How Early Is Too Early To Put Up Christmas Lights?

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Some people seem to be getting into the holiday spirit earlier and earlier each year. It's not even Thanksgiving yet, but lawns are already littered with Christmas decorations.

"Snowmen already, reindeer in the yard, lights up already," one woman said. "It's too early."

So how early is too early? Several people in Philadelphia had passionate responses to the question.

"Too early is like right now."

"You know, lets digest our turkey then do Christmas. You gotta think about it. You can't just go and skip Thanksgiving!"

"Give Thanksgiving a chance!"

"There is no reason for Christmas decorations, it's not even Thanksgiving yet!  Why do you want your electric bill to be so high like right now?"

Others say it's never too early to get into the holiday spirit.

"They call me the Christmas woman! I got lights on my lawn. I got over 1500 lights I put up."
