For me, Christmas decorating begins the day after Thanksgiving.  I have all of my Christmas decor down in our basement, and even though I have it fairly organized, it is a big undertaking as I have to go up and down stairs probably a million times until I get everything up!

I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year, and I want my fall decorations up for my guests...otherwise, it would feel like Christmas dinner!  I may put X-mas into the swing of things in our front sitting/living room that we don't use much just so I can get a head-start before Thanksgiving, but that will be it.  I want the rest of the house to still be in the fall mode!

We leave our Christmas decorations up until the first week of January.

I went to WM this morning I saw a cute Elsa but expensive costume for my GD thought I'd surprise her when she come here tomorrow. Nope - gone was any sign of Halloween at 9:30 am!!! Replaced with all Christmas things even out front the poles were wrapped & holiday lights up in parking lot!

 

Then to CVS - yup same thing there

 

JCP - completely decorated and complete with Christmas music to shop by! (I went to the store that is neat & lots of sales staff).

 

Then tonight I see on TCM "It's a Wonderful Life" is on

 

too early for me😉


If your local stores just started putting out x-mas stuff yesterday, that's well after my local stores.  LOL

 

Our Walmart changed over the lawn and garden area to Christmas stuff several weeks ago.  Our Kohls has had x-mas stuff out for at least a month. 

 

Heck our grocery store had Halloween candy on the shelves by July 23.
