TOO EARLY FOR CHRISTMAS!!!

[Del Murder]

We live in California where there is no Autumn. So we can only get it in retail stores.

Ahhh. Yeah, Montana's Autumn is pretty short. It's gorgeous and beautiful when it's there, but it only lasts like... October, and that's it. Summer goes right through September and Winter usually starts early November.

[Psychotic]

Thanksgiving doesn't exist here so I have no gauge, sorry

[Shorty]

When I worked at Sears, Christmas decorations went up September 1st.

We put my tree up weeks ago because we were drunk and it sounded like a good idea /shrug

This. This is how you should be living your lives.

I dislike how advertisers in general begin pimping Christmas as early as possible (K-Mart was advertising Christmas as early as September) and wish we could get through the other holidays leading up to Christmas first, but I don't care if a family somewhere has Christmas lights or a tree up ahead of time. No one in this family does any celebrating or Christmas shopping until it hits the month of December.

[Jinx]

Yeah, I don't mind stuff being in stores early, but I rolled my eyes when I saw a Christmas commercial in October. That's just silly!

[RocketMBA]

I have to say, this is more of an American phenomenon than a British one. In between animated adverts for anti-depressants and some sort of advert for a $20,000 monster truck three times the size that is necessary, watching American television meant that I saw a LOT of Christmas adverts in October. Then again, I was only watching NBC, ABC, and some other acronyms. Over here you just get the ASDA adverts sometime in November.

You know what pisses me off? People in my store whining about how it's too early for us to sell Christmas stuff and then they're buying some smurfing Christmas tree shaped yogurt pretzels or some trout like that. No! If you whine you don't get tree pretzels or egg nog or toys or anything nice until December

[Shlup]

I started Christmas shopping in August this year, but the decorations don't come out until the day after Thanksgiving.

[Night Fury]

Oh God. I'm so so so sooooooo smurfing excited for Christmas. This is me on Christmas...



I pretty much am Buddy the Elf. I love Christmas. The food, the cooking, the getting gifts, the giving gifts, the getting cosy and Christmasy. Oh god I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

We're probably going to get our tree this week and put it up December 1st. I chose a silver and blue colour scheme this year, and I'm going all out! Philip doesn't really share my Christmas enthusiasm, but then he's never had a white Christmas so why would he? I just can't wait!!!!!!!!!

This will be my first Christmas tree I've bought and done myself in my own home with my boyfriend. OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS TOGETHER EEEEEEEEK!

I can't wait to have kids, because when I do the whole Christmas season will be about crafts and making cookies and decorations. Omg!

[Madame Adequate]

Yeah like a month before Christmas is good. I like the hard limit the Americans have with Thanksgiving though, it's a pretty sensibly drawn line that gives a good amount of Christmas time fun without it getting silly.

Meanwhile in England we start seeing that stuff before Halloween has even gone.

Christmas is great though, it's super comfy and fun times

[Psychotic]

That's not true, Huxley. We have a whole week of fireworks first, and then we get hit with the Christmas typhoon.

I just took my halloween decorations down yesterday. I'm a bit behind. I'm going to have to rethink my christmas tree this year since I now have two cats. My neighbors put christmas lights up the day after halloween so here I am with a pumpkin on my door next to lights and wreaths. Wtf you couldn't even wait until mid nov? You didn't even let halloween rest a day before you went onto the next holiday? skipping turkey day completely? Ugh.
