Re: A Question About How You Decorate............

[ Edited ]

In September I decorate for fall....and the first week in November I put the fall stuff away and decorate for Christmas....I stopped decorating for Thanksgiving...My Christmas decor is more labor intenstive for me so I want to enjoy that longer...and I dont entertain guests at my home for Thanksgiving anyway, we go out to a restaurant (although this year will be different it will be a take out Thanksgiving dinner from a favorite restaurant that 5 of us will enjoy at my sister's home.....)

I'm sure that they might have gotten out before weather gets bad (assuming here it is a colder climate) or while they had the free time, to get the Christmas stuff out. 

 

I put a few pumpkins and such out for fall, but virtually nothing for Christmas. Still, I want to fully exhaust the fall things before the winter or Christmas goes up. 

 

Mixed to me, is a mess.

One holiday at a time for me. I don’t have a lot, but my fall decorations are up in October & November. They are put away when Christmas decorations go up after Thanksgiving.

@chlema  Slow, and steady wins the race.😂

 

It is so nice when we can step back, and marvel at our challenging, yet rewarding effort! If it brings joy to just one person and makes them smile, it was all worthwhile.😁
