Since I have an artificial tree, I decorate the week of Thanksgiving. I would never start decorating in July. Now I am not sure what people do that have extravagant display of lights. I believe they need several months in advance.

I usually decorate right after Thanksgiving. Is there a reason your family wants to decorate so early? What about fall decorations? I love decorating with my autumn decor and I would hate to miss out on that.

I don't decorate until November. There are a couple posters here that leave their trees up year round. Do what makes you and your family happy. 🎅🎄📯

Weve always decorated the week of Thanksgiving too. Outdoor lights usually get put up around September and not turned on until November. I guess family is feeling the Christmas spirit early!

I wait until December, two or three weeks before Christmas. I remove it all after New Year's, it's such a relief.

We decorate after Thanksgiving and I will clean the decorations half way through the holidays but by the 1st of Jan I have plenty of dust to clean off all my decorations, I can't imagine the effort to clean this stuff every week for six months.... 'nuff said.

No. I'm afraid some things are not relative. There is, in fact, an objective silly factor... Decorating for Christmas in June in the absence of any bona fide reason to do so crosses that line...
