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?

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

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.

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.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
