[Jesmcd2]

Who has started to decorate already?🎄⛄🦌

🤗💕🌠

[Sandydemop]

This might be controversial but I think the day after thanksgiving is the first day to decorate. This year it was before halloween. what is that?

[Kenu in reply to Sandydemop]

Walmart is playing Xmas 🎄 music 🎼 🐾🐾

[Sandydemop in reply to Kenu]

doesn't that piss you off?

[Kenu in reply to Sandydemop]

Yes, it’s too early 😠

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Sandydemop]

Not controversial at all! I asked and was wondering what everyone was doing!😊 My oldest daughter decorated right after trick or treating!😐 She is a nut case!🤣😂 🤗💕🌠

[Sandydemop in reply to Jesmcd2]

not wanting to diagnose anyone...especially someone you love, but yeah.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Sandydemop]

I know right?😂🤣🤗💕🌠

[Amore55]

I am with Sandy. We always decorated the day after Thanksgiving!

[Sandydemop in reply to Amore55]

Amen sister

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Amore55]

That's when I would usually do it mà Amore55 🤣🤗💕🌠

[Amore55 in reply to Jesmcd2]

How are you doing, Jes?

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Amore55]

I'm taking it day by day, bout all I can do right now. Have to say I don't care for it tho!😂 How are you doing? 🤗💕🌠

[Amore55 in reply to Jesmcd2]

My foot is healing nicely. My pneumonia is under control. I have started driving using my left foot, a no no! I am tired of being in the house! Be good to yourself. Love you! 🤗🤗

[falalalala]

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.

😆

[greaterexp in reply to falalalala]

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

[falalalala in reply to greaterexp]

😅 No.(not yet)

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to falalalala]

Does your Lil tree have lights on it falalalala ? 🎄 🤗💕🌠

[falalalala in reply to Jesmcd2]

It does. Bulbs & garland too.

After Christmas, I put it back in the bag,fully decorated.

🤣

[kdali]

Thanksgiving will be early for me, but we will have lights outside next week.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to kdali]

The Lil ones will be soooo excited this year kdali 🎅🤗💕🌠

[kdali in reply to Jesmcd2]

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 🤣🥰

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador]

I'm just excited this year... Last year suuuuuccccked! Sssooooo bad!!! I'm going to see my grandbabies!!💗💖 I just miss them so much 😭The neighbors have their lights up, so I'm washing windows and putting those up today!😂🤣🎄⛄🦌🤗💕🌠

[greaterexp]

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.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to greaterexp]

I have been watching Christmas movies non stop!🤣😂🤣 And can't blame your hubby on that one tho..🤣😂🤗💕🌠

[jimeka]

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. 🤔

[Kenu in reply to jimeka]

My birthday 🎂 is the 15th. also and we didn’t due a tree till after that. Outside lights went up after thanksgiving day as you never know what the weather will be. 🐾🐾

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to jimeka]

I can understand that jimeka and happy birthday to her!!🤗💕🌠

[jimeka in reply to Jesmcd2]

Thank you 🤗

[ck722]

I just turned on our strung inside Icicle lights that stay up all year.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to ck722]

I don't even wanna talk about those friggin kind of lights 🤣😂 ck722 🤗💕🌠

[goatgal]

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.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador 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! 😂🤗💕🌠

[cindyrn68]

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.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to cindyrn68]

Black Friday? I went to one of those... Never ever again 😅 i would stay home with you! It sounds much nicer!🎄🤗💕🌠

[cindyrn68 in reply to Jesmcd2]

I've done two. I'm with you - never again!

[Kenu in reply to Jesmcd2]

Been there done that, never again 🐾🐾

[sashaming1]

My wife has. She enjoys Christmas decorations and music.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to sashaming1]

See! I'm not the only one!😂🤣🤗💕🌠

[ahrogers]

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 🎄 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 🤣

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to ahrogers]

Agreed about the valentine stuff ahrogers !🤣😂 Ever holiday comes earlier and earlier every year... Wonder what they are going to do when they just can't go back anymore?🤔 Start selling Christmas stuff in February? 😔🤣🤗💕🌠

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.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Bwine]

Please don't ever be scared to post here!😂 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 😂 . I do have pine trees that I get branches from tho! Love the smell!🌲🎄🤗💕🌠

[mrsmike9]

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.

[hairbrain4]

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.

[twooldcrows]
