Signs of Christmas 2011

All the shops here have Christmas stuff up along side the Halloween stuff..

Well, one thing is certain...the weather here is NOT a sign that Christmas is getting closer!!!

There is so much Halloween stuff out this year. It is now mainly costume items as opposed to decorations. There is Christmas stuff right next to it. Can't wait until Halloween though! Then boxes and boxes of Christmas items will hit the shelves!

Plently of Halloween stuff available, with SOME Christmas stuff available if you look in the right places :)

Nothing here.

I was in a card shop in the city yesterday,and it seemed like everyone was buying boxes of Christmas cards:snowman:

My Mum just bought me a selection box from Asda. Eating it now. :snowman:

Was in Walgreen's drug store today. They had all their Christmas stuff out - but it was all on the upper shelves - all over the store. CVS has out life size Santas for $80.

None of the stores here really have Christmas Stuff yet - but the Mall on the other side of town has apparently opened a Seasonal Christmas Store!!! I wish I could visit!

Also, my boyfriend was in NYC this week, and (knowing me so well) took this photo:

Our local newspaper is sponsoring a contest with 4 tickets as the prize to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Got my fingers crossed because it's just too pricey for me to buy 4 tickets right now!
