Too Soon For Halloween?

I read somewhere that Halloween represents the first of 3 giant steps toward winter, with the other 2 being Thanksgiving and Christmas. With that in mind, I was surprised while riding my bike home on viewtiful Tuesday afternoon to see a large Halloween display at 6th & Hattie. For some reason, it bothered me more than Christmas displays that are in full bloom in many retail stores as early as August. I don’t shop much. So the Christmas intrusion doesn’t bother me. But it’s hard to avoid seeing a large Halloween display in a nearby neighborhood. How about you?

Question: When should people erect large outdoor displays for Halloween?
