Yeah, I hate how Christmas is forced on us earlier and earlier each year. Makes the actual day less special to.We live in a bah humbug neighborhood so no problem around the house but I absolutely hate that the retail outlets get Christmas stuff out before Halloween.

That's what I usually do too, I'm already going to freeze when I'm taking them down. Might as well at least be comfortable while putting them up. Mine aren't on though either, if it was up to my wife we'd have Christmas stuff up in the house on November 1st. Uh, not happening............Mine are up but not plugged in. It was 60 earlier in the week, will hardly be above freezing for the foreseeable future, so I took advantage of warm weather. I'll plug them in Thanksgiving night or the night after. I like to do it early because I'm usually gone Christmas week.
