I'm putting away my Halloween stuff and I'm tempted to just pull out the Christmas decorations. Obviously it's too early for a real tree but what about the snowmen and santas?
When do you put out your decorations?

I try and hold out until after Thanksgiving. That's just too weird for me having thanksgiving dinner with a nutcracker on the table. Conflict of holidays.
My birthday is on Nov 30th so when I was a kid I would NEVER let my mom decorate for Christmas before my birthday. That was like skipping a whole 'nother holiday! But now that I live with roomates who all go home for thanksgiving, I like to surprise them by having Christmas all set up when they get home.

I have been twitching to put up my Christmas stuff already too.as soon as i took down all my Halloween decorations,my living room is bare and knick-knack free.why bother putting out my regular stuff,only to be packed away for the xmas decor soooo,but until then ,its sooo depressiong and gloomy in my living room.
I have worked retail for about the last 10 years of my life,and if i don't do it early,i get so fed up with all the christmas hussle and bussle,i wont want to put it up.i always put them up a week or more before thanksgiving.as we all know the day after thanksgiving i will be working a manditory retail work day,and i will be to tired to do it.SOOO :when ever you want to or have time to,~put it up!!!!then sit back and enjoy it..
oh by the way,,my neighbor 2 years ago put up huge blow up igloos,peguins,and santas on his front lawn,3 weeks before HALLOWEEN!!!,kids had to trick or treat through that crap!!!..Halloween is my favorite holiday,so at least i have the brains to wait till Halloween is over...and he must of got so much crap for doing that,he hasnt done it sinse hehehe...oh and and hes a cop...no brains!hahahahaha

My family puts them up a day or two before Thanksgiving. The Christmas tree lights are on while we're eating. It's really nice.

I like to wait until the magical Christmas elves put it all up for me...JK I'm just too lazy to take them down. Whatever you do, don't make your decision based on the Retail World's schedule, or you'd have "Jingle Bells" playing through little speakers on your front porch the day after Labor day!
Seriously, whenever you wanna get all Christmassy. Get a cute boy to help you hang the lights, make some eggnog and critics be damned!

Some people do it the day after Thanksgiving others do it on the first day of December, then you have the occasional slacker who doesn't do it until Christmas eve. It all depends on what you prefer. I'd personally go for the end of November.
