A couple of weeks ago, I went into a department store and encountered three large Christmas trees at the entrance. Beautiful to look at and it did give me a warm and cozy feeling when I saw them. A couple of weeks ago was early October so it just seemed a little soon to be breaking out the Christmas decor. It seems like when I was a kid that stuff didn't go up until after Halloween, but maybe my memory is not working right.
In light of the store getting into the spirit of the holidays, allow me to do a shameless self promotion in this blog post and talk about two holiday reads that you may not have heard of from me. The first is called Thanksgiving Protector. There aren't that many books where this holiday is featured so I think the book is unique in that way. It is book one in the Texas Ranger Series with the other two books having a Christmas theme. The book features border patrol agent Kylie Perry who adopts a baby girl when an informant Kylie working with and dearly loved is murdered. Kylie teams up with Texas Ranger Austin Rivers to track down the informant's killer.
I would love to win print copy of your books!! 😁
ReplyDeleteNo I don’t like Christmas decor put out in October. I think it should be one holiday at a time.
Doesn't really matter to me. chicowill57@aol.com

Christmas Hostage sounds good. I don’t like Christmas decor put out in October. I would love to win a print copy of this book.
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas, but I think the stores putting out the X-mas decor before Halloween is a bit premature, it does feel too commercial to me.

Too commercial for me. I prefer one holiday at a time and Thanksgiving is first. watts.vickie@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIt feels too early. I want to give Thanksgiving its due so I prefer to wait until after Thanksgiving. cherierj(at)yahoo(dot)com

DeleteI remember when Christmas decorations did nit appear until the day after Thanksgiving.. I hate the Christmas creep which is getting earlier and earlier. No need to enter me in the drawing.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn’t bother me when they put it out at this time. I love Christmas decorations. I will be putting up my Christmas tree in a few weeks.

Decorating for Christmas is way to early. When I was a kid, Christas decorations weren't seen anywhere, even stores, until after Thanksgiving. It gave a person a chance to enjoy each holiday as it happened that way. First they bypassed Thanksgiving and now even Halloween. While I LOVE reading Christmas stories all year round because they do remind us of the reason for the season and bring out the humanity in people during the holidays, I'd rather keep my reminders in the books and not on display. I've even seen Christmas yard displays while driving down the road. WAY TOO EARLY!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for the chance to win a copy of CHRISTMAS HOSTAGE! Would love to read and review it. Like I said it's never too early to read Christmas stories. :)

Not entering the giveaway because I already have this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. I agree that it is too early for Christmas decor before Halloween. I am fine with it being in the stores before Thanksgiving since many people decorate right after Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas but I think the stores put out the decorations way too early. When I was growing up they didn’t put out decorations until Thanksgiving lindadashhendersonat.att.net
ReplyDeleteI decorate for Christmas in October! I love it!! Bowiehouse@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI remember when Christmas did not go up until November. I feel like it is too commercial. In some ways, I can understand the push this year with the rising costs of everything. They are trying to allow families to stretch out their budget for gifts. We do not get out in stores much. We were in a Meijer two weeks ago. There were all kinds of Halloween costumes, candy and decorations. They also had a lot of toys out for Christmas. dpruss@prodigy.net
