re: When should Christmas decorations go up?

What the frick? Yall don't have a Christmas house?

We have a specific house we move into the Saturday after thanksgivng and stay there until Jan 2 each year, it just stays decorated year round.

3 days before Christmas and come down on the 26th.

Day after Thanksgiving at my house is the earliest Christmas stuff goes up. I have fall harvest decorations that went up the day after Halloween out currently.

I usually put Fall stuff out Labor Day weekend. I get specific with pumpkins and stuff for Halloween but the pumpkins will stay out until Turkey Day. Christmas stuff goes out the weekend after Thanksgiving if I stay home and don't travel back home.

We started putting stuff up early this year because we will be in Louisiana for all of Thanksgiving week and the weekend after.

When I did my lights to music display, I had to start putting it up right after Halloween to have it going by the weekend after Thanksgiving. So glad I don't do that shite anymore.

I'll usually do ours over Thanksgiving break. May be the day before or a day or too after. I refuse to do it that close to Halloween.

Yesterday

For us, it's always the Fourth Sunday
in Advent. Later sometimes but not earlier. They come down on Epiphany. I guess technically Christmas season starts on Christmas day but the alter colors don't change from Advent purple to Christmas white until Christmas Day and doesn't change again (to green) until something like the Fifth Sunday after Epiphany-so-I guess I could leave lights and decorations until then. Point being Christmas starts later and lasts longer than most of us realize.
