Brad Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Seems like a lot of people are going to decorate earlier than usual this year due to *gestures broadly* ...everything. What about you GDers? Anyone actually start already? Waiting until after Thanksgiving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanyon71 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Cause 2020 is what I've been saying. Maybe they think they will get the rona from their Decorations. I wonder if Santa will have a mask on when he visits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracy0504 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I honestly don't know when I'll start this year... I'm in the mood now, but will probably wait until at least the end of October beginning of November...at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmck Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I won’t decorate until after Thanksgiving but that’s normal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magickallight Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Was wanting to decorate for fall this past weekend - BUT the hurricane warnings say NO! So - if we still have a standing house - maybe next weekend. For Christmas - probably on Black Friday - as I WILL NOT be leaving the house.

Brad Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 I usually put up some fall stuff right after Labor Day (did last week) and then Christmas right after Halloween. Nearly 2 months for each “season”. If there’s no “real” BF ads to worry about this year and I’m not as busy next month I might put up the Christmas lights earlier while the weather isn’t too bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeddiva Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Technically, tomorrow [emoji6] We have a 99 day countdown clock that we put in the window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bopeep Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I figure I'll stick to my usual. I'll probably do the bathroom right before Thanksgiving, and everything else Thanksgiving weekend. I didn't put up my traditional tree last year, so I'm looking forward to having it back this year (was going to get a new one from Home Depot, but now I'm wondering if they'll do their annual great Christmas tree deal, lol). I need to find a cute, affordable, gate to go around the tree though. My cat is old, and she has decided to forego the litter box about half the time (gross, I know). I hate to keep her out from under the tree when she's always loved getting under there, but I don't want to have to crawl under the tree to shampoo the carpet every day either.

Suzy Crampton Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) I went to Hobby Lobby last week and it took everything I had to not race home and start decorating the house for Christmas Edited September 15, 2020 by Suzy Crampton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyreejames Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I will be doing fall decorations this weekend. I will more than likely hold off on Christmas until Black Friday or possibly the day before Thanksgiving. I have decided that I will only put up one tree this year. Last year was my first holiday season after losing my sister. I forced myself through the motions in hopes of feeling better. It did not help and just left me feeling more drained. So this year I will only put up the living room tree and the outside decorations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikefree Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I haven't been decorating as much these past several years but will probably wait till after Thanksgiving just like every other year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinholt1 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Cause 2020 is what I've been saying. Maybe they think they will get the rona from their Decorations. I wonder if Santa will have a mask on when he visits? LOL Santa better be wearing a mask! He's in a high risk group, he's a senior and he is over weight, and he is male. I don't want to see Santa in my ER .... unless of course he is there just to drop off PPE or toilet paper! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Mommy Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I normally don’t start decorating until Black Friday. I will probably do it before that this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doresia Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I bought some stuff at Dollar Tree to start some Christmas crafts. My daughter walked in while I was un-bagging it and walked backwards like she was scared saying "what are you doing?! It's September. Halloween first!" So I'll probably decorate for Christmas on Thanksgiving weekend just like every other year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanShotFirst Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Ugh. I’m not feeling the decorating yet this year at all. I usually have my entire house “falled up” in early September but as of now I have only a small Halloween section at the front door and no desire to drag out the fall stuff. 2020 has drained me physically (because healthcare worker) and emotionally (because the current state of the world) so not sure what I will do for Christmas decorating yet. I did loved seeing the Christmas trees out at Walmart the other day so hoping as they get more and more stuff out I’ll get in the mood. I guess I should go to Hobby Lobby again to get in the spirit.

jesusluvu Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 So, looked out my window this morning and some of my neighbors have fully decorated outside. I know I did not leave the house yesterday but dang.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzy Crampton Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Was at Menards this weekend and saw all their Christmas stuff was out. I did good and stayed away from it, but now I want to decorate for Christmas so badly. I've been listening to Christmas music off and on for a week or so now and I am ready to jump into the season. Hubby does not feel the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I'll decorate for fall during this week or this coming weekend. Then Halloween a couple weeks later.I always start Christmas decorating the Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving, and I expect to do the same this year.

lucyismycat Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 We have decided as a family to have a smaller Thanksgiving family get-together this year (not ALL of the extended family), and my mother has decided she would like to host this dinner at her house. This means I can start decorating for Christmas ANY TIME I WANT! Probably shortly after Halloween, Christmas will start popping up. Fall stuff going up this weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colemandawn4905 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I was watching a TikTok where a woman wanted to decorate for Halloween n her hubby said it was to early so she decided to put 1 small Christmas decoration out every day to see how long it took him to notice. It was so funny. Took him 7 days. He told her fine decorate for Halloween lol so she put the Christmas back and put the Halloween out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illinoismom Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I have had several health issues, then both my children had life changing issues so my Christmas living room was never taken down. I look at it as one less room I need to decorate well as soon as the extra furniture from my kids is removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesusluvu Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Fall decorations were completed this weekend but I think I will put out the Christmas decorations early. I feel we all need some extra holiday cheer this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcwalker Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 We don't start decorating until after Thanksgiving, as I like to keep the holidays separate. This year my wife and daughter want to visit family in Kentucky for an extended time in December, in part due to my daughter's changed college schedule and just to get out of the city, but I will probably stay home longer and join them just before Christmas. So we will probably do little or no decoration at home (no tree) this year. So here is my decoration for this year: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msyves Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Typically I start decorating on Thanksgiving day right after dinner. However, this year we're having work done in the house and we have stuff all over the great room. Hopefully the work will be done before then and I can get back to making my home Christmassy.
