Christmas Lights Preparation

We are in October, and the Christmas lights decoration is already being prepared around the town. Last night, while walking home, saw that the workers were hanging up the 'big birds' along via Garibaldi. I actually like it when they light up the Christmas lights on the streets, but to light them up in October does seem a bit early, and is incoherent with the thinking of cost saving for the town.
Or maybe they will just hang them up and light them up only on Christmas? Well, maybe light up for the whole week of Christmas.
Anyway, hi there, 'big birds'!
