Christmas In September? Some Montana Stores Are Already Ho, Ho, Ho-ing

I was out shopping with my wife yesterday and I noticed something. There are a few stores that always have their Christmas displays up. Now, I understand that snow can fall this time of year here in Montana, but Christmas already? Really?

I'm not going to lie, it did make me smile as I thought about the Holidays and all the joy they bring. Then I realized that school started just a couple of weeks ago.

Let me say that you would be hard pressed to find a bigger Christmas junkie than me. I love the stuff. In fact, in the Wolf house, we decorate for Christmas on November 1st. We put up the tree, the lights, the nativity set, and the rather large Santa collection that I've added to over the years. We also have other decorations that we put up, and to be honest, it's a big job.

Having said all of that, I think it might be just a bit early to put up Christmas stuff already. Listen, I'm not one of those folks who thinks you have to wait until after Halloween, but I mean, we're still in September.

When it is ok to put out Christmas Decorations in Montana?

I get it, Christmas is a big money maker and I understand that it's hard out there for retail, but I mean, there has to be some thought into this right? I know there are those that buy all year long as far as gifts go, but decoration? Is anyone actually buying Christmas stuff this time of year?
