When do you start Decorating for the Holiday?

i started way earlier than usual this year. the tree was up and decorated by the 19th. as well as all the inside decorations. took me several days with cast on. i did the outside decorations, just the side porch this year, this past saturday. normally i don't even bring out the decorations until the day after thanksgiving. and we usually have a real tree which we get the first week of dec. my s/o bought us an artificial tree for this year, easier for me to take care of with cast on left arm.

Hi that`s so soon to start decorating for the holiday, and I`m agree with you it`s so nice this time of the year, I begin to decorate my home begining december before Virgen`s day on 7th december, that`s my countrie`s tradition, and be ready for the chritsmas nigth, and I un-decorate my home around 6-7 january. I love this time because the family is all together, we share dinners, presents and love, some family comes from several places of the world and visit us. This time is so special for the kids, specifically my little cousins the are so happy recieving presents and having dinners together. Have a merry chritsmas...

Thanksgiving here in Canada is Mid October which is way too early for us. LOL But when I was growing up, the kids used to "surprise" my mother by putting up the tree December 1st while she was out. Not that it was a rule or anything, so when I was a bit older, I didn't bother to do it, and she came home expecting it up and was a bit disappointed. Now that I have children I love decorating with them. I know many people here have already started to decorate and we went to the community tree lighting event on Saturday. But I don't start until after December starts, usually the first weekend of December. We are planning on decorating this weekend. The kids are super excited.

Holiday decorations are started in my place before one week itself.. they exhibit their decorations to friends and relatives too.

when i was in the Philippines my sister started christmas decorating after all souls day and now that i am here in the USA ayear ago i started it before thanksgiving but now i decided to decorate it this coming sunday after thanksgiving i guessed its better this way. I want my husband put the christmas tree for my coz its so big and heavy though. Have a wonderful day.

We start decorating right after Thanksgiving. We don't put up lights outside, were never really into that. We did it a couple of years and just did not get into it and alot of work. We like to decorate inside, christmas table cloths and napkins, towels, figurines, Christmas village, wreaths, etc. The tree is the last to go up and we wait till mid December to put up because we get a live tree and if we put it up too early it really dries outs. I really like decorating, we have so much fun doing it.

My family and I have been so busy even my siblings and cousin to decorate our home this past few weeks but my aunt already set a date on when we will be decorating our Christmas tree. And we will do it this coming weekend! Yahoo! We have this big Christmas tree that we love to decorate... and we are so excited to put gifts on it. For this year, we will have exchange gifts. Since my siblings and cuz doesn't have work yet, I would have to give them a budget money to buy for a gifts for their "monito/monita". hehehe... oh... I have plans of taking them into dinner and watch a movie next week... Can't wait! Happy HOlidays and mylotting!

I don't do a lot of holiday decoration, but I like to change flower arrangements and seasonal decorations about the first of December, put up some winter greenery and berrys etc. The nice greens and reds bring some color to a drab, dreary winter world. The tree goes up the 15th of December and comes down New Years eve or New Years day. Part of this tradition for me started as a child. We would go to the mountains and cut our own tree. Live trees shed their needles profusely even if you keep the trunk damp, and my mother didn't like sweeping up the "mess" they made, so we never got the tree very early, and didn't leave it up long after Christmas. While I may not have holiday decorations up for very long, I like to leave the winter greenery (fake of course) up until the end of February, then I'm ready to get out some spring colors!

When I was still in the Philippines we usually start decorating our home on either 1st or mid of October. Well, as you know Filipinos celbrates christmas the earliest and perhaps the longest(1st week of September to January). In most of the stores and malls christmas decorating are more earlier. Now that am here in the USA I seldom see people who decorates that early. Here in the house I guess I won't be decorating at all. I don't see any christmas decors here and we're too busy to make some; we won't be spending christmas here anyway but maybe in one of my husband's siblings. This is my first christmas here so am some kind of unprepared, I hope next year I can be more decorative.

I am pretty sure that my family will NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER again decorate for the christmas that is coming up. I have already seen bunch of christmas trees that other people have decorated, but the only time that my family actually decorated a christmas tree that I can recall... is probably once or twice during 19 years and 9 months of my life. Oh, I will probably decorate my own christmas tree whenever I get a family of my own, or whenever I start living by myself. I will DEFINITELY hang out with my friends and my girlfriend (whenever I get one) during christmas. Having christmas with my family... might sound kind of rude but is boring. But whenever I get a chance to start decorating for the holiday myself, I will probably start decorating whenever I feel like, but BEFORE the actual day. It could be someday before Thanksgiving, middle of october, or november, or december, or early november or december, but NEVER after the actual day. Happy mylotting and enjoy your decorating your holiday :)

we start on the friday after thanksgiving. its a tradition. as soon as we get up, we get everything out and get busy. the kids have the things that they like to put in their room and we all just go crazy. i put a christmas movie on the tv to be playing in the background and we just have fun. then every night till chrismas we watch a christmas movie. the whole family. we take turns picking one out. its great. its our favorite time of year.

i usually out up my lights outside the house the first weekend in december and the decorations inside 2nd weekend. tree, always use a real one, so put that up 2-3 weeks before.

We usually start decorating our house for holidays after Halloween. I know its kinda early but for us, holiday season starts after Halloween since we don't have thanksgiving here in the Philippines. Happy Holidays by the way :)

I have the same tradition as yours. The day after Thanksgiving I am decorating. I am finish with the inside, but not with the outside. It's a little cold but as soon as it gets a little warmer I would do outside and decorate. I hate taking down he decorations also. I usually wait until January 6 to take mines down. I try to keep the Three Kings Day tradition of celebrating until January 6.

I don't decorate for Thanksgiving but I do for Christmas. I start the day after Thanksgiving. And the tree gets taken down the day after Christmas.

This year, I didn't have anything to do so I started decorating early November, probably the first week. We used to start earlier though but now everyone in the house is so busy that we start quite late. I haven't even done any of my Christmas shopping yet! It's partly because I'm putting off spending though and not so much because I'm busy. Haha. The only part I hate about putting up decors is that it's so dusty!!!

I decorate after thanksgiving is over. Some people were doing it before thanksgiving. I like to do before sometimes but i people say why so early and i just the lighting of the tree and the fact we go shopping for children. We all need all buy for the needy every year. I know there are times that we cant buy for the needy but we sure try. So everyone reach down deep inside ur wallets and soend a little extra for soemone who is less fortunate then you. HAPPY MYLOTTING A HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR

I started decorating for this holidays season after the fiesta celebration of Immaculate Conception. Usually second week of the month of december. that is also the time that i buy christmas gift for my love ones. Advance merry christmas to all.
