Is this the first town to switch on their Christmas lights?

It’s now 124 days until Christmas and the BBC website is reporting that a Greater Manchetster town has put up their Christmas lights and will be progressively switching them on  as we get closer to Christmas. (See the full story on the BBC Website – click here.)   Is it me or is there something wrong with Christmas lights and Christmas decorations before we’ve finished the summer holidays, Halloween and Bonfire Night?  If you’ve got a view on this or you know of a town or shopping centre that’s got their Christmas lights and Christmas Decorations up early please let us know by leaving a comment below.
