stock for this christmas was very probably ordered before last.
I start putting the lights up here in october, it time for the last weeks in november for the dickens night festival and switch on. The big contractor put there's up about two weeks prior to switch on here, but it can vary due to most towns switching theirs on about that time. One company, such as lumalite from Halifax can put up dozens of towns lights, and tehy can't do them all during the 3rd week of november. Same with taking them down.
I have to start early because I do everything myself, getting a 35kg 5ft x 10ft motif 20 odd feet up in the air on my own takes time. As does putting up 100 different motifs 100+ connections/plugs, over a mile of cable in about 150 different pieces.

No excuse for them being up at this time of year though unless they're left up all year
