It's a rule in Canada, that obvious Christmas moves, such as decorating and /or playing Christmas carols, are eschewed until the day after Remembrance Day. Stores' practise of displaying Christmas merchandise is acceptable, as long as they aren't going full-out Christmas. Do you agree with this rule? Yes
