When do you decorate for Christmas? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I always decorate the weekend after Thanksgiving. I take them down around January 2nd, so they're up for a full month. I have a lot of decorations, most of which I've had for decades.

Typically Thanksgiving morning we put up the decorations outside. The decorations inside usually go up the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Everything comes down New Years Day.

I usually get the tree up the second or third week of December. If i'm in the mood for more decorations than just the tree, I get an earlier start. I've never started before 12/1 though.

I refuse to acknowledge Christmas until after Thanksgiving. I don't get these ppl who start decorating before Halloween. By the time X-mas gets here you're tired of it lol

I try to get decoration down before Jan 1. Let the New Years' Day sun rise on your Christmas tree and you have bad luck all year, or so I've been told.

Need to start putting up decorations soon!

That sounds really nice, Janice. I bet you have a really nice display.

We will probably start putting ours up during this week, or next weekend.

The weekend after Thanksgiving for me.

I put the exterior lights up today. Christmas tree in the living room will go up tomorrow and Tuesday.

treky · 12-02-2013, 02:26 AM

we do it about a week before Xmas.

I usually do my decorating after Thanksgiving, this year I put up my window lights before Thanksgiving.

DJM77 · 12-02-2013, 06:37 PM

I put them out on December 1st and I put them away on December 26th.

Ohio8 · 12-02-2013, 08:17 PM

I don't.

80sTrivia · 12-02-2013, 08:38 PM

I normally put up my tree and decorations on the first Saturday in December and take them down on New Year's Day.

Regulus · 12-02-2013, 08:41 PM

I normally start the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Because I was out-of-town this weekend I began putting up my decorations today (I'll finish tomorrow).

BTW Volusia County actually did me a favor when they summoned me for Jury Duty today. My origional Plan was to leave on Wednesday and return today, but when I received the summons (a day after I set up my reservations) I pushed up things 24 hours, leaving home on Tuesday and returning yesterday. As a result, I only had to put with Atlanta's rush-hour traffic ONCE.

: If I had stuck with my origional plan I'd contend with it twice!

From now on, if I have to drive through Atlanta, it will only be on a WEEKEND.

I will decorate some time soon.

I don't have a set day each year when I pull out Christmas decorations. It seems to vary a little.

My brother and family decorated their house and got a real Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.

Fleet · 12-03-2013, 04:39 AM

I forgot to mention that I keep up the decorations until Jan. 8 to 10. Even later if the weekend is only a few days after the 10th.
