I just found out that the Rockerfeller Christmas tree will be lit on November 30. November?!? It used to be lit in the first week of December! What the heck?

That's too soon. I seem to recall a few years ago when they lit it late in the season due to energy or electricity issues or something. I could have dreamt that though.

They cut that thing more than a week ago. It's what, 25-50 feet tall? How do they expect it to still be fresh when it actually is Christmas?

Right, and if it keeps backing up, sooner or later it will be in December again.

Lots of other stores have already started decorating for Christmas. It's too early.

Brent88 · 11-17-2004, 09:18 AM

Yeah... I heard that as well. It was lit on December 3rd last year.

Brian Damage · 11-17-2004, 11:14 AM

It's just like on tv, they are already airing Christmas comercials and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet.

Czas na Zywiec · 11-17-2004, 12:27 PM

I hate how commercialized this holiday has gotten.

To me, November 30th isn't that early. At least they had the respect to wait until after Rememberance Day.

My husband (The Infamous bat killer) put our Christmas lights up outside just after Halloween because the weather was so mild. Why wait to do it in 30 degree weather? But we do not turn the lights on until the day after Thanksgiving. For me that is the start of the Christmas season! I like to drag it out.

Pure genius! A few people I know have already started doing the same, but I haven't seen any Xmas lights yet, so we're good to go.

I was in a Kmart back in September and they had Xmas stuff up already! It was 90+ degrees outside that day, to boot.

Our local Meijer store takes down all the Christmas decorations and stuff 1 week before Christmas and replaces them with the Spring and Summer yard tools and lawnmowers.
They put Christmas stuff out before Halloween and then remove everything BEFORE Chriistmas! GEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the store I used to work at they had all of the Halloween stuff down the night of Halloween and had all of the Christmas stuff up the day after Halloween.
