Well yesterday afternoon in the mid 90s with glorious sunshine I was browsing in Wal*Mart and amongst rows and rows of Halloween gear there were the Xmas decorations.............oh only a few weeks to go.

I am loving looking in the garage at our lawn and roof ornaments and counting the days til our Xmas trip so I can light up the neighbourhood.

Yeah when it comes to Xmas I transform[xmas1][xmas2][xmas1][xmas2] into a 6 year old!

I noticed that a couple of weeks ago and noone would let me bring home one of the new 8' inflatables:(

There were 2 I liked, one with the Carousel rotating inside and one with a Christmas tree rotating. At $90 I thought they were quite good value.

Yep the xmas cards and some decs are out in the shops here too :D

I just love all the xmas decorations - if we were arriving before xmas I would be going nuts lighting up the street but as we only arrive boxing day it is a little less as my MC puts the decs up for me [xmas2]

Now - must start writing my list and start the shopping [xmas1]

We came home from Florida at the beginning of September and went down to Tesco....and found the seasonal aisle with Christmas decorations, cards, wrapping paper, Christmas chocolates and Puddings etc. Next door in M&S they had cards and decorations..............[xmas1]

I always thought that too early, but my friend from Dubai is over this week and at least she can take back the advent calenders, cards and Xmas choccies, so she will be pleased!!

We got out of 'doing' Christmas for a while...we were always traveling Christmas time...I'll have to do a lot more this year for my grandson...he just loves the scarecrows I have in the garden right now...so he is going to love Halloween this year...I always go overboard for that.....[msnsmile]

Keep the sunshining in FL CV...this time tomorrow I'll be on my way...

Thanks for that Jacqui. I had a quick look and there is one o n there that would do nicely. As we don't arrive until Christmas Eve we need something really quick to put up.
