Christmas time?

We have just started seeing tv commercials for Christmas and while in town I saw that some of the streets had lights up between buildings.

 

And these Santa decorations were on display in the local post shop. Is it too early for Christmas?

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's signs.

As I do not do well with Christmas, I dread this time of year. Sooner or later a depression will be set off.

Way too early for Christmas! But it happens every year, and is the same here.

Unfortunately it's not too early for Xmas. I wish our Xmas could be simpler but with grandchildren that's not going to happen. All this early hype does give me a nudge to think about presents and get myself slowly into Xmas mode . Have to make pickled onions and a cake and think about cards

Definitely too early...and mostly too tacky as well!

Lucky you are rather late. Here it goes on since September...

Too early but might as well embrace it and have fun. That's my thoughts. :)

I've seen Christmas decorations in stores at Halloween, which is way too early. I don't like to think about Christmas until after our Thanksgiving holiday, the last Thursday in November. But then if you want things to arrive by Christmas, I guess you have to plan early.

I'm already in the Christmas spirit :-)

Sometimes I wish we could just skip Christmas. Don't worry, I'll get into it.

I like your street photo. I don´t celebrate X-mas per se. But every time it seems to start earlier and earlier.

Maybe shops need to start early to capture early shoppers but I saw a house decorated and lit up this week. It seemed weird.

Not too early. I need all the time I can get. I need longer days. I'm curious: are your schools off for the summer? I'm just pondering the holidays/school calendar thing.

It can be tough maintaining the spirit for a long build up only to gind Xmas is actuslly a damp squib. Some of the best christmases we have ever had have been impromptu last minute arrangements shared with displaced friends and neighbours with no family gathering to join.

I noticed Christmas decorations in our own neighborhood. Lights are on already outside. I saw a Santa Claus in a front window display in one house. Betcha it is to get the lights up before it gets too cold here. November has been in the 50s and 60s and 70s. Now the temperatures dropped to 30s and 40s.

  This has been one of the early buildings in Westport from the 1870s that is still being used for the local newspaper, so much old Victoria...
