When the calendar still reads “October” doesn’t that make it too early to put up Christmas decorations?

KMGH television station in Denver, Colorado dove into that deep and important question by speaking to people on multiple sides of the argument. Halloween lovers, lawn mega-decorators, holiday light companies, shoppers, store management, and regular people on the street all weighed in on this 360 look at when is too soon to start getting into the Christmas spirit.

Keep in mind, Christmas music on Denver radio won’t start until around Thanksgiving, according to KOSI-FM. But the program director did leave the possibility of the start date being moved up “with a big snowstorm.”
