Merry Christmas

Mr. Snowman peeked out of the window of a candy shop.  

Merry Christmas!

 

Merry Christmas!

Deck the Halls!

 

All seasons?

I guess stores need to be prepared for all holidays.  I think September is a little early for Halloween, but Christmas is creeping in.

 

Merry Christmas!

Have a joyful holiday!

 

Christmas is coming!

Everybody's getting into the act.

 

Skip to Christmas

 

Costco seems to have skipped Halloween and Thanksgiving and gone straight to Christmas.  Isn't October a bit early?

Merry Christmas!

 

Merry Christmas!

Welcome to Raleigh at the Union train station.

Deck the halls...

Chalk art humor.

A deck of cards on the hall walls.

 

Christmas time already!

I found these last week in September!  Lowe's has all their Christmas decorations for sale already.  

Blow-up Yeti's, Snowmen (including Olaf), reindeer, light up Santa, and these little Christmas village buildings.  

What happened to Thanksgiving?

Merry Christmas

Nature's Christmas decorations can be better than anything we can light up, string up or set up.

Merry Christmas!

 

Feeding station

Along with the usual garden gnomes, the neighbors have added a feeding station for passing reindeer.

 

Deck the Halls

Holly is a native tree in North Carolina.  

 

Vintage?

I like this decoration, it seems like something out of  "Christmas Vacation", something that Clark Griswold would have blown up.  But it's probably a new retro model.

I do like how Santa has his face covering on.

 

Angel army

This band of Angels surrounds the North Raleigh United Methodist Church.  I didn't count but it looks like hundreds.

 

Is there a lawn at the North Pole?

I guess even Santa needs to mow his lawn...?

 

Merry Christmas!

Every year the neighbors decorate for Christmas, and every year the display gets bigger.  I think they've run out of room on their front lawn.

Christmas in the forest

I guess everyone is in the Christmas spirit.

A bit Early!

Costco is in the Christmas spirit already!  The decorations are up, and there are several aisles of toys.

What happened to Halloween and Thanksgiving???

Merry Christmas!

No, we aren't having a white Christmas, but we did have snow earlier in December.  Surely that counts.

What's wrong with a red Christmas tree?

There's been a lot of discussion about the White House's red Christmas trees, but I found this one in the airport in Spokane.  It's totally made up of poinsettias and looked amazing.
