I feel your pain man. The town I live in is far from classy, I expect to see christmas decorations within the next 2 weeks.

Shops should start sorting shit out mid november, people should be getting it late november/start of december. No eariler, I saw a shop selling advent calendars today, my second thought was "fuck off it's september" (my first thought was "OMG Top Gear advent calendar with Stig facts!!!!111)
It should be around mid November when the Christmas stuff starts getting put out, although there is that one shop in London that sells Christmas stuff all year round
Do you have one of those stupid new badges that says "I like dancing" or whatever they allow you to put on them?Timelord91 said:
Our Xmas stuff went out on September 1st.
I think the issue is simple: People currently need to start purchasing gifts and stockpiling stuff this early due to "the Christmas rush". Or, at least, marketing executives think so.
I do think it is ridiculous however. Wait until after Halloween, when the pies might actually last until Christmas, and you're not losing seasonal marketing space.

Mid November is a good start. But you know what would be even better? If they didn't gut the holiday for what it means and turn it into a massive consumer fest. I expect a few fatalities during Black Friday.
Anyway for those who keep your decorations up, if it's something small like a string of lights that doesn't draw attention and can easily go unnoticed then I'd understand as it's a pain to take them down. But if it's a giant Santa sign then take it down. It should be down the day after Boxing Day at the very latest.
