myboysnme Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I will decorate the first weekend in Dec and the tree stays up until Epiphany or Twelfth Night - Jan 6th. I do take down Santa related stuff after the 25th.
redraccoon Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 The spouse and kids will be dragging out the storage boxes as soon as they recover from eating Thanksgiving dinner. A far more family oriented activity than SHOPPING!
bamamomma Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Our son will be home from college Thanksgiving week, daughter is out of school most of the week and hubby took vacation time for the week. My hope is that Christmas lights will go up outside on Wed and that Thursday after dinner that we will put up the tree while watching Christmas Vacation. We were suppose to be headed to FL this Thanksgiving but plans were changed and we are now staying home. I'm really hoping that since no one will be visiting during Thanksgiving that we will be able to decorate and have the entire house decked out.
ytmomof4 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I'm hoping lights go up thanksgivibg while I'm out shopping.Friday I will put my stuff out inside then hopefully saturday if it's not raining we will go get our tree and put it up
jesusluvu Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Usually on BF once I get up from bed, as I would be out all night.
speeddiva Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 DH is going to do it while I'm out of town the 1st weekend in December. I'm such a Scrooge, I'd put up a little table-top tree and call it good, DH on the other hand, puts up 11 trees and my house looks like a Christmas store blew up when he's done.
leefamily23 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 We usually would this weekend to have the house decorated for Thanksgiving. However our plans have been set to the side on that, we are living in the middle of 7-8 foot snow drifts and not looking at getting out anytime soon.
nikkilugi Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Christmas lights are going on the house this weekend, whoo hoo. It got really cold all of a sudden a few weeks ago all of a sudden and dh hates the cold. I was really worried I would have to crawl up that ladder in 20 degree weather to attach lights to our gutters. Thank goodness for a small break of 50 degrees before the temps drop again Monday. I will decorate inside after I take my final in statistics next week. Hell, I will be so happy that class is over that I will be drinking spiked eggnog while doing it, lol. Now I know why I skipped statistics - too many numbers.
Illinoismom Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I started this weekend have 2 rooms done, three to go
Kanyon71 Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Looks like we won't be getting to do much this year. Delays in construction it's looking like week before or week of Christmas before we move. OH YAY lol
Deal Grabber Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I put so much stuff up in my house its impossible to do in a day.I started a few weeks ago doin one room at a time.Just got the 4th tree up yesterday but wont decorate it till thanksgiving while we watch the parade. Will do outside this weekend. We luv christmas time , if it was up to hubby he'd leave tree up year round.lol 1
shopping4my3son Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 I bought a new tree from Target yesterday since they are 50% off. I did put it up today to make sure I still like it. I didn't decorate it yet or anything else. Maybe tomorrow some can get done since we are not doing Thanksgiving until Saturday.
jewleyp Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Houseguest not leaving until the tues after Thanksgiving so that will delay me. I don't like to have "extra help" when I am decorating! Mind you it's not physical help....lol live Tree will go up early in the week so it can drop before decorating
bamamomma Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Tree was completely decorated last night and wreaths outside. I tried talking hubby and son to put up the lights outside tonight but so far they are not getting with my program. They think tomorrow morning sounds better.
Chewbybell Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 it's driving me crazy that we aren't decorated! We just moved this week though and I have no idea where the Christmas stuff is much less do I have a living room to put it in as mine is covered with boxes.
mrsjackrabbit Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 We usually decorate the day after Thanksgiving, so I feel like we are behind. Lol. However, we went today and picked out our tree and decorated. So I am happy
Bopeep Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I am mostly done. I just have to get my new train set up under the tree. I hope it works out the way I see it in my mind .
hockeyfanamo Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Started decorating today! Little later start than normal but it is getting done.
Kanyon71 Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 We don't know when we will be in our new house yet (construction grumble grumble) so we went and bought a new fake tree Sunday and put it up. We got the iTwinkle tree from Lowes it's pretty cool.
