Not I.

I really don't do much of that.Sometimes , if we think of it, Christmas lights & the little tree my mom forced on me.

She decorated early & that's what cured me of it.

Do you leave your Christmas lights on all year, rather than waste energy taking them down?

Yes! Some houses have their lights up already and it’s always fun to drive by on the way to school! I have to find some kid safe decorating options to give V so she can doctorate her toy kitchen for her toy cats to enjoy 🀣πŸ₯°

Hubby and I went to a Christmas bazaar to our favorite booth. He bought several more items, even though our attic will result in a "Christmas only" estate sale when we die, probably doubling the value of our estate. He put them out immediately, stating that it didn't make sense to put them in the attic when Christmas is only a few weeks away. I call him "Clark Griswold." We've already watched 3 Christmas movies.

December 15th is soon enough. My daughter has a birthday at the beginning of December so we were never allowed until we took her birthday cards down. She will be 34 next, so it’s stuck as the rule. πŸ€”

Hey, it isn't even Thanksgiving yet, but neighbors down the road have their lights up, candy striped the posts on their porch, and have the inflatable Santa and Snowman in their yard. Me? Haven't done anything except my Christmas shopping since U.S. mail is still slow and everything must be mailed or bought on line and delivered one way or another.

Jesmcd2CommunityAmbassador in reply to goatgal

Yup, my neighbors have their inflatables up! They have disabled boys tho, Im pretty sure that has a lot to do with it. And my shopping is pretty much done! πŸ˜‚πŸ€—πŸ’•πŸŒ

Our family tradition is I keep all the kids on Black Friday while the crazy sisters go shopping. The kids and I decorate for Christmas, bake and watch Christmas movies.

I haven't but it doesn't bother me if others put theirs up early. I also don't mind Christmas music playing before Thanksgiving either. But I have always been easy going so it takes a lot to get me worked up. I figure if they are really that into Christmas go for it, it doesn't interfere with anything I am doing πŸŽ„ Plus I haven't had the energy or motivation to decorate my house so seeing others is nice.Be on the look out for Valentine's day stuff in stores no later than Jan 2 🀣

Agreed about the valentine stuff ahrogers !πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ Ever holiday comes earlier and earlier every year... Wonder what they are going to do when they just can't go back anymore?πŸ€” Start selling Christmas stuff in February? πŸ˜”πŸ€£πŸ€—πŸ’•πŸŒ

After reading all the comments, I’m a little scared to post this.😬I’m a lover of Christmas so nothing pertaining to Christmas is ever too early for me. We have started our decorating because we put lights on almost everything outside and it takes a while. So we start early and do what we can, whenever we can. Time passes by so quickly and there’s so much work that goes into decorating, we start any time after Halloween. We get a real tree every year so we don’t get it until the places start selling them. They’re always fresh cut Fraser firs so as soon as the stores have them, we buy ours and go ahead and get it in water. I LOVE Christmas! For many reasons. And I want to be able to enjoy all my decorations for as long as I can. Entirely too much work for only a couple weeks.

Please don't ever be scared to post here!πŸ˜‚ I love Christmas to! You will have to post a pic of your lights for us!!! I love real trees! But now I have a realistic fake one πŸ˜‚ . I do have pine trees that I get branches from tho! Love the smell!πŸŒ²πŸŽ„πŸ€—πŸ’•πŸŒ

Not. For many years we did nothing and that was fine with me. Finally my husband said he wanted a little tree. (We'd given our big one to our daughter.) So I said, that's fine but you're doing the work. So he got a 3 or 4 foot tree that sits on a table. Once time is over he covers it in plastic and takes it to the basement so he doesn't have to take off the lights. The magic is gone for me and I'm a scrooge.

Last year before Thanksgiving I put an artificial tree in my garden. A friend was getting rid of it so I brought it home. My husband hooked up electricity to it so I could put lights on it. I didn't decorate it other than lights. My husband thought I was nuts putting an artificial tree in a garden that sits next to the national forest. Every one that came to hour house that year loved my artificial tree! I'm doing it again this year & I adding wreaths on the banisters of our handicap ramp. This will all be after Thanksgiving as I am a believer that Christmas has it's own season & should not infringe on the other holidays.
