Christmas celebrations usually start early here. When September 1 strikes, it is normal to hear Christmas songs at the mall or other establishments. My hubby clicked this photo yesterday at one of the malls. The store's theme is fairy Christmas. Though it id nice, I think it is too early

All over the world, Christmas has been heavily camericalized. In a country that doesn't have Thanksgiving or really doesn't celebrate haloween, then this seems logical.

@rakski Not surprising. Haloween does tend to be a more universally reconized holiday, w whereas Thanksgiving is more an Americian thing.

It is way too early in my opinion too but I guess we'll be seeing them soon too. This year has gone so quickly that I think that, this year, I'll just leave mine up till the following year!

Time passes by quickly and I was thinking as well of not removing the Christmas decor all year round but the dust and all yes, I think it is too early too

True, I'm sure the malls are selling Halloween stuff but not as much as Christmas decorations

That’s far too early! 1st of December is early enough for me, but in the UK it’s usually forced on you straight after Halloween. The theory being that it cheers you up, but not me. Bah Humbug!

Our stores are loaded with Halloween stuff right now but I can see that they're getting ready to put out all the Christmas decorations. Christmas has been in the back of my mind but Sept 1 really is too early to start listening to Christmas music.

The fairy Christmas theme looks charming, though it does seem a bit early for the holiday season. Still, it’s fun to see festive cheer popping up so soon!
