The CK Daily – Is it time to decorate for Christmas?
Happy Friday, folks! November is here, and it’s time to start thinking about…Christmas! I’m not talking about presents or food, but decorations. Is it too early to put out Christmas decorations? I don’t think so!
Over dinner last night, our family discussed when we should put them out. We decided the sooner, the better, which means this will be a Saturday morning event at our house. I love the feeling of seeing Christmas decorations out everywhere!
I ran across an NBC post where you can vote. It seems the votes are split evenly between it’s never too early to decorate, and you should wait till after Thanksgiving. So what do you think? Is it too early to put out Christmas decorations?
Have a great weekend!
Chris

When you need to repair or replace electronic equipment, compatibility is everything. You could get a replacement that looks absolutely right in the pictures, but when you try to use it, something goes wrong.
In order to ensure compatibility, the best option is usually to match part numbers. That way, you don’t have to worry about what looks right; the manufacturer is telling you what does and doesn’t match.
