Christmas Decorating: How early is too early?
I have a few friends who started decorating for Christmas the day after Halloween. I've been giving them a hard time, as I have always been one who waits until the weekend after Thanksgiving. One friend of mine who lives in Texas puts up 10 trees and decorates them all (which having more than one tree is a whole other subject), so she said she needs to get started early. Another friend decorates the inside of her home throughout the month of November, but waits until the weekend after Thanksgiving to decorate outside. Certain stores even start selling trees and decorations before Halloween nowadays.
So, what how early do think is too early? |

Although I agree with the weekend of/after Thanksgiving. I don't think the weekend before Thanksgiving as too early. Any time before mid-November, including around Halloween is too early. I saw stores that had Christmas in September. Ridiculous!!

In our bedroom, we keep a 4 foot, fully decorated Christmas tree up all year round. Provides just the right lighting for that area, and she loves to look at the sentimental ornaments. ( that, and I'm too lazy to take it down, hehe )
Whatever makes folks happy, really. I'd say anything prior to December feels too early for outside lights or a big ass living room tree.. but whatever floats your boats, go nuts.

My dad used to get drunk, take a piss on the tree, and then stumble face first into the tree.. knocking it over. Happened every year at different points of December. Ah... Good times.

appreciate that.. long ago though.. no problem.
Sucked to be so young to learn that Santa was merely my drunk, soiled father.. Santa trunks still down to his ankles.. face buried into the fallen tree.. bag with one shitty toy flipped over.. on Christmas morning. Learned early that it was better to laugh than to cry... ![]()

Any time before Thanksgiving is over is too soon. Black Friday at the earliest. Let Thanksgiving have it's day.

I am almost done with the outside. I just have to swap out my blow up turkey for a blow up LED christmas tree and hang an LED snow flake.
BUT- I was figuring there would be the possibility of snow on the roof by now. Not have 3 weeks of 60's. It has been one of the best autumns ever. I am in Minnesota. Many times we have snow at Thanksgiving. I am not interested being on the roof with snow on it. I don't turn them on until Friday of T-giving weekend. The comment from Lew says it all. We do not do the inside until Friday of TG. My last thread about lights http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showt...ristmas+lights
