I absolutely refuse to decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving. Oh, I'll be up bright and early on black Friday decorating, but not a day before.

I love the Christmas season, but sadly Thanksgiving hardly exists anymore. We go straight from Halloween to Christmas, and it's a shame. I love Thanksgiving, and always celebrate it cheerfully before heading into the Christmas season. I love being at my parents' house, and my dad putting on the Christmas music on Thanksgiving day, but it doesn't play one day earlier in their house....Thanksgiving day is the first day he'll play any Christmas music.

We were at our mall last night (10/30), and it was in full Christmas decor. Sorry, but that's ridiculous. It's only Halloween today, and there were trees and garland up yesterday.

Too many people have forgotten what Christmas really is, and have turned it into a materialistic holiday. Shameful.

Sunday I was in Walgreens and they already started to change out the Halloween Isle and it was already 1/3 Christmas Stuff.

I noticed that @ Walmart yesterday too and Sat. I was helping the kids w/ costumes and the garden center which had the halloween stuff had been transformed to Christmas.

Never too early to be in the Christmas spirit! Its one of the only times 99% of the population are in a good, cheerful mood. Why not extend that?

Unfortunately, working in mental health I know that's not true. It's a very sad and lonely time for many ppl. But it's a lovely thought and I wish it were true!

It is NOT the Christmas season until the end of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, when Santa Clause makes his appearance.

I was teasing my dd this morning as I was putting out more Halloween stuff for tonight and told her I was pumped to get the
I do think that the craft stores have the right to go early since you need the stuff beforehand but only them
