When do you start decorating for Christmas?
« on: November 23, 2018, 12:19:15 pm »
Day after Thanksgiving seems to be the go-to, but we aren't feeling like it quite yet. December 1 feels more like it.

Some neighbors have had their lights up for a couple weeks already. I mind my own business but privately I feel rushed lol

The weekend after Thanksgiving is when I do my holiday decorating.  I don't decorate outside so it doesn't take too long to put up my Christmas tree and hang my Christmas wreaths.  :santa: :santa: :santa: :santa:

Started the outside today since it was 50 degrees in the Midwest today. Will finish it up tomorrow and start on the inside on Monday.

That is my parents job in my house. I am just not a holiday person too much. My mom has this big giant snowman collection that she puts out every year. :snowman:

:turkey:   :snowman:   :turkey:  I try to wait till closer to Christmas, just cause I like to leave the tree up after the New Year, for like most of January. I still get plenty of Christmas lighting for the year. Thanksgiving has it's own Holiday.  :turkey:   :snowman:   :turkey:

I usually start on Thanks Giving day. I like to put up the tree and decorate while I am cooking. This year I am putting it up after. I am not into the holiday spirit that much this year.

I never feel like decorating on the day after Thanksgiving.  I'm usually still recovering from all the cleaning and cooking that has gone on in the previous week, but this year I'm actually thinking about dragging the tree out and getting a head start. Our official "Thanksgiving" is always the day AFTER Thanksgiving, in order for our kids to get to spend time with spouses' relatives on the official day.  I, too, was shocked, upon walking in the neighborhood a couple of weeks ago, and seeing all the Christmas decorations appearing in peoples' houses, even before Thanksgiving had arrived.
