Seniors

...because, even when I was a teenager, I can remember some stores putting up their decorations a full three months (September 25th) before Christmas. By the time I was in my early twenties and living in Los Angeles, it was more like mid-September.

Granted, those were the stores. Private homes tended to decorate later. And, to be fair, in our own neighborhood (in a fairly secular region where lots of people don't decorate, period) it was pretty common to see the lights go up the day after Thanksgiving. This is the first year when I've started seeing more than just a few people put theirs up around two weeks before Thanksgiving. I can only wonder if it's a coincidence that this seems to have occurred just after the election was called for Biden.
