how early can/should you start decorating for Christmas?

[meltdown75]

well whatever you do don't chirp your neighbours on facebook for decorating early. i did, and that night i got an email telling me to watch what i put on facebook. 0_0

i did my outside tree this past weekend - and i think it was the perfect time.

at least wait until Christmas is the NEXT holiday. So that means after 11/26.

I love Christmas decorations, especially paper ones. You know, the tissue paper bells, candy canes, Christmas trees. My mom kept all of us kids school artwork and Christmas decorations and put them up each year upstairs and down. I miss Christmas with the folks. We put them up after Thanksgiving and left them up through February.

I've always waited until at least the day after Thanksgiving.

In the past I've always decorated the weekend after Thanksgiving. This year, we've already decorated the inside but haven't turned the lights on yet. We'll be getting back from visiting family late on Sunday, and then I will have 16-hour days all next week, which would delay decorating the tree until two weekends after Christmas. We usually take our tree down on the day after Christmas.

we put up candy cane lights along our sidewalk over last weekend, but I really think the day after turkey day is the ideal time

I leave mine up all year long, that way it saves me a lot of time.

We put up our tree this weekend, right after we bought it. It's a massive 9' one.

The same day you start your shopping, December 24th.

I just put up some lights on the outside of the house over this past weekend.

Sucked since it was 40f out but wasn't that bad since I got some of those gutter clips and extension pole. No ladder this year!

I don't decorate for any holiday.

 

[Gillbot]

Not before Dec 1st IMHO.

curses, foiled again.

I should clarify, I don't decorate my house

Decorations can go up the day after Thanksgiving, no earlier. Decorations should come down New Year's Day or the day after.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

I just put mine up on Saturday.

If I had to give dates, I'd say any time after thanksgiving to mid January is okay.

Well, you still got me beat in terms of effort. I don't even decorate my avatar.
