Going to the mall on Friday made me aware that the holiday season is open for business. I only stayed in one little section of the mall but there were holiday signs everywhere.
This tree with the oversized Christmas lights was just inside the door of the Coach store.
This tiny little glass Christmas tree was in the window of the Swarovski store. It goes nicely with the little glass Christmas presents on the right.
I didn't venture into the main part of the mall so I probably missed a major portion of the decorations. I'm sure I'll see plenty more decorations before the season ends.
This just seems like madness. I thought the Christmas season began after Thanksgiving? But I'm seeing the same thing here -- some of my neighbors down the street have their Christmas stuff out already. (Of course England doesn't do Thanksgiving so there's not that natural "barrier" the way there historically has been in the USA.)
ReplyDeleteShiny baubles - always a thoughtful gift.
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving does get glossed over. I bought a Swarovski bauble for my granddaughter for her first Christmas.
ReplyDeleteIt feels way to early for Christmas decorations, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteThe magic of Christmas is lost when the decorations appear this early. It's the same here. It's all about spending these days.
