My daughter says stores near her in the UK already have decorations out to buy......

All I've seen of late is Halloween.

Yes, most of the shops here have started to display their Christmas Fayre, and we usually buy before the big crowds, but personally I love Christmas! with all the music, Hot Chestnuts, snow, but most of all to be surrounded by my loving family and see their smiling faces!

My neighbour has just put up his Christmas lights on the box privet. But then in Scotland, winter does start to set in around August.

I'm in a different house and have already started working out how I'm going to decorate for Christmas. I haven't purchased anything new yet.

We've been doing the same for presents, but still a bit early to be seeing trees and decorations out in the shops?

At least have Halloween out the way if you can't wait for Thanks Giving

Never too early, Bob.

We were in Costco yesterday and I guess I just hadn't noticed, but they had Christmas decorations as well. But there were Fall decorations and a very minimal amount of Halloween decorations too.

I am being 'made' to go home at Christmas so I am not buying anything new nor am I putting up a tree here. Will go home and enjoy the fruits of someone else's labour knowing that I won't have to take it all down when we get back !!

We put the Hallowe'en decorations up this morning! In September! I was shocked... never even had them at home...

But yeah, yesterday we were in Kohl's and they had the full Xmas section complete with Christmas songs playing!
