I think my husband and I never have a real set date, but we mostly decorate after Thanksgiving. I think this year, I'm going all out and decorating. I have a specific theme and everything. Hubby and I love the beach so we are going to have a beach theme. What about you when do you decorate and do you do certain themes or you just decorate. I decided to do the theme thing because this will be hubby and I's first Christmas together as being married. Its so exciting.

We usually start to decorate the first week of December. We do not do any sort of themes or anything just decorate with the usual decorations. I put up alot of the stuff my kids made in school. I think that it makes it feel more homey.

That does make it feel more homey. I know my mom used to do that when my brother and I were younger she would put up things that we made for Christmas and the new things that we would make every year. I think still she does it now and neither of us is home. I think just a few things though.

We decorate the Friday after Thanksgiving. I have collected different Christmas decorations over the past four years that we have been married. Every year we add a new decoration for the house. As for the tree last year it was in Red and Silver. I will probably do the tree the same this year but add in another color.

We usually decorate the first or second weekend after thanksgiving. I don't really have a theme, christmas i guess lol. We go all out as much as we can since we have kids. I want them to enjoy christmas as much as we did when we were kids.

Yeah I can completely understand that. We never had a theme until this year. We don't have any kids yet, but we have his kids and I want it to look nice for them when they come over.

I think I start decorating the week after Thanksgiving, my house that is, I don't put my tree up till about a week before Christmas. I don't have a special theme really, but we live out in the country and we have an old country house, that looks like a cabin, so we always have a Country Christmas.

Aw I miss living out in the country. That sounds like a great theme. That may be my theme for next year a Country Christmas.
