Too early?

I am calling it as way too early on 20 October to have seen Christmas banners on light poles.  Seasons Greetings!  What?  We haven't even had Halloween yet - not that we're in America but there will be children going around the neighbourhood in their costumes in 11 days who do not even want to start thinking about Christmas yet ... or will they?   All this would be moot if we were all like pigs ... who are physically unable to lift their heads high enough to be able to look into the sky.  How sad would that be ... no Christmas banners, no clouds that look like anything, no moonrises ... no International Space Station - which is now the most expensive thing ever built at US$150 billion ... mind you, that was the 2010 total cost and they have kept spending on it since then!
