No sooner is one festival over than the next one begins, Christmas decorations are finally being taken down and stores are now getting ready for Valentine's Day.
Good try, Rebecca. But you used a comma splice (which is incorrect).
Here is a possible solution:
No sooner is one festival over than the next one begins: just as Christmas decorations are finally being taken down, stores are getting ready for Valentine’s Day.
Notice how the colon is used to introduce a clause that clarifies the first claim.
Notice also how the sentences are adjusted to fit into the new sentence and not merely glued together with a conjunction.
