4. One of our neighbors put up a string of lights over a week ago.

WTF is up with that? :shrug:

5. I can understand putting them up while the weather holds, it's lighting

them I don't get.

8. Well, I'm in NC, so the "weather holding" isn't really an issue.

And they're just around his front door, anyway; it's not like
he had to ascend his roof or anything.


Maybe it's only a coincidence that he put them up just
when everyone was breaking out the pumpkins and spiderwebs,
but it does make me kinda wonder if maybe he's one of those
crazed fundies who thinks Hallowe'en is a tool of Satan,
knowhutImean?

9. Some people just get antsy, I guess.

The way I was raised, Christmas was Christmas and Advent was Advent, which means that I try to put off decorating until the last minute and I look out of place because my decorations stay up until after January 6

6. I heard them in September

at Garden Ridge.

I doubt I will be going back.

7. I for one am happy

It happens with all the big times (back to school, Halloween, Easter, etc.) I happen to be a Christmas person, so I get an early preview of everything. :hi:
