They are in mine. Usually they're removed the day after, but this year every house has extended Halloween.
No complaints from me. Too early for Xmas and Thanksgiving.
Same in mine, everywhere I've been around my city lately has had Halloween decorations up. I like it, probably coz I'm also not ready for Christmas yet.
shareWhat's with those giant Jack Skellingtons? How do you even put that together?
Signed, million man.
Halloween decorations are mostly down in my area, now it’s back to normal.
Thanksgiving decorations are going up here this weekend but it’s really not a lot.
Christmas decorations and lights are a bit of work though🙄
There are a few houses still displaying items which could be classified as "autumn" decorations. Scarecrows, pumpkins, and the like are associated with the harvest season, which can be applied to both Halloween and Thanksgiving. One house down the street has a large inflatable turkey next to the driveway.
In general, Thanksgiving decorations are rare; things seem to go from Halloween directly to "Christmas," skipping over Thanksgiving Day. We shouldn't be hearing about "Christmas" before December 1.
Save the holiday season.
They're already showing Christmas movies and ads on TV. That only makes me grumpy and I quickly switch the channel.
I walked around today and still see mainly Halloween skeletons, ghosts, spiderweb, zombies and Jack-o'-lanterns. I see some plain faceless pumpkins and one house doing Thanksgiving complete with a turkey.
Christmas is a special time of year. We should not be seeing these ads, movies, decorations or hearing the music before December 1. All of this oversaturation trivializes and cheapens the holiday experience.
By the time December 25 arrives, everyone is so sick of all the hype, some of which has been going on since October. I was at the Home Depot on October 1 and they were already taking down the Halloween decorations in their seasonal section and unboxing "Christmas" stuff. I have actually heard people remark in mid-December that they will be glad when the holidays are over. How sad.
One thing I will never comprehend is the Hallmark Channel with it's "Christmas in July" programming. Who wants to watch "Christmas" movies during the middle of the miserable summer heat?
Save the holiday season.
A few are still up. I changed my decorations over to Thanksgiving last weekend.
