They just can't get those christmas decorations down fast enough. They will be pushing Valentines day before January. Really sad.

Considering most of the stores seemed to start decorating for Christmas the day before Halloween, I’m not sure it makes a big difference how relevant the timing is.

Truthfully, no stores or homes in NYC are taking down Christmas decor at all as far as I can tell. Christmas is bigband it’s special and I’m not seeing any retreat from it at all. I do see the card store and Party City racks filling with Valentine merchandise, but Christmas is still very evident in those same stores.

Christmas is like planning a wedding. So many lists to make, finding the right gfits, planning menus. People get cranky, something is forgotten, the caterer had to cancel, my outfit makes me look fat, or the right flower wasn't in stock. Everybody's in tears.

But the day has finally arrived and believe it or not everything goes off without a hitch. All the stressing for nothing. Made it!! We all like each other again and look forward to next year.

I love the Christmas holiday. Sure, there's a lot of planning and work with it but also a lot of joy for me. I realize not everyone enjoys the time and their reasons are their own and justified but I sure like it.

Time to start filling that gift closet now for Valentine's Day.

The countdown will soon be on!

Remember when we were kids and Christmas couldn't get here fast enough? It seemed an eternity until it arrived.

Fast forward to adulthood. The days in December fly by...I feel like the hourglass of days is turned upside down and the sand is slipping through ever...so....fast...and I'm stressing through all the wrapping, buying, baking, decorating, cooking, cooking, did I say cooking? I know I'm getting older and crankier, because every year now, it stresses me more!!!

Christmas is what you make of it. What stores or other people do have no impact on what I do.

QVC starts with Christmas in July. The sctich goes on and on from July to December. I can't wait until January. I am sick of Christmas on QVC. I don't even enjoy the decorations anymore. Too, too much.

My Granddaughter is what gives me joy at Christmas....

She helps me do my Christmas Village.....we bake cookies and then excitement telling me what he Elf did overnight!!

I attended her Christmas concert and the little kids singing was so special.

There is nothing like Christmas through the eyes of a child

@GCR18 That is so true.

QVC is taking their decorations down? This is Q Talk, so I'm assuming that's who you mean. I'm watching it now, and there's a tree and other decorations in the background. I can't imagine they'd be taking them down before Christmas.

I love Christmas. It's my favorite time of the year.

This as been one of the most magical and special Christmas' I have ever had so far and we are still a few days away. Blessings every aspect of my life and with all my loved ones. Some years are just brighter than others but that is the way of life for any holiday or even on any day of the week in our crazy world. I so love the happiness on so many faces I see out and about.

@olive oyl

I know what you mean....last year I was in a store and it wasn't even Christmas Eve yet, but they had already put out Valentine cards....Then people wonder why everyone is so stressed out all the time. I wish there was a way that people would just take time to relax and enjoy all the seasons/holidays without rushing them along....Time flies so quickly as it is.............

Each day is what you make it and whether you choose to make Christmas too hectic and unenjoyable with expectations set too high that's up to you since you make the decision on how to spend the time and the day...If you hate it because of your own personal reasons, then at least find something to do that brings you a smile..........

Personally I LOVE Christmas and I think our family/friends have gotten over "the gift thing" and are on to other things regarding the Christmas season---the faith aspect of the holiday, the joyful spirit, the decorations, the lights, the music, and spending time together and doing something special for others that are alone or in need.......

If you HATE Christmas (or think its too commercialized) and can't wait for it to be over that's up to you. And if you enjoy it--then a MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU-Enjoy!

Christmas is ONE DAY. A very important day, yes. Why does QVC devote 6 months, 7 if you include Christmas clearance a year to it? ENOUGH!

hate to tell this folks---but starting right after july 4th---retail gets ALL the upcoming holidays in the doors. I worked retail for 12 yers and we got it all July 5th--helloween, t-day, xmas, new years and all the other ones for the new year. I saw the helloween stuff from Aug thru November as it was up somewhere in the store. Not a fan of holidays at all!!!!
