I LOVE Christmas and do plan ahead but I think that the stores having items this early in the year, when we're still surrounded by summer and back to school is a bit too much. And because we are building, then moving, the idea of Christmas is something right now I'm trying to keep out of my mind as the level of concentration needed to do this build well means I don't have capacity for other things to crowd my mind. I'll get excited for the season soon but not yet. Looks like you've got your plans underway. Great work!Chyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612160129616190092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420789516107092243.post-62681313274498905492014-08-16T10:31:22.224-07:002014-08-16T10:31:22.224-07:00I did my post this morning before reading yours - ...I did my post this morning before reading yours - honestly! I spotted the decorations in Costco too. There used to be year-round Christmas stores but I haven't spotted any for many years.

Our charity shop often has a few Christmacy items out on occasion, like cards or lights, but usually everything is kept in storage until after Halloween. That never bothers me but the speed at which the retail world seems to jump on Christmas is getting crazy. Years ago, the "rule" was that nothing would be out until after November 11th, our Remembrance Day. But now, it seems like any date is fine. I'm wondering if I'll be shopping for Easter goodies one day and will have a hard time because the Christmas items have taken over!!Chyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612160129616190092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420789516107092243.post-48727770501071467912014-08-15T23:28:49.690-07:002014-08-15T23:28:49.690-07:00Oh my goodness!
