I understand trying to get things up on nice days and I understand shopping centers and stores needing to get things up as it takes time to do so.

When I ran a small gaming hobby store I would not allow the decorations to go up until the week of Thanksgiving and really wanted them to wait until afterwards, but there just wasn't time or staff to get it all done and service the customers over the after Thanksgiving weekend.

I do remember staying one Christmas Eve late to reset displays after we closed, but then that was during my divorce and there was no where to go that night anyway.
