traffic so no pics.

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Put some Christmas lights up yesterday. If it's good enough for the trees outside Central City, it's good enough for me :thumbup:

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Neighbours both sides put up their house lights yesterday. One side didn't light his, the other side did. The side that did had an amazing display last year so I think he's just getting started.:lol:

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Many households here have put up lights. But I haven't seen any on yet.
They were playing Christmas music in Super Store today.

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

saw my 1st lit house today :(

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

There are few houses which are decorated by designers (Holiday House tours) here in Peterborough, it is open to the public for viewing, but you must pay something like $25 to get in.

Anyway we only put up our decorations & tree 12 days before Christmas and leave it on till Epiphany (Jan 6)

Re: Christmas Tree Watch 2010
 

Part Christmas music at Eddie Bauer now - on the tv screen going around the stupid loop:thumbdown:
