When is it too early to put Holiday lights/decorations up?

They even made a sticker that says 'for god's sake, no christmasfuss before december 15th'. This has caused quite a stirr, many shopkeepers feel they are being targeted and are not happy! ;D
I agree though, 2 or 3 weeks of christmas is enough for me. We usually put up our christmas decorations and a tree, the first weekend after Sinterklaas, which is on december 6th.

Aww! Sinterklaas! I remember that holiday! I have lots and lots of happy memories of Sinterklaas and my Grandfather! :'( (This is a happy cry btw)

They've been running those damned Christmas ads on TV for the past two weeks! And the stores put their Christmas trees up in SEPTEMBER! I'm sick of Christmas already! >:(
Pretty soon they will be doing this whole Christmas deal year round, don't you think?

hey David. We still celebrate Sinterklaas even though my kids now 'know about Sinterklaas ;)'. Of course for us, it's just another excuse to have a big chocolate feast! :)
sorry to get a bit off topic here...

so tell me what Sinterklaas is then guys!

I went to NY last week and put up the lights outside my mother's house, just this past Sunday.
She tries -and fails-to have the whole house decorated by thanksgiving, except for the window and the tree downstairs. [ She has 4 trees]
I like to have the tree up here in Denver by Thanksgiving. If it's possible to have a tree this year [ we are having a lot of work done] it will be up by Thanksgiving, and it will be lit the day they light the tree in Rockefeller Center in NY
