I have 1 or 2 Thanksgiving decorations. Christmas stuff will be put up a few days after Thanksgiving, whenever we get to it. I have neighbors that go WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY overboard and after 8 years of this, it has kind of sucked the joy out of Christmas decorations for me. I'm definitely becoming a Scrooge.

Some garland on the front porch and a pretty wreath on the door, plus the Christmas tree, and a nice Christmas CD playing in the background, are all I need.

	I just put up window clings for Thanksgiving, but Christmas we go all out and we start the day after Thanksgiving. (nt) - Alex 11/05/2009 03:24
	I put stuff up on Nov 1 when I took down the Halloween stuff. I figure just get in the boxes once. I love Thanksgiving. I've got window clings, turkey windsock, turkey wreath on the door and other cornucopias and stuff sitting in the house. We don't do Christmas stuff until after 12/12, ds's birthday.

	I have neighbors that start Christmas decorating on Nov. 1. And was so surprised to see some in a yard before Halloween this year (nt) - gelsum 11/05/2009 13:58
	i put an autumn wreath on the door...i usually put the christmas tree up the day after thanksgiving, however this year, with the way izzy has been behaving lately (destructo boy to the max!) i am going to wait as long as possible! (nt) - serialmommy 11/05/2009 20:27
	Christmas decorations go up about 2 weeks before Christmas. If Michael had his way, they'd go up on Christmas Eve, to mark the end of Advent properly. Either way, they come down on Jan 5th, or they turn into hobgoblins on Twelfth Night/Epiphany! (nt) - mini-mug 11/06/2009 22:17
	I like to start right after Thanksgiving, but I always end up feeling overwhelmed & the last few years it seems like I run out of time before I really get it the way I want it to be. (nt) - Denise1066 11/07/2009 14:45
	Christmas is the only holiday I really decorate for all year. (nt) - Denise1066 11/07/2009 15:34
