Christmas decorations already?

I have noticed every Christmas that stores have been setting up their displays earlier and earlier every year but now it's getting absurd! 3 days before Halloween a well known retail store had cleared there Halloween isle and started decorating with Christmas trees. I couldn't believe my eyes! Now, people are putting up there Christmas lights before it's even Thanksgiving! Isn't it a golden rule that you don't decorate for one holiday before another? Same as you don't wear white after Labor day, or are those days long gone?
We have decided to put our tree up Thanksgiving weekend because it suits our family best. Marc will be home all weekend which is rare and I want to take the kids pictures under the tree so I can make my greeting cards..I think that is legit, right? Anything before that seems a bit premature in my opinion!
For all of those reading who have already started decorating, I apologize but maybe I don't want time to fly by that fast yet!
Update time: Jenna is loving basketball! I am shocked because I would have passed her off more as a bookworm than a "sportsy" girl but she counts down the days until practice and can't wait for her first game which is December 6th!
Kane has both top teeth poking sharply through. I must say he did quite well with this round of teeth, no fever, no night waking etc. So I can't complain! He is our best eater of the family..today he had eggs, toast, OJ and cereal for breakfast. Marc laughs because he says for our next one I will have a T.V. dinner waiting when she arrives home from the hospital!
Pregnancy- going on 20 1/2 weeks already. I don't feel big yet but think I am carrying more "wide" this time! I am wearing pregnancy jeans but really could still pull off regular pants. Maybe it's just me but I don't think people can quite tell yet and I sometimes catch people glance at my stomach as if I have ingested an alien. They can't tell if I have gained alot of weight or if it's possible that "the girl who just had a baby is pregnant again!"
Ok well I am trying to get on more so hopefully I can start to keep up more now that Kane is starting to amuse himself for longer periods of time!

Girl, I was in BJ's and Lowes on September 30th and they both had all their Christmas decorations up! I was like what the heck it's still month before halloween! It's so crazy how they start earlier and earlier each year.
