Am I Too Early

I don´t decorate for Christmas now. I always go to my daughter Claudia´s home for Christmas and I go to Dixie´s or to Dixie´s eldest daughter´s for New Year. So there is nobody to look at my tree.

My house is all decorated for Halloween right now, but I am not opposed to starting the Christmas decorating right after that! I usually wait until around Thanksgiving, as we always get a live Christmas tree every year, so whenever we go to the lot and pick one out, that's usually when we start all our Christmas decorating.

Oh glad to see you active again! You should stay in touch with your Friends here!! By the way, we are just in process of winding down after Deepavali or Diwali - The Festival of Lights. Now gradually we would be busy with our different works Christmas thinking for us would be mainly around Mid December so still some time.

You are not too early if you enjoy. I decorate the first week of December.

Last year, we didn't decorate for Christmas. Yes, we had a Christmas tree.This year, we definitely will be decorating. I will start about the second week of December.

Not too early if that is what you enjoy. Maybe a wreath on the door here, but much later. Enjoy your weekend.

Our Christmas preparation started to get later and later. We used to prepare in November as all of the autumn birthdays were over by then... but we now have two more birthdays at the end of November. We also have a couple of December birthdays but they're adults so we don't have to worry too much about them I've picked up a couple of Christmas gifts but that was only because I happened to see them when getting something else, and it worked out cheaper to buy them all at the same time. We will probably put up our tree a week before Christmas - I had told my husband that I'd like a new tree. I've had the same one since I moved in here 8 years ago and it's getting a bit old. I'd also like to have new things that are mine and my husband's choices rather than just whatever I'd got before I married him! I will admit, though, that I have already watched a Christmas film this year. I think I watched it in August. It was 'Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage'. It's not the kind of thing I'd usually watch but I'd just finished watching the final series of Supernatural and one of the actors was in that film, which happened to be free to watch on Amazon! Anyway, I think I've gone off on a tangent. I like Christmas with my family. I don't like Christmas themes all over the place too early but that's not so much me not liking it but me not wanting to listen to those who complain about it!

I don't decorate... anything season specific is up all year long...

I think that if you add a little horn of plenty under the Christmas tree you will be combining the 2 holidays perfectly. With our Thanksgiving behind us by a few weeks now, we are full steam ahead for Christmas. Nothing really goes out until after Remembrance Day, then the stores go all out and the music played on the radio has quite a festive theme to it.

I will put Christmas up after Thanksgiving. I have a couple of inflatable turkeys that woll be outside after Halloween until Thanksgiving.

Yes it's too early to decorate for Christmas. I usually don't decorate until after Thanksgiving. But I'm not decorating as much this year.

Good job, Valerie! I just leave the decorating and outdoor lights to my children. If they make the time, I'd be happy to have a 'star-studded' (Christmas lights) come Christmas holidays. As long as they put them down again and neatly put away back into the shed. :-D

Glad to know. enjoy too have a nice day.

Christmas time unofficially starts here at the onset of BER months. So, it's September.

Shops may start decorating for Christmas at the beginning of December. Private households usually put up their Christmas trees on December 24th. If someone had a Christmas tree in their home now, the neighbours would think that the person had a screw loose.
