I wait until after Thanksgiving. people have forgotten what Thanksgiving is about. It’s not about eating til you puke, its about being Thankful for what you have. Although we do gourge ourselves on food, we also take time to go around our table and say three things (too easy to come up with one) about what we are grateful to have.

Around Dec 1, then I break out the decorations.

If you wish to decorate early, by all means go for it!

My family starts putting up decorations the day after Thanksgiving. I take one holiday at a time. My neighbor was hanging Christmas lights on his house the day after Halloween. He hasn't turned them on yet, maybe he was just doing it because the weather is nice.

usually i start decorating halloween night. lol i am a Christmas fanatic, however this year i am so procrastinating because where i live it is usually cold or snowing. It has snowed a couple times, but nothing stuck and now it is warm But I am getting there, I started pulling some stuff out yesterday. We do not put our live tree up until after Christmas, due to the fact of it drying out. But we have a huge house and I put up several trees:) It is alot of work and I want to enjoy it. So lets decorate, go for it!!!

We normally don’t start putting up decorations until the 1st or 2nd week of December (it all depends what we have going on). We decorate the outside with garland, red bows, and christmas lights. Inside we put up the tree, hang the stockings, put up our snow village, and decorate the front door. Doing all this while listening to Christmas music! I sure do love the holiday season! Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside haha! This thanksgiving we are getting together with the other 12 relatives on my mom’s side (we aren’t that close to my dad’s side). I can’t wait for Turkey day and christmas!!! I began christmas shopping back in September!! LoL HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

I decorate my room before Thanksgiving – usually way before. I love it all, and it makes me happy, so why shouldn’t I? Look, just because people are giving you a hard time about it doesn’t mean you should not do something you want to do, just to please them. Well, that goes for your mom and grandma and your mother in law. Try to come to a compromise with your husband sense he lives there to!

Yeah, we wait till after thanksgiving. We don't have very many decorations, but just the lights look beautiful. we have shrubs in front of our yard, anyway, so all you can really see is the roof anyways. Actually, tho, i get excited for christmas easily, and this is a long weekend so I'm going to decorate my room in a christmas theme! all my friends and family think i'm crazy, but i don't care. I LOVE Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas to All!

No lie, my fiance is a fanatic about Christmas. He starts decorating October 1st and he "officially" turns on the outside decorations November 1st. Last year we tryed something new and did the church for them… We started decorating the church about the same time (Octoberish). It took us a month or so to finish! It cracks me up everytime but I guess everyone deserves their fettish! I don’t think it’s rushing it… It only happens once a year…

I decorate my house the week of Thanksgiving because I can't wait any longer. If you put up your decorations now it may ruin it a little, but it is completely up to you and as far as your mom and mother in law it doesn't matter if they want you to your not because you and your husband are the ones who have to look at it every day not her, so if you don't think it will ruin the holiday for you then start breaking out the decorations and have fun.
