When do you plan to decorate?

When  do you plan to decorate for Christmas

now that Halloween is over?

 

When I was out to the store this morning,

I saw one house decorated.

No plans to decorate except for my nativity set which I will set up the day after Thanksgiving.

My house is decorated for harvest for October & November. My Halloween items are a lighted Jack-o-lantern in my front window (already put away) and a large candy bowl for trick or treaters. It's still sitting out with left over candy in it. 

After Thanksgiving I will put away my harvest decorations and put up Christmas decorations & leave them up through Epiphany. 

I was out running errands this morning, and I didn't see any Christmas decorations on houses yet. Plenty in stores though.

I wait a little bit.  Probably the 9th or 10th of December.  Leave it up till after Epiphany.  I may put a wreath on our door the first weekend in December to get started.

@Alsace Gal, I hope the painting and carpet installation are completed for you to decorate the week of Thanksgiving. Your sister will  be watching over you and will want you to be happy.

I will start next week.

We will be away over Thanksgiving and I like the house decorated on the inside for when we get home.

The outside will get done the first week of December.

@RetRN 

Thank you. 
During CIL, I purchased a 3ft flocked tree, I thought she would like it. 
My dear sister loved our blue tree which we decorated for 4 years, we eventually sold it. 
I saw a 5ft pink tree (her favorite color) and ordered it. I'll put both trees up, the pink on the living room and the 3ft in the kitchen or her bedroom where I now sleep.
