Every MALL I go. It started last September and as the days passed by, more and more decors can be seen and bought. You can hear the Christmas carols as well in their centralized music system. This happens here because we don't usually celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving.

We don' have malls in my area anymore. But Walmart always starts decorating for Christmas way too early, in my opinion. They put up Christmas decorations around the time Halloween rolls around. Walmart burned me out on holidays years ago. I'm still not interested in decorating for holidays anymore.

@rakski Next time you and the kids come over, remind me and I'll give you boxes of electronic Christmas decorations. It all still worked fine when I boxed it all up around 15 years ago.

I toned down in my decorating since last year. I was so busy and got no time to decorate.

Do people get tired of it? I always wanted more than just one month to celebrate Christmas here, but most people do refrain from Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving. I would love to hear Christmas music for a couple months instead of less than four weeks.

Our stores have alot of autumn, Thanksgiving and Halloween items on the shelves, but they are slowing introducing the Christmas things too. They will not play Christmas music until about a month before the holiday.

There are no Malls here where I live, it's a very small town. I have not yet seen Christmas items on the shelves of the stores.

We usually start in September. Just the feel of it. Many people start decorating in September and the malls have Christmas decorations on display already
