julz0420 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 For a long time I decorated/put up the tree on BF but now we put up the tree the weekend before Thanksgiving. Of course, it comes down either late Christmas Day or the day after. By then I'm done lol 1
shopping4my3son Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Usually Thanksgiving weekend. We leave it up until mid-January usually.
julz0420 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Posted October 20, 2014 On my moms side of the family, we celebrate Russian (Ukraine) Christmas so her trees are always up til late January. I can't take looking at it anymore by then lol. Sometimes she waits til early deceiver to get all her trees up. It takes her a long time to decorate.
jdrd90 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I will start decorating at the beginning of November. We also put up a real tree so that won't go up until Thanksgiving weekend. I can't wait!!! 1
Kanyon71 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 It will depend on when we get in our new house but usually we start right around Thanksgiving. Real tree will come early December but most everything else is Thanksgiving.
ytmomof4 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I usually put a few little things out after Halloween. Sometimes we hang our lights but not turn them on until bf. We get a real tree so that usually goes up the weekend after thanksgiving.everything else is on bf after I get home from shopping.
jade2002 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Some of my stuff will be put out right after Halloween.
Bopeep Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 If I decorate outside, I'll probably do that the weekend before Thanksgiving, then the tree and everything inside will go up Thanksgiving weekend. Although, I just bought a new train to go around my tree, and I'm so excited that I may not even wait until Thanksgiving to put it all up!
Thumper501 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I start decorating after Thansgiving. The exterior lights might go up sooner, depending if the weather warms up one weekend in November.
smtowngrl Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 We put a lot of decorations up outdoors so we'll start early November (after Halloween so nothing gets vandalized). I usually do all the indoor decorations and put up the tree the weekend before Thanksgiving. Last year I did everything except the tree the first weekend in November and that really worked well for me. If kids come home for Thanksgiving then I'll wait for the tree until after they leave.
angelbabymommy Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 We usually decorate/put up our tree December 1 every year while watching a Christmas movie or listening to Christmas music. This year, I may start a tradition with the Saturday after BF, just because December 1 has been falling on a weekday.
NovemberDiva Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 We usually decorate Thanksgiving weekend
bluebear Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Usually Thanksgiving weekend. I'm hoping my house renovations will be done enough that I can access my decorations this year!Mama decorates Sunday before Thanksgiving, which is funny, because when we were kids, she never would until 1st week in December. Now she does everything but the kitchen. After dinner, we all take down the Thanksgiving stuff and help decorate the kitchen! Edited October 21, 2014 by bluebear
berry1014 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Thanksgiving weekend is when we do all our Christmas Decorating ... inside and out.
bossy1 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Usually on BF...then on Christmas morning while I make the rounds, DH performs "the annual ripping down of the Christmas crap" his words not mine (and this is the man who loves Christmas as much as a 5 yr old)....But to be honest it's nice to have my house back to normal by 3pm Christmas day
Elmck Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 DH stopped wanting to celebrate Christmas about 9 years ago. So I only decorate DD11's room. Her and I will go to my parents house the entire week of Christmas. We help them decorate usually the week before Thanksgiving. I do buy poinsettias and those cinnamon pine cones for the house, he likes those.
Mandy4Matt Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 The day and weekend after Thanksgiving we will get all of our decorating done. I cannot wait!!
lilac100 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Ok usually the weekend of Thanksgiving. This year is somewhat different, it's going up this Sunday. I've decided to be Mrs Clause for Halloween and decorate and hand out candy canes to trick or treaters. It won't all be done but the tree will be up and the door will have lights and whatnot. 2
HanShotFirst Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 No later than the weekend before Thanksgiving. I love coming back home from the holiday weekend with my family to an already decorated house and tree.
stevierocks Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 usually dec. 6th i would do it.. but this year we have a LOT of outdoor decrating to do.. so we will likely start weekend after thanksgiving, hopefully having some extra warmth
ytmomof4 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) I just realized I'm still decorated from last year.I still have my snowman mugs and my santa cookie jar in my hutch.Well not really decorated but a few things out lol Edited October 27, 2014 by ytmomof4
love2behappy Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I always decorate the Friday after Thanksgiving. Once the shopping is done and after my nap, the boxes come out. . .last year though, my children talked me into doing it the Tuesday before Thanksgiving since they were "officially" on Thanksgiving break.
tyreejames Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I plan on putting the tree and inside decor up the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Outside lights will hopefully go up within the next 2 weeks or so.
Kanyon71 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I just realized I'm still decorated from last year.I still have my snowman mugs and my santa cookie jar in my hutch.Well not really decorated but a few things out lolBefore we moved to MI we had a room in our house that we call the Christmas room, we have Thomas Kinkaid paintings that were hung and are of the old time Christmas and snow look so we left out certain decorations for Christmas in there all year. Always made us smile looking around 1
starbeck96 Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I would love to get our tree up the weekend before BF, but it will depend on how much money we have since we always get a real tree. If not then, it will probably be the weekend after BF.
Pepper_Mint_Tea Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Right after thanksgiving !!! After I finish playing with all my BF goodies as well !!!
