I thought in the US you all waited till after Thanksgiving. Imagine having to put up with all that clutter for 8 or so weeks. LOve Joan.
It all starts too soon spoiling it ,I feel ,by the time it gets here everyone is fed up with it ..love Jan xx
I HATE that. I saw Christmas stuff in K-mart while shopping for Halloween costumes last month. What is the rush, really?
Merry Christmas, happy New Year!
Too early if you ask me! LOL
Missie
OMG, hanging them, I can understand, but turning them on NOW, is way too much. These will be the folks who most likely won't take them down till April/May. lol
Cindy
LOL Reminds me of this song by Gretchen Wilson (2nd verse) it's called "Redneck Woman" .... Hugz, Teresa

Well I ain't never
Been the barbie doll type
No I can't swig that sweet champagne
I'd rather drink beer all night
In a tavern or in a honky tonk
Or on a 4 wheel drive tailgate
I've got posters on my wall of Skynard, Kid and Strait
Some people look down on me
But I don't give a rip
I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby on my hip
Cause I'm a redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw"
And I keep my Christmas lights on, on my front porch all year long
And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song
So here's to all my sisters out there keepin' it country
Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah
Hell Yeah
Victoria's Secret
Well their stuff's real nice
Oh but I can buy the same damn thing on a Wal*Mart shelf half price
And still look sexy
Just as sexy
As those models on TV
No I don't need no designer tag to make my man want me
You might think I'm trashy
A little too hard core
But get in my neck of the woods
I'm just the girl next door
i asked Rick to hang ours on the porch at least this weekend or it wont get done this year. We'll see if that happens.
Love,lisa
Crazy people!

You are right one up all up.It's the same here Lynn.I agree with Jan comment,by the time Christmas comes along you are sick to death of seeing them all.I think many who put theres up early here, have very small children ,who cannot wait.I know my 6yr old Grandaughter has been nagging her mummy now for about two weeks, to put the tCristmas Tree up He-He..Maybe in there tiny minds,they think Santa will come sooner .Who Knows.LOL!! Take Care God Bless Kath

I wish I could put mine up this early, but my husband won't let me! lol I LOVE Christmas and celebrating the birth of Christ, but, alas, I am destined to wait until AFTER thanksgiving.
lol
God Bless you!

Geezzzzz! It's not like we are going to get snow and not be able to get those lights up. It'll be interesting to see if those people set up a really big display this year. I love driving around looking at the lights in the neighborhoods....but not this early!
Bethe
All the stores & shops on the town square have their decorations up....I know of 2 people that have their tree's up too....GEEZ!!!! COME ON..we haven't even had turkey yet.
Michele
oh my god, im dreading draging all that stuff outta me shed, ooh the spiders, yuk! Beckie x
oh my god, im dreading draging all that stuff outta me shed, ooh the spiders, yuk! Beckie x
We have actually been pondering putting them up this weekend (but not turning them on) so we are not putting them up in freezing temps or snow. :) Hubby decided against it. :) It just didn't seem right to put them up this early.
Gillie
It's too early. We'll get sick of them WAY before Xmas arrives!
Pam
yep!!! its a contest....on our old street, we watched every year to see who would get theirs up first.....my cousin put her up on Halloween night one year after all the trick or treaters were done........lol
oh I love love love Christmas
but not before Thanksgiving
all things in good time
Love
Marti
It's not too bad if they put them up while the weather is a bit warmer..But I'm guessing that they had them on...lol..It's too early even for me......
Sheri
I love Christmas ~ but even I think it is too early to put decorations up ~ a friend of ours received her first Christmas card over two weeks ago now that is early ISN'T IT !!!! ~ and it was posted in England :o)
Lyn I enjoyed reading your meme from you last entry ~ Ally x
GASP!! Oh, I would probably have ours up already too, but my son's b-day comes on Dec 6th, so we've made the decision that Christmas does NOT happen in any way before J's birthday...
Happy Holidays to you and yours!! ha ha ha Not too early for the greetings is it?!
xoxo MeMeadow
OMFG, YA GOTTA BE KIDDING??????????? Actually, I saw some the other night, but then I wasn't sure if it was Divali Or Christmas ;-)
Gaz xxxx

I know, they are popping up here also and our garden center had a big Christmas tree display open house. Yikes. I am not ready!
Julie
Whn I read "Guess what I saw " I thought you were going to say Crocodile or something!!! LOL.Yes. . its too friggin early. Once one lot goes up though they all follow. . .and I do like to see them.
My Dad used to leave them up when I was a kid & pretend they were Easter eggs. ~Mary
I'm a kid at heart and absolutely love Christmas. But it's way too early for lights yet. I still believe you should at the very least wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving. (Hugs) Indigo
omg already christmas lights.
Before long they will be putting them up as they are shooting off fireworks for July 4th. Way to early for me. Have a nice weekend.
Allison
How sad. We can't even enjoy Fall and the coming of Thanksgiving~Before the Christmas lights and trees go up! My gosh we live in such a microwave world. So depressing. People need to slow down smell the seasons and appreciate each one.
I went to Wal Mart's several nights ago and as soon as you walk in the doors there you see it....a 7 foot tree with white lights!
Sounds like a lot of people are annoyed at how fast people are moving through the seasons.
Well, try and have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings~Donna
Too early for those things. Tell them to take them down. Those are the types that leave them up until February or March too. LOL
Phil
I expect to see them after this long weekend.... Have a great one!!
Joann
Traditionally I think you're suppose to put up the lights and Christmas stuff after Thanksgiving. Yeah its too soon to be putting up the lights now. People need to slow down and enjoy the fall weather and the Thanksgiving holiday before we jump into Christmas
Oh, I do love Christmas, but even I would not put up the lights this early! haha. I know some people who don't even bother to take them down!

This last month we've been delivering catalogues for Christmas 2008!
Have a good weekend.

I LOVE Christmas!!! LOL It's that time.... We even have some fools who put out Xmas lights for Halloween and then they take down the orange and black stuff and leave up the red and white and green and blue lights and just add the Xmas stuff. Hugs,
Lisa
Hey!! Thanks so so much for your kind comments on my blog today. It really helps to know that all of you are out there and giving me lots of love and support. Im 42 - I did have all my hormones checked last year - they think I might be having early menopause. Im still feeling down - what a day!! Laine xxxxx
Hmm...it seems like Christmas starts earlier every year! I have been trying to decide about decorations this year! Hope everything is going good for ya. Hey you have to send me your phone number again......had to get a new phone and lost alot of numbers because the old one wouldnt turn on to transfer numbers. Ugh!! Have a great day!!
Hugs
Carrie

WOW I cant believe how close we are to Christmas already. It seems like it just happened. I even heard a Christmas song the other day and had to turn the radio up because I was like 'you got to be kidding me'. Hugggs, Robin
YIKES! One of our neighbors was seen yesterday putting out their christmas decorations. A tad early I think....
Hugs,
Gretchen
