Christmas Decorating: How early is too early?
I have a few friends who started decorating for Christmas the day after Halloween. I've been giving them a hard time, as I have always been one who waits until the weekend after Thanksgiving. One friend of mine who lives in Texas puts up 10 trees and decorates them all (which having more than one tree is a whole other subject), so she said she needs to get started early. Another friend decorates the inside of her home throughout the month of November, but waits until the weekend after Thanksgiving to decorate outside. Certain stores even start selling trees and decorations before Halloween nowadays.

So, what how early do think is too early?

It depends on what the decoration is or where it will be placed. We start Thanksgiving day while the family is all together and go from there.

I guess if someone is going to pay another person or company to put up lights they might have to have it done on the installers schedule so that is another thing that would cause a variation in a wanted and actual timeline.

Friday night after Thanksgiving the tree goes up. Love setting up the tree with the Lady, listening to Christmas music, drinking wine. Warm and fuzzy.

Seems like people get earlier and earlier each year. I know a guy who's starts setting things up in September, but he has a huge presentation

I'm ok with you setting it up early like late October/early November.

But I don't think lights should be turned on until Thanksgiving.

But whatever makes people feel better about their miserable lives.

It sounds like most of you have fake trees. Anyone here still get real ones?

Always. Even in Phoenix. Not the same experience but because I am in Phoenix, I get a real one every year. Reminds me of home.

Our trees come from Oregon.

• Douglas fir
• Grand fir
• Noble fir
• Nordmann fir

appreciate that.. long ago though.. no problem.

Sucked to be so young to learn that Santa was merely my drunk, soiled father.. Santa trunks still down to his ankles.. face buried into the fallen tree.. bag with one shitty toy flipped over.. on Christmas morning.

Learned early that it was better to laugh than to cry...

Yeah, a shame that holidays can bring out so much stress, anxiety, and self-medicating.. instead of what it's truly meant to be eliciting.

cut an inch off the bottom before you put in water.

I would go fake but the wife still wants a real tree, so every year, we head up in the mountains to get one. It's only $5 for a permit and about a 1/2 hour drive from our house, depending on the roads. Plus the dog loves running around in the snowy woods so we go.

When we lived in Oregon, we loved the grand firs but natural firs here are too spindly. We usually get a blue spruce since they are sturdier when small. They are also prickly which helps keep the cats out of the tree.

Heh. We usually have to cut a foot or so off (see my picture). It's always a fresh cut.
