Halloween Day and as we passed, I asked Ken to turn around; I "needed" this photo! Believe your eyes, here in Lunenburg County, The Balsam Fir Tree Capitol of the world, the first Christmas Trees are ready to be loaded and headed to the United States! These delightful men were hard at work, ready to load a truck with 14,000 trees as "the season" gets underway! I asked them to provide me with "A Vanna White"...they laughed, and this was the wonderful result!
Now you know what the Christmas Elves were doing while the little goblins were out collecting their Halloween candy!
if you can believe it, the stores around here are already in full gear for Christmas since end of august. 'ber' months is the start of Christmas holidays. but if you work out the whole store, you'd find a small nook with valentine stuff. great find, my lady, and very nice shot of the Christmas tree gents. aces!
@summerfield Because everyone is so aware that one holiday trips over another in the stores, I had to add this to the mix! These affable gents seemed to enjoy that we took an interest in their work!
If I was in charge of the world (lol), I'd ban everything Christmas until Dec 1st. Short and very sweet instead of being Christmas fatigued by the time the 25th actually arrives!!
Great happy photo - I wonder if the needles will drop, having be cut so early?
@hjbenson@wakelys@blightygal@joansmor@30pics4jackiesdiamond@jamibann@ludwigsdiana@danette@gardencat@ljmanning@summerfield Oh, my Friends, What a Great Laugh I had this morning, reading all your comments! Yes, a shocker, I know, and no *Look of Terror* on a Halloween pumpkin could have matched this *race toward the Christmas Holidays*! -Funny Face-, I'm with you...happy to wait until Advent and celebrate in a pared down, old-fashioned way. However, let's count our blessings as, in the coming months, we'll never be without a photo op if we need one! So, do you think I'm the first with a *Christmas Picture* this year on 365? Dubious Award, yes, I know! Sorry/Not Sorry!
Shops had Christmas decs up for a couple if weeks far too early!!
