Blue Monday - Isn't it too soon for Christmas?

Welcome! It's Blue Monday!

I sure hope everyone understands that this is a Monday only meme. In addition, your post must have Blue. It helps if you tell us about your Blue.

For complete instructions, just click here.

Be sure to visit other Blue participants by clicking on their links and wishing them a Happy Blue Monday!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was in an Old Time Pottery store a couple of weeks ago and noticed that their shelves are loaded with Christmas stuff! Of course, I particularly noticed the Blue items and started snap, snapping away.

Here's a cute door mat.




Blue snow globes





Look at these Blue lighted houses.




There were many more Blue Christmas items to see, but a nice man asked me not to take pictures, so I stopped shooting. I suppose he thought I was a SPY(!) or something.

At the time, I hadn't even bought my Halloween candy! Isn't it too soon for Christmas?

    Happy Blue Monday Sally. I am one of those grouches who thinks the stores should wait until after Thanksgiving to fill the shelves with Christmas Cheer :) In the last few years its been even before Halloween and I'm always astonished. I suppose it must really make a difference in retail, else why would they do it?
    It is cute though.

    Sally so glad you are feeling well enough to be out and about clicking blues. Yes, it is definitely too early for Christmas as far as I am concerned. They do not let us enjoy one holiday before they start on another.

    Yes, it IS too soon for Christmas. I cannot remember which store, but one of the big high end department stores has put out notice that it is not decorating for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, as it thinks that each holiday should be celebrated without another stepping on its toes.
    What bliss!

    Thanks for coming by Sally. The flowers on the cake are closer to purple but hopefully that is close to blue. And then the one below is blue. I am amazed too at all the christmas out. Just too soon! It takes away from the specialness of the Holiday to me.

    Hi, Sally... I am kind of glad some of the Christmas things are out because I got so tired last year, running around at the eleventh hour, that I'm sure that's how I got worn down and eventually got sick. So I'm trying to do things ahead of time this year.

    Hope you're feeling better.

    Love you...
