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!
We don't have any Christmas stuff here yet...apart from in the Christmas Tree shops...I've just put up the harvest home and fall decorations...then Halloween...then welcome winter..then I'll think about Christmas...[msneek][msneek]
Xmas is never far from my mind Chrizzy!:D

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!!

Is this because you live close to Salem and they are homing witches? :D
We need to order a christmas tree because we are arriving late on Christmas Eve. We really want a pre decorated one that can be delivered any ideas where we can order one from ?

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.
Glad to be of service Pamela[xmas2]
