Maybe a Thanksgiving or Black Friday themed banner would be more relevant for this time of year? i.e. November 2017 not December 2017. Most shops would want you to think it was Christmas straight after Halloween but the truth is there is a gap for Bonfire Night (UK), Thanksgiving (U.S.), Children in Need (UK), the end of the Formula One season, the start of the Ashes (England vs Australia in the cricket) and many other things to get excited about before Jesus' birthday which is more than 1/12 of a year away at the moment! Do you start celebrating Easter in early March or the end of the school year a month before it happens? No, we all show restraint and wait for the event to ACTUALLY be here or at least be within a month of happening. It's just my opinion and I know a lot of people hate cold Autumn months in the northern hemisphere and have no problem wishing their life away but that's not me.
