How early is too early?

It isn't even Thanksgiving yet, and the Christmas decorations are already plastered around the city. Most notably the Union Square area, near our apartment. The tree is already up, and there were multiple cranes loading people up to decorate it last week. It is even weirder to see all this considering the heat wave San Francisco has had for the last week or so. While we are sleeping with windows wide open and fans blowing, Starbucks cups are the holiday season red and Victorias Secret mannequins sport santa hats. It's very strange. To be truthful, this is the time of year I miss the east coast. The Fall weather, leaves changing color and blowing in the wind. Pumpkins on porches and the smell of snow in the air. It's quite magical. Perhaps over time, San Francisco will reveal new nostalgic traits, but for now I simply feel like I'm in a holiday season movie.
