It seems the last trick-or-treater had barely left the driveway when local retailers rolled out all of their Christmas items.

Santa has set up shop for photos at several locations around the area, and many local retailers are advertising holiday and Black Friday sales and deals.

Even though Thanksgiving isn't until next week, the holiday shopping is well underway. 

What do you think about all of this holiday madness? Is now the perfect time to start your holiday shopping? Or do you wait a few weeks? 

Are you planning wait in line for stores to open on Black Friday? Or do you wait for the sales on Cyber Monday?
