What is it in your mind that makes it officially the holiday season?

• Is it a flip of the calendar?
• It is a specific date to start the countdown – 100 days to go.
• Is it the end of the day on Thanksgiving when you can start shopping for deals?
• Is it the weather changing?
• Is it that one song you hear on the radio?
  • Or the station starting to play all of their holiday music (and nothing else)?

Or, is it a blend of things that mark, officially, the holiday season for you each year? Share your thoughts and what makes it so significant.
