It’s early September, and what do I see? Halloween decorations. Sounds like some businesses are very enthusiastic about Halloween to be decorating this early. Not even out of summer yet. Well, I made this video a couple days ago about how businesses in Japan tend to decorate for Halloween far earlier than they need to. Keep in mind that the business I show is an opticians and they don’t have a special Halloween sale going on.
Now, this video isn’t just me talking about Halloween decorations. You’ll want to watch to the end, because I had a rather creepy encounter.
I sure didn’t expect that.
Oooooh! 🙂
The Christmas decorations have started going up here on November 1st too, if not earlier.
That’s just too early, though I can understand why for Christmas. Need to advertise those sales. But when I was a kid, Christmas decorations never went up before November 11th. That time was reserved for poppies.
Exactly! Now the parade is often before December 1st. What happened to freezing our butts off?
haha
There’s a parade?
For Christmas? Of course.
That’s different. None around Edmonton that I know of. But there is one at Tokyo Disneyland on Christmas Day.
Hey, part of my novel takes place in Edmonton. I may request of you at some point an interview in the name of research, if you don’t mind. I’d mention you in my acknowledgements, of course. And you may even get a cookie. 😀
Sure, I’d be happy to help. Any questions you have, send them my way.
