When does Christmas time start where you are?

Before I moved to America I have always been enthusiastic about the celebration of Christmas in my country since it is one of the longest in the world!
When September comes songs are already played on the radio and people already start putting up decorations and it usually ends in January 6 ( feast of 3 kings) in my place in particular Christmas decorations stay up until the 3rd week of January.
When I moved to the United States it usually starts after thanksgiving (4th week of November) and end after new year
What about you guys? When does christmas start where you are? When does it end?

Didn't you go into Walmart, a mall or into a Target or Kmart? They all start putting out Christmas decorations before Halloween and start playing Christmas music on November 1st. I get tired of Christmas well before December is even here!
May I ask what city in Missouri you live near?

Yep, around oct 29-30 Walmart starts packing the Halloween displays and the Christmas stuff start getting set up
I guess because there’s no such thing as thanksgiving decorations it’s a plus! XD
Near Kansas City. You?

@ramira puto and tsokolate after simbang gabi!
Why stay inside to hear mass? When you can sit on your car with your friends and relatives, feel the cool breeze and watch the sun go up as the mass is ending?
Visiting relatives during Christmas Day and of course the kiddos will be all excited because of the gifts and money they receive
And then there’s the noche buena, christmas and new year fireworks!

In the U.S. people start preparing for it before Thanksgiving. You can usually buy decore as early as Nov 1st. However, given how diverse our country is, you can see celebrations poping up at different times of year.

Most people start right before or right after Thanksgiving, and it ends on the 26th (but some people leave the tree up until after New Year's Day), as you said, of course lol. I also live in the United States.
As for music, shopping, wrapping, etc. - I start when I feel like it. Some would feel I start too early because it's before Thanksgiving, but that's their problem lol.

Where do you live? Why Christmas is observed long in your country. Christmas season is in the month of December.
