Re: When Do Your Christmas Decorations Go Up?

It's just the 2 of us....we don't entertain anymore, and we spend holiday get-togethers with family at their homes. So - I'll get my little ceramic tree out a couple of weeks before Christmas. Other than that I don't do much seasonal decorating anymore.

Re: When Do Your Christmas Decorations Go Up?

I don't do much decorating for Christmas anymore.  Sometime between the day after Thanksgiving and December 1st I will hang my wreath on the front door.  I have two or three small nativity sets that I put out.  This year I ordered a Mr. Christmas lighted tree from Amazon.  I'm excited about putting it out.  That's about all I do.

I put mine up on Nov 1st this year. I dont usually.  Dont have a tree and not sure if I will buy one or not.  I will put the wreath on the door later in the month or when I see others decorating outside.Woman Happy

If we are home, the day after Thanksgiving and everything comes down the day after Christmas....along with a heavy house cleaning.

The day after Thanksgiving! I spend that Friday all day decorating! My Granddaughters are coming down and helping and then spend the night!

Re: When Do Your Christmas Decorations Go Up?

I'm targeting the dates of Nov. 16 to 20 to start decorating indoors.  I love Christmas and always decorate each room for the season.  Decorations stay up through Epiphany (Jan. 6th).   I make my own wreaths for the front and back doors so the time frame depends on when I finish them in terms of outdoor decor.  I don't have all the supplies needed for them at this time. 

 

I have a lot of Christopher Radko pieces, a Santa collection, a Snowmen collection and an Angel collection that I use in room by room decor.  I also have a 6'-7' pencil tree filled with old and new ornaments.  I have a Nativity set that is displayed on my living room sofa table.

I normally put it all up the first weekend in December and then it comes down on NewYears day. I enjoy it while it's up but I'm always anxious to get the house back to normal again!

The evening of Thanksgiving or the next day.
