Once the clock strikes midnight and November is finally here, Calgarians decide it's appropriate to take down their Halloween decorations and immediately replace them with light-up Santa Clauses, Reindeer Lawn Decor and Christmas lights. All the Christmas events begin and well, November might as well be Christmas Eve.
