I think there should be no christmas activity until 1st Dec. By the time the Big Day comes I have had enough tinsel and christmas tunes. My festive spirit has long since evaporated.
There is a string of houses I pass on the way to work that always has elaborate decorations (life size sleigh and reindeer, etc.) Theirs are up already. I understand it takes them a few weekends to assemble all that but it's just too early!
This is especially egregious in the States because, to me, it discounts Thanksgiving altogether. Instead of a day of thanks, it's just a speedbump on the way to Santa's Big Day, a trial run for the main event.

By law you have to wait until after Thanksgiving. And if the law doesn't actually state that, then it should.
