Yep, guess we have to accept that it's coming, whether we like it or not.
They were pointing out (very kindly, Not ) on the radio this morning that its 2 months Friday til Christmas Day. Just about every store you go into has both Halloween and Christmas stuff out. The city I work in had their workers out last week and again this, putting all the lights on the trees.
A couple of the FB pages I'm linked to are the big Santa Claus parade in the main city near here and the Christmas Market in the same city. Both pages have started posting updates as the parade is on November 17th and the Christmas Market is November 29th to December 15th. And both these are on my son's list of things he wants to do. A couple of the big department stores downtown do window displays as well which he wants to go see, along with the light displays the various different sections of the city do.
I've also told him that he can help plan what decorations we put up outside the house this year, to go along with the string of lights H put up for us last week. We usually have several lighted figures on the front lawn, although last year H couldn't be bothered to do them so we didn't have anything other than the lights which hadn't been taken down from the previous year.
