I think November 16th is too soon to be putting up Christmas decorations. Actually, even before Halloween this year I saw Christmas candy being sold in stores. Two apartments across the street from me already have those obnoxious blinking lights on their balconies. When I was driving to work today, I saw a strip mall with lights around all the roofs of the buildings. On one roof close to the middle they have a huge red bow. I'm sorry. I just think it's too soon to be putting up decorations. I think you should wait until Thanksgiving is over before you jump into the next holiday. And the only reason I like these holidays is because of the time off from work. I'm not even sure I'll put a tree this year. Over the last few years I've gotten over the whole holiday thing. I'm not religious. I don't hang out with my republican family much anymore. The holidays are wasted on people like me. Even if I decide to put a tree, I wouldn't do it until after Thanksgiving. It's just too soon to be decorating for a holiday that is more then a month away.
