It always bewilders me how people feel the need to celebrate Christmas for over a month. They put the decorations up in November, take them down as late as February in some cases. Sometimes they get left up all year round.
WHY?
There is absolutely no need. Do we celebrate Halloween from September to December? No. I saw some public decorations up on about the 20th of November this year, and though "Jeez...what's the need?" - I got home and lo and behold, my next door neighbour had lights on one of their garden trees.
I think decorations should only be allowed at maximum a fortnight before and a fortnight after (still totalling a month, remember), because there's just no point to having them up longer. Christmas is one day. As far as I'm concerned, the world would be a better place if people asked themselves "Why?" a lot more often.

We put ours up today
I love putting them up and we usually do it the week-end before the 12th, as 12th is usually during week and there's not that much spare time.
You miserable lot you

Its just because its something that everyone looks forward to. Still putting them up before its 12 days till christmas is bad luck.

They start 'advertising' Christmas in October.
In January there'll be Easter Eggs in the shops.
And next September they'll be selling fireworks for Guy Fawks night.
I think there should be a law against it myself.
Shops should only sell Easter Eggs at the beginning of April, and they should be taken off the shelves after Easter.
Fireworks should only go on sale on November 1st, and be gone again on November 6th. And no sales to anyone under 21.
