When is it too early to decorate for Christmas?

[inluvwitmm]

Too early is before Thanksgiving. I think if you really want to decorate, put up some Thanksgiving decorations...if you don't do Thanksgiving, up out some Autumn/Fall decorations.

I really don't like that most stores already have Christmas stuff out and Christmas music playing. I get sick of the music before December and it makes it really difficult to do some last minute shopping when I can't stand to walk into the mall lol

Thanksgiving...no.  Start after Holloween.  Enjoy it!!!

DevinNMcCraw their is nothing wrong with decorating early if it gives your mother extra joy. Hope mom gets to feeling better soon.  I decorate when i'm off for the last 17 years have worked rotating schedule, so I do decorate when the mood strikes me.

To be safe, I wait until after Thanksgiving.  Or at least until the first snow fall.

Up here in MN many of my neighbors start putting up the lights outside towards the end of Oct. while the weather is still warm enough not to need heavy gloves (some even just leave the lights up year-round). They usually don't turn on the lights until into Dec., and the indoor decorations go up after Thanksgiving or even in Dec. Although this year it's been pretty mild so I think everyone is waiting till after Thanksgiving (if possible).

LMAO...my husband and I were just talking about this because our neighbor put her decorations up already!  Don't get me wrong...Christmas is one of my FAVORITE holidays and I LOVE to decorate for it...but before Thanksgiving is too early in my opinion...but that is the best part of this world...you are FREE to do whatever you want!!!  We have a tradition...after Thanksgiving Dinner (and a good rest) we start putting up some small decorations...and continue the rest through the week...

It is never too early!
Since we don't celebrate Thanksgiving I put them up that day.

I know some that put them up the day after halloween.

I think after Thanksgiving is the standard unwritten rule. Unless you're a store, then basically before we even hit Halloween you start to see Christmas Decorations. My sister's birthday is in early December and when we were kids, we had to wait until after that...now that was hard!

Hello, it's funny because it reminds me of my home country. We usually start decorating for Christmas on the month with BER! so September we start putting Christmas tree and some Christmas stuff and when I got here I was so excited and I told my hubby, hey lets decorate for Christmas. He looks at me funny and said how about after the Thanksgiving? And I was sad and start telling him how I grew up doing like that and just suddenly stopped when I got here. (I did not know how important Thanksgiving and since he explained it to me then I understand.) and sometime in October he went to the garage and start grabbing the Christmas stuff and he told me, hey how about lets put them on today??? lol I was so excited and happy and I told him how about the Thanksgiving? then he said, it's okay..Next year we will put the Christmas tree after Thanksgiving

Just sharing guys

Living on Christmas Tree Lane means it's always time to decorate for Christmas.

I guess it's not too early because some stores have been selling xmas things since oct.

If my family decorates for Christmas we usually do it right after Thanksgiving. However, there are a lot of my friends and family that already have all their decorations up. I am also seeing more light displays outside of houses now too, I think that is beacause the weather has been nice so they want to get them up. But for the past several years my family hasn't decorated
