Really? Gosh Not that ornaments and such aren't already appearing in our retail stores her in the US -- prior to Halloween in some stores, for gosh sakes. Guess it's a personal thing, but I sort of cringe when I see seasonal decorations up weeks before the holiday. I usually start doing a bit of holiday decorating the week of the holiday and mostly don't trim the tree until the day before THE day. Of course, procrastination over non-essentials may have a bit to do with that LOL
