Went shopping to The Range in Shrewsbury yesterday, the staff were getting the Christmas decorations out. Is this the first sighting of the year?

When Will They?

So If Scotland Says Yes, Will Be There A Referendum As To The Queen Of Scotland?

No. Lots of shops round here seem to have got their Christmas decorations/card on display. (I noticed that 'Card Factory' was full of Christmas cards when I went in on the Saturday before last).

Further, someone posted here nearly two months ago to say that seen Christmas cards already on display - in a cathedral!

A garden centre near us had wrapping paper and cards out last week. Felt like making a complaint.

Christmas decorations/novelties/lights etc. are available all year round - the only reason the shops don't display all year is space.

Last year we went to Fortnum & Mason's huge Christmas display in August. We didn't go this year but I expect it's there again

I saw Christmas cards in a card shop in Manchester weeks ago when it was still August!

No.

There have been Christmas stuff out round here for a good month.

My OH has started to ask for Easter Eggs :)

The Range is notorious. They always have their Christmas decorations (as opposed to Christmas stock, which IMO is acceptable and understandable) up clashing with the Hallowe'en ones (which are no doubt also due up any day now).
What amuses me about these places is that come close of play on Christmas Eve any sign of Christmas (bar the cheapo sell-off Christmas cards) is hastily buried to get everyone in "sale" mode
