puts my back up against the wall

i have to know when people start getting ready for christmas, because i want to make myself feel a little better. i'm not about to say when i start getting ready for christmas, though, until i hear what others have to say, because that way i'll know if i'm crazy or not. so tell me, when do you start getting ready? do you start right when halloween is over on november first? or some point in november before thanksgiving? or after thanksgiving? because this is a big debate between me and some of my loved ones, and i got to know who else is on my side here and who else is either as crazy as i am, or worse than i am.
