you've had your first Gingerbread Latte of the season. When do you know Christmas is coming?
When you see QVC Christmas store in July
When the local ice cream shop starts selling candy cane ice cream.
When you walk into Macy's and immediately get claustrophobia from all the decorations!
I couldn't believe that "How the Grich Stole Christmas" was on TV last night. Whatever happened to waiting a month before X-mas to freak out and overexpose the holiday?
Ah gingerbread lattes, how do I love thee....
When you walk into the mall and there's Santa's Village, already set up.
It sickens me... Bath and Body Works almost blinded me with their flashy white light christmas tree poster.

For me, it's the change in the weather. One day, it's a warm fall day, the next day, it feels like winter.
...when that Santa M&Ms commercial comes on.
This might just be me:
But when it starts to get chillier at night time, and you drive in your car around 6ish and everything is dark, and there is that wintery smell and feeling. No..?
It just reminds me of Christmas.
Stop it. All of you! Can't we wait until Thanksgiving is over?
When you walk into the mall in early November and a store is playing Christmas music.
I almost walked out in protest, but I alreay had a giftcard. And I didn't buy a sweater, or a sparkly "holiday" shirt, or a scarf. I bought a belt (plain black with studs, no snowflakes).

When you go into the home section of Marks and Spencer and get assaulted by scented holiday paraphenalia. That was weeks ago. My poor nose.
I know its Christmas is coming when:
It is getting darker earlier and there is that chill in the air,
When it's a Friday afternoon in Manhattan and the department stores are mobbed
And when all of the lights are put up in Manhattan.
I actually had a "Christmas is so soon" moment the other day with my mom. We were on the west side having dinner, and we went shopping, and there was just that feel and I got so happy. Then we went home and had hot chocolate :)
the other day i went into starbucks and it was completely decorated with holiday decorations. I was like they skipped a holiday, hulloo.. we need to show some thanksgiving love :)
When I buy my plane tickets to visit my family.

I am sorry to say that I know Christmas is coming when it is not yet Halloween and the Christmas decorations are going up in a number of stores in Manhattan.
When one is Christmas starts-around-December-20th-and-ends-on December-27th kind of guy, it is very disheartening to see the merchandising of Christmas happening sooner and sooner every year.
I won't even go into a store until December 23rd.
This thread should be put on ice until after December 15th.
