A lot of people I know start putting their Christmas decorations up on the 1st of December put personally I think that's too early, When do you normally put up the decorations?

Usually the weekend after Thanksgiving. Kind of early I know but that's when I start getting into the Christmas mood.

Thanksgiving weekend or sometime beginning of December.

The day after Thanksgiving. It isn't too early. I love Christmas. I keep Christmas lights up in my room all year around.

Here in the US, usually the first Saturday before Dec 1st, which would make it Nov 30th this year. Then we take it down like a week after New Year's Day.

But back in the old country, we wouldn't decorate until Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, the males of the family would go out to the woods (It's right behind our house) to look for a Christmas tree. Then either the dad or the grandad would chop down the tree and would bring it to the house. While they are out, the women would go to the attic and bring down all the ornaments, lights, candles, and the other decorations and bring them down into the kitchen. When the men got back, everyone would decorate the tree. After that, we'd all go to midnight mass. It usually stays up until Feb 2nd, the feast of the Virgin Mary.
