Bleh. I used to love Christmas music many years ago. Then stores started playing it in October. No one wants to hear "Frosty the Snowman" before the leaves have even turned! I can ignore the decorations, but the music gets into your head. And it's stupid, too, as I walk out of stores playing Christmas music too early, instead of staying and buying early presents. We had a cupcake tower at our wedding. The tower itself was a pretty white wooden (?) thing, not cardboard like above. I had my mom make our wedding cake, but since the package with the hall came with a bakery cake, we had them make cupcakes. People seemed to like them.

This year there were Christmas decorations in the mall on October 6th!! And they started decorating the downtown streets the week before Halloween. That is just so wrong.

Here in Houston, the decorations and foodstuffs go up a few days before Halloween. It's as though they're making a conscious effort to overcompensate for the fact that we don't have any sort of Christmas weather here: "Two extra months of Christmas, even at 85 degrees and 90% humidity! If that doesn't get you in the mood for the season, nothing will!" I feel your pain. Here in Houston, the decorations and foodstuffs go up a few days before Halloween.
