Very early here in Sweden, they usually waits until late November and I still think that is too early :-)<br /><br />I really can't understand the anger about those Starbuck cups???

That said, I tend to languish in a Holiday once it's up, sad to take it all down and move on to the next. But, I do Enjoy the Energy of those who in Retail make the Magic happen so fast, I know that buyers want to buy early so they can have ample time to put it all up and Enjoy it and if you wait too late to bring in your merchandise that is Seasonal, you often have it still sitting there or have to deeply discount it. My Showrooms only have a small Christmas Village Scene at the Antique Mall I have Space at, that's all I could concentrate on since I was Enjoying Halloween, Dia de los Muertos Celebrations and look forward to Thanksgiving and the Autumn Vibe a bit longer. Having just Moved it's been difficult to also Decorate for the Holidays properly since I've had so much to do moving in to our New Dream Home and getting our Old Historic Property cleared out and readied for Sale. I do Hope your Thanksgiving goes as you envisioned... most of our Adult Children and Grandchildren don't live Locally anymore, but we still try to Welcome anyone who might be able to join us for the Holidays.

Keep in mind that people come in looking for hand made Christmas items early to get the first pick of a limited number of available items. I'm not so big about tripping over Santa in the stores during the Halloween season, though!Lois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-38969885107980678362015-11-12T16:21:31.167-05:002015-11-12T16:21:31.167-05:00I dislike seeing the Christmas decorations in the ...I dislike seeing the Christmas decorations in the stores until after Thanksgiving. That said, I do my own shopping all year. I have children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren that I want to give gifts. If I buy a little at a time my budget is not so strained. Plus then I can mail all the packages right after Thanksgiving.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-80243411006879233742015-11-12T15:58:51.879-05:002015-11-12T15:58:51.879-05:00Christmas music in the malls are one thing that ke...Christmas music in the malls are one thing that keeps me out of the malls, and unfortunately now it'll really get started big time.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-79768610287715390622015-11-12T14:48:08.544-05:002015-11-12T14:48:08.544-05:00It doesn't bother me in the least....early dec...It doesn't bother me in the least....early decorations, Christmas music, Santa at the mall in November. I just LOVE Christmas! <br />Thanksgiving Day still has meaning for me and I certainly don't want to skip over it. I wouldn't go shopping that day, though. (But do confess to buying online early in the morning once or twice...)<br />The Red Starbucks cup....I love a peppermint mocha in a red cup once in a while. Never noticed the cup had designs on it! No kidding. <br />Happy Thanksgiving to you!
