who has put up holiday decorations already?

So I was MIA for most of the week last week.  Not sure if a discussion has been had about this.

 We just moved last weekend I refused to move our x-mas decorations from one basement, to the other just to have to bring them all back up in a couple weeks. 

So I'll admit it, I decorated (minus the tree b/c we get a real one and it's too early for that) last Friday. 

 Anyone else already decorated?

Re: who has put up holiday decorations already?

  • Nope!  I usually don't decorate until after Thanksgiving.  Not to mention that all of my decorations are at my parent's house...somewhere in the garage.  It's going to take a Saturday afternoon of moving boxes and junk that my mom keeps in order to find them.

  • Yeah, I usually don't either, but I just didn't feel like putting stuff in the basement just to drag it out in a week or so.  i have to say though, having it up has put me in a better mood! :-)

  • I want to, but right now, our lease is up a week from today, and we're going to be staying with his parents a few weeks, while we wait to hear back about the house we are trying to buy.  Our goal is to be in the house by christmas, then we'll decorate, we get a real tree every year.

    I can't wait to start decorating!

  • I was considering it, but we're hosting Thanksgiving, and the place where we'd put the tree (our first in our house since we went to ILs last year!) is being taken up by the extension in the dining room table.  Boo.

  • Before we put up our tree we have to move the treadmill.  Ha!  Not like I get much use out of it.

  • We haven't started to decorate yet. I am hoping that we might have time this weekend to start. We really want to get a real tree this year so that probably will not happen until Christmas gets a bit closer.

    Today we are focused on cleaning up snow. Crying

  • I wont do anything really until after Thanksgiving, but I did make my Christmas ribbon wreath a little while ago. We also get a real tree so that'll wait for another couple weeks at least. We'll see when anything else gets put up. :)

  • I went to the Christmas Tree Shoppe this past weekend & picked up a few items - it's so hard not to put them out! Since this is our first Christmas living together we don't have much, and whatever decorations I do have are at my parents.

    I plan on getting the decorations together Thanksgiving day & putting them all up Friday ;)

    And I'll also switch over from the Thanksgiving candle to my Christmas wreath one.. cannotttt wait.

  • We have our christmas lights on the house and the wreath on the front door, however we don't actually turn the lights on until December 1st, which is when the tree goes up too.

    I might put out some of the decorations this weekend though.

  • Stef - I get jealous every time you talk about the Christmas Tree Shop!  I love that place!

    I don't even own any Christmas decorations b/c we always travel for the holidays.  This year, we're stuck home b/c of K's work schedule, so I think I'll have to finally go buy some and decorate!

  • Since we have zero storage space in our apartment, my grandparents house 2 crates full of stuff and our fake tree. So since we're stopping by on Thursday to say hi before going to dinner, we will probably pick up the stuff then and decorate over the weekend. James has a acquired the great skill of decorating the tree with ornaments.
