Decorations going up earlier in my neighborhood, started a few weeks ago.
Too early for my tastes , used to start after Thanksgiving - after Macy's Santa finished the parade. Personally , I think the lights should be strung in December, as pretty as they are to look at, not a week after Halloween.

And to further illustrate my old school values- I have no problem with waiting til Black Friday for shopping. Not fond of people leaving the dinner table on Thursday to get a deal on the latest gadget at Target. Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday- so why not just stay home from work and keep away from block long shopping lines - and give thanks, relish the good company around you, and enjoy the day!
