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

I did think it was a little early.
 
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.
 
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 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!
 
Decorations can go up the day after Thanksgiving, no earlier. Decorations should come down New Year's Day or the day after.
