I was in my Katowice in the afternoon and I took a photo of the huge Christmas tree in front of the railway station.
When I was a small child I remember as we decorated our Christmas tree one or two days before Christmas. But currently we live in the commercial world so we decorate it much earlier.
Still one month to go but ok, commercialy it is already Christmas.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,

Defiinitely you are right
DeleteOh wow! A Christmas tree up already?! Here in the U.S. everyone is supposed to wait until Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, for Christmas decorating and shopping; but unfortunately, not everyone adheres to that "rule." We often hear Christmas music playing in stores much earlier, and end up listening to Christmas songs till we just about can't take in anymore. Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell rock, jingle bell chime, in jingle bell time ohh no! My brain is not quite ready for having Christmas songs playing in it for the next 2 months!
ReplyDeleteBethany It is world of 21st century the business is the most important
DeleteA bit too early. I wish they would wait until December at least.
ReplyDeleteAndrew now they always decorate in November...
DeleteA bit early, but so pretty.
ReplyDeleteCynthia, you are right but the city looks multicoloured and people love it
DeleteThe commercialism of Christmas is "over the top".
ReplyDeleteWith the shocking and unbelievable slaughter in Paris 24 hours ago,
should make us think - Christmas is a time of joy but now what joy for
so far the people of France - who will be next? Vigilance is the order of the
day unfortunately now. I am sure I am about the only one on a rail station
which is underground who watches everything - yet people are engrossed
in their "phones".
I honestly feel that Europe has got a crisis of proportions unheard of since
the end of WW2. It is so tragic - we should stand in solidarity with the people
of France and say - "JE SUIS FRANCAIS".
Who / where will be next?

ReplyDeleteAs early as September, Christmas vibe is already felt in my part of the world. Rather early. But Christmas is happiness and sadly though commercialism too. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteI really like that tree!
