When do you start decorating for Christmas?

[Fireballer 2,381]

Except for the Jews, Muslims, etc...just kiddin, Im told diversity is our countrys greatest strength.

We started yesterday.  We decorate throughout the house and do the smaller trees, etc over the next couple weeks and are done by Nov 15 culminated by our big tree in the den and a holiday BJ over red wine after we're done.  

I do icicle lights, window swags and  bows, wreaths, garland on all the railings, and a nativity outside. Yes, its a  bit overboard,  but we love Christmas time and, if your gonna decorate, might as well leave it up a while.

Not sure. Decorating is a woman’s job.

Probably after Thanksgiving

That seems early, but if you enjoy it, go for it.  We've got a neighbor who goes crazy every year; their house has been on a national TV decoration competition show.  They started this weekend.  I hate to be a Grinch but it makes driving past that house a pain in the evenings because people come from all over to see it, which means lots of little kids running into the street in the dark.  We take a longer route which bypasses it.

Anyway... we don't start until Thanksgiving at the earliest.  And years like this year when we are traveling to visit family, we usually pick either outside or inside.  We did some new landscaping in the front so we'll probably do outside.  I tend to like it more than the wife (I would do both) so maybe I'll negotiate adding the tree which shows in our front window, so it adds to the outside effect.  

No ceremonial BJ, but I like your thinking.

After Thanksgiving

When my wife decides it’s time to start

Day after Thanksgiving

[listen2me 23 1,542]

Ill put a few lights up 1st week of december.  

I dont understand why people want xmas decorations up for months.  Let it be fall for focks sake.  A local station goes pure christmas music starting november 1st till december 26th.  I dont understand.  Massive overkill.

Black Friday

[IGotWorms 3,315]

aren’t you too tired to give a BJ after all that?

[Djgb13 2,338]

I’m at the mountains right now and fock they must’ve started Nov 1st decorating 

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

My wife put up our decorations yesterday. Wreath on the door, tree, all that crap. I think it's too soon, but hey, what the fock do I care? If it makes her happy, go for it baby.

In memory of mama nzoner I have a Chiefsmas Tree that stays up year round in my gameroom.

Mama nzoner bought me the yearly Chiefs ornament for my tree for many years and yearly we would put it up and take it down.When I lost her to cancer a few years ago I decided to leave the tree up year round in her memory.

I wrapped my posts a couple weekends ago cause it was warm.   Havent plugged them in but at least they are up

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

I don't decorate, but my wife does.  I get mad if we do anything before Black Friday.  Same thing when my mother asks me what I want for Christmas.  I don't answer until after Thanksgiving.  

[Reality 2,710]

Weekend after Thanksgiving, I just do lights on the front of the house and the light post in the yard..  Nothing crazy.

We do Thanksgiving at our place on Friday, don't want any of that in the way.

It's only my son and I and we live in a townhouse, so there's no exterior to decorate.  Plus, we're not much of "in-house" decorators.  We'll go over my parents and my sons' mother's parents every year to help them decorate.

[vuduchile 1,941]

Start?  Hell, we leave that sh!t up year round.  

[lickin_starfish 1,480]

It seems like stores start decorating earlier each year...

I do the lights and the decorating outside Thanksgiving week. And then on Thanksgiving, we turn them on. And leave everything lit through the Super Bowl.

 

[Drizzay 645]

We always do the weekend before thanksgiving.  I am always too full/drunk to do it the weekend after.  Plus it is cold here.  The fock if I am waiting until December to hang lights outside.

So you're house is basically decorated 1/4 of the year. I would hate you as a neighbor.
