Ok ... One Christmas tree up and decorated in the family room ( only two more to go) along with a mixture of Thanksgiving stuff scattered about.

Anyone else putting up Christmas decorations yet?

No, it's not even Thanksgiving. One damn holiday at a time.

Hell no. I will however decorate outside next week. Simply because I'm off work all week long. But, nothing will be lit up until the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Nope. I put my stuff up after Thanksgiving and leave it up until my birthday (January 21st). It brings me joy, so IDGAF that it's way longer than most people.

early-mid November until late december/January is a long damn time to be looking at christmas decorations. Probably won't decorate for another 3 weeks.

Would never put up Christmas decorations prior to Thanksgiving. They usually go up the second Sunday in December.

Go up the Friday after Thanksgiving when I lived at home. No that we travel, they will likely go up Sunday after. Come down first weekend after New Years.

...I'm off this week and might put up the outside Christmas lights (won't turn them on) but not any of the garlands or wreaths. It's just a lot easier to put the lights up when it's warm rather than freezing my fingers off. I did see one guy who had everything lit on Saturday night...waaaaaaaaaay to early for that.

We usually put up the inside tree and the other decorations just after Thanksgiving.

Friggin radio stations are playing Xmas music, so are Dept. stores. It's going to be 70 degrees end of the week and we're still weeks away from turkey day. Too early for decorations.

I'll put up Christmas lights and stuff on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. If weather bad then next best time. Bad weather forecasted will not get me to put it out (but not turn on) before Thanksgiving.

Outside decorations go up on the first decent day after Thanksgiving and the tree and inside decorations go up early December.

I'm like a scrooge. I don't do any decorations for any holidays.

Waste of time, space, and money for me. Wife likes them, she can take care of all that. We are never at our house for Christmas, so the tree makes no sense.

Thanksgiving is in 8 days.

I don't care if other people/places decorate or play music(fwiw I HATE Christmas music), but it's just not my thing. We won't put up decorations or anything until after Thanksgiving.
