I am just curious because I know in my previous thread that many are done with their Christmas shopping in the month of September. what about the Christmas decorations? when do most of you decorate? what about the Christmas tree? some of my friends they started to put up their Christmas decor by the first week of December. In out neighborhood, I saw Belen and Christmas lights as early as November after Thanks giving. Well, I am thrilled to see those colorful lights anyway, specially at night, Well, in our house I never start to decorate yet... hahaha maybe middle of December i will start.

What about you? I bet you are done with your shopping but decoration will be the last in your mind. when will that be? after thanks giving?

My husband has a strict rule that the Christmas tree cannot be put up until after Thanksgiving, which is fine by me. One holiday at a time as far as I am concerned. I like to have it up for at least that long because it is a lot of work to get everything out of storage and get it set up. I usually don't take my tree down until after New Year's Day.

Oh really? I agree with that idea too, one holiday at a time.. haahha... yes, getting things in the storage is hard.. good for me, the Christmas tree that I found in the attic is just enough.. not big.. I never put up Christmas for about 2 Christmas now since I am here but this Christmas i will try to put up a tree. Our neighbor used the pine tree. The live tree and they do that every year. Wow what big Christmas tree.. something like 10 ft tall? it almost reach to their ceiling? and they have a high ceiling.. LOL..

Hi Bebs,

I guess we will start to put it up after thanksgiving, it will not be a lot of decor for us, nothing outside the house, only our Christmas tree, lights and other decor inside!
Back home, we always do it mid week of November also and I guess they are now ready this time and Mom started to clean and dig them up! LOL!

Hi Che,

What? in the Phil. you put up your X-mas tree in the middle of November? hahaha,,.. that's too early!! well, I never have X-mas tree when I was there. Even in my classroom I won't have that. We are not decorating, but we do have exchange gifts and X-mas party. But here, I will try to decorate just for fun... e don't believe on that.. and my hubby would tell me, I am pagan hahahaha... Anyway, I just do it for fun.

We usually put our tree up the second week of December. I know we put it up later than most people we know. My Mom puts her's up the day after Thanksgiving and takes it down New Year's Day.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Bebs08 (2494)   ranked 36 out of 35,155 in people  1 year ago

Well, that is my plan too. I will upt up mine on the middle of December and put it down after the new year. Well, i just want to have the fun of it. It is not a big deal to us much more for my hubby who doesn't want Christmas decorations in the house. lol

I guess right after Thanksgiving, that way the holiday becomes more real.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Bebs08 (2494)   ranked 36 out of 35,155 in people  1 year ago

That's right!! one holiday at a time. But for me, i will do it on the middle of December. At least Christmas is still very fresh at that time. I don't like to feel the Christmas spirit too early and on Christmas day, I am not excited anymore. lol

I usually put up the Christmas tree by middle of November also the Belen and all the other Christmas decors in the house. My hubby and son is in charge of the installation of the Christmas lights outdoor. Of course while decorating, we would be playing Christmas songs aloud to boost our spirits. (Ha!ha!ha!) It is a big delight to feel the Christmas spirit filling our home after seeing the transformation of the whole house and surroundings. I love it when night comes and then we will turn on all the Christmas lights in the garden. Oh the glittering brights lights are lovely. Then we will eat our dinner in the garden set. It's a wonderful feeling... I really can't explain!


myLot reputation of 98/100. Bebs08 (2494)   ranked 36 out of 35,155 in people  1 year ago

Oh yes my friend, I really love to see the Christmas lights at night in the neighboring houses here. I can picture your house with a garden? wow!! and lights all over and eat dinner right in the garden? I like that. There's no like that here. I still love the Philippine style.. You can not just stay outside at night here during December or even this time because it is very cold. No wonder why I can't see people
sitting outside their house at day time or even at eve. You can not stand the cold.. hahaha unlike in the Philippines, everybody wants to stay outside the house because it is hot inside... here, is the reverse. lollol

oh really? so, you are not an early shopper. Many people I know here, had said they are done with their Christmas shopping since September.. hahahaha... so, you and I are the same when it comes to Christmas shopping. With the Christmas tree, I will put it up on the mid of December.
