Christmas?
Okay, so everyone in my neighborhood is starting to put up their Christmas decorations outside. I am SOOOO excited to decorate my own house for Christmas for the first time! But, I've always been one of those people to swear that Christmas can't start until after Thanksgiving, yet I feel this terrible urge to decorate for Christmas. I'm going to try to hold out until the day after Thanksgiving, but I just can't wait!
When do you usually start decorating for Christmas in your house?

Re: Christmas?
I have always been one for giving each holiday a time to pass. But, more and more I find that if I wait till December comes to decorate it just goes by so fast that I don't get to enjoy the decorations as much.
I just took down my Halloween decor today and was thinking of putting up the Christmas stuff today since I'm still not working yet and on the off chance I get work on Dec. 1st.
My neighbor has always put up her Christmas tree on Thanksgiving and growing up I thought this was crazy. However, now I can appreciate it. It makes sense to decorate when you have your family together and work off some of those Thanksgiving calories.
Do the creep.
My birthday is December 7, so no decor up until the 8th. My mom started this tradition when I was little, and DH is happy to continue it.
Although we do celebrate St. NIcholas' Day on the 6th.
This!
Hmm I'm going to be a hypocrite this year. While I usually decorate for Christmas like RIGHT AFTER Thanksgiving I think I'm going to be doing it the weekend before this year....
Thanksgiving weekend is going to be spent at the in-laws, and the next 2 weeks will be consumed with our HM so that only leaves me 1 weekend before Christmas and not that I have to decorate on the weekend but I like to have time and not feel all rushed on what I'm working on in the evenings so I've decided to do it before Thanksgiving this year - but not by too much! Plus it's only inside our house!
Christmas is my absolute favorite and I really can't wait to start decorating. I always make myself wait until after Thanksgiving though! We'll be in Seattle visiting the in-laws Thanksgiving weekend so we'll go get our tree and decorate the first weekend in December.
Can't wait!
My Bio
Update 5.24.10
We usually start decorating the evening of Thankgiving after our naps from eating too much or the weekend after! Christmas is both my DH and I's favorite so we keep talking about decorating early since is the first Christmas since we bought our house!
If I decorated after Thanksgiving, then I would have had my Christmas stuff up since the second weekend in October!! lol
So, for us, right after Halloween is perfect! Although the weather has been really warm so far this Nov, so it's been a bit more difficult to get into the holiday mood...not that I am complaining about our lack of snow so far, believe me!!
