I’m getting the itch to put them up earlier this year. Usually, I put them up after Thanksgiving. However, I have 2 young kids and I’d like for them to be able to be really excited for more than just 30 days. Is putting them up this weekend or next too early?
When do you hang up your Christmas decorations?
its not exciting having x-mas
deco up for a long time.
if you cant wait,put it up end of
november . we
never put it up before december.
Wait till after Thanksgiving. My theory is, that if you have to dust them, then you put them up too early!
Makes sense to me!
i put ours up the Saturday after Thanksgiving and if you want them up go ahead and do it
i usually start the middle of november. . . . i have 9 trees to put up in our house. . one tree for each room which my husband rolls his eyes about. . LOL. . . and we put lights up on the roof, carport, trees outside. . . and alot more decorations inside. . . i can’t wait. . . the main tree in the living room gets put up after thanksgiving though. . .
I put up my Christmas decorations about a week after Thanksgiving. I like to savor the traditions of our uniquely American holiday for awhile before getting into the Christmas spirit.
I’m here in Canada, so our Thanksgiving is long over. I’m like you. . . I love putting them up early. I’ve collected alot of beautiful Christmas decorations over the years, and I take a good 4 hrs, if not more, to display them all and put up the tree. Since I have 5 cats here, plus two small little feral kittens, I think I’ll opt for putting the tree up about a week before Christmas. . . cause I know they are going to reak havoc on it. . . lol. . . All my other decorations will be going up within the next week or so. I love Christmas !!!
i hang Them up on my birthday which is the 9th of December but i know some people who already have theirs up so go for it
We have friends who start in September, they have so many to do. We start as soon as all the Halloween decorations are put away. Light up is Friday night after Thanksgiving, although some in our country area do light Thanksgiving night. Dec. 25th is the 1st Day of Christmas, keeping them lit until the 12th day of Christmas in January. (It’s an old fashioned tradition).
he most appropriate time would be after Thanksgiving. (let’s just do one holiday at a time). The day after Thanksgiving is considered the busiest day of the year for Holiday shopping because of the sales. My suggestion would be to do all the decorations after Thanksgiving–but not the tree. The tree–save it for the week before Christmas and take it down after New Year’s day. The tree swill still be fresh and full for Christmas. Even if you use an artificial tree you just might get tired of looking at it if you put it up too soon. Faye
on my birthday — december 8th — it’s a thing my mother started when i was a little girl and we have kept it up over the years mainly because Thanksgiving is getting looked over more and more
I usually wait untill like. . . . right after thanksgiving. After thanksgiving on Black Friday, i get presents. So i need somewhere to put them. So I beg my mom to put them up. Then we have them up for about a month!
I wait until after our little girl’s birthday, December 3rd, to start putting out the Christmas decorations. I want her birthday to be special, not looking like part of Christmas.
I usually start putting mine up the day after Thanksgiving, but I am also getting the itch to put them up early this year. Part of me thinks it’s too early, but another part of me is saying “hey, the stores had their stuff out 2 days before Halloween, so it can’t be too early”.
day after thanksgiving
1 week before christmas
December.
You should concentrate on doing Thanksgiving decorations.
Christmas decorations are all ready up in the store. . its totally silly.
I put my decorations up mid December and take them down mid January. It makes the whole house pretty especially in January
Every year I get comments like “decorating already?” when we put up lights in early November.
Now I don’t put anything up other than icicle lights or tree lights or other such ‘invisible’ things until the 2nd week of November.
Usually, all I have to do is say “wouldn’t you rather do it when the weather’s still nice” and they usually come back with “man that’s a good idea I should start mine. . . “
probably at the end of november
this weekend!!
I start on Nov 1. Your house, your rules. Doesn’t matter what anyone else does as long as it makes you happy.
The first week of December.
