They have to start early so they can clear their shelves, ready for the Easter stuff that's due in a few weeks' time....
The John Lewis in Edinburgh gets its Christmas stuff in towards the end of September. That's before I go on my summer holiday, for God's sake.
My local sandwich shop was playing 'Step into Christmas' this morning when I went to get my lunch. I know I was a little tired last night - but I didn't realise I had missed the whole of November. Only 18 shopping days 'til Christmas???

Seriously though it is blooming annoying. I can see why retail shops would want to start straight after the 'new autumn' lines are old - retail today is driven by seasons after all, but it drags the rest of the world with it, and makes us tired of the whole thing even before December starts.
