Deep South Decorations for Christmas

Unfortunately, the deep South doesn’t get snow very often. But that doesn’t keep Southerners from going all out with decorations for Christmas. In fact, Christmas decorating in the South often starts before Halloween.

Maybe it’s the same everywhere, but here in the South you start seeing Christmas decorations in the stores not long after the back-to-school sales are over. You might even find some stores that have Halloween decorations, Thanksgiving decorations, and Christmas decorations separated only by an aisle. Yep, you can take care of all of your holiday decorating needs at one time and at one store.
