julz0420 Posted October 20, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopping4my3son Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Usually Thanksgiving weekend. We leave it up until mid-January usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julz0420 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanyon71 Posted October 20, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytmomof4 Posted October 20, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bopeep Posted October 20, 2014 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper501 Posted October 20, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smtowngrl Posted October 20, 2014 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebear Posted October 21, 2014 Share 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!

bossy1 Posted October 22, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmck Posted October 23, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilac100 Posted October 23, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanShotFirst Posted October 25, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love2behappy Posted October 27, 2014 Share 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.

starbeck96 Posted October 28, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
