I am a huuuuge fan of Christmas, so I was trying to convince my partner to let me put this stuff up the day after Halloween which wasn’t acceptable, so I had to wait a few weeks. I do usually leave Xmas up until mid January, or even late.
Always been a fan of lights and Xmas music, even though right now dealing with bouts of depression; The lights always help me.
It’s never too early!!! 
Sorry to read that Travis, steam up an engine or two and do some vids....keep yourself busy mate. Hope it passes for you real soon. ATB
