It's days before Halloween, but shoppers who walked into Perimeter Mall from the 80-degree weather outside Friday may have passed some whimsical Christmas decorations.

The display window at Alter'd State was filled with a Christmas tree, statues of snow-white owls and snowflake garlands.

In Macy's, an employee was heard directing other employees attempting to install a giant gold ornament for ceiling decorations.

So, the question is: are you ready for Christmas?
