An Old Time Christmas
« on: July 18, 2016, 04:51:34 PM »
As posted on social media today by SDC, they have officially started hanging lights for Christmas festival, which is 110 days away.

One thing I find interesting is that on the posts they out #159days, which is Christmas Eve. I wonder why they have a countdown to Christmas Eve, especially since they aren't even open.

It has to be weird for workers to start decorating for Christmas in July. You would think that even though they put up such a ridiculous amount of decorations, they could make it work so that they don't need to start hanging them 3.5 months in advance.

I had heard before that they started in August. But to see it begin in mid-July seems really early to me! Whatever it takes to make it all look amazing.

It's been mid July for the last several years, so no surprise to me.  It's a lot of lights they have to put up, and the way they do it takes a good amount of time.
