Christmas on the Brain

As of today, we're officially 2-weeks from Thanksgiving but I'm already thinking Christmas.
I'm not generally like that but I think it has to do with the planning of Shelby's 1st birthday that has me ready to put holiday decor out.
I just can't do it as much as I would like to.
Thanksgiving is a special time too and I think it's sad that so many people overlook it and move right to Christmas.
Thoughts?
When do you put our your holiday decor?
I put mine up the day after Thanksgiving.

We typically wait until the day after Thanksgiving, but the tree is going up this weekend for us. We're out of town for 4 days with Caroline in town, so when we return from our trip with her, we celebrate Christmas.....so have to have everything in place for that. No complaints from me. I love Thanksgiving! But, I'm also OVER Christmas when it's over....and take down everything the day or so after.....so going up early is fine with me. This year will be so fun for all of you!!!!! Enjoy!

I'm feeling the same way! I havevavstrict 'nothing goes up until after Thanksgiving' rule but since we are staying here for Christmas this year, everything that we order online must be in the mail by next week to guarantee delivery. I guess thats got me in the spirit...

We start the weekend after Thanksgiving. That Friday or Saturday we go to my dad's to get the tree and then set It up that weekend.

We always do it after Thanksgiving! Typically that Saturday if we're in town. I hate to rush the season! Thanksgiving is extra late this year, so I think that may be part of the reason so many feel "rushed" this year? Fun that you'll get to decorate with Christmas fun for Shelby's party!

We usually wait until after Thanksgiving, but it's already up this year since I'm pregnant. Just wanted to be able to help decorate before I'm too big and swollen to move. I love Thanksgiving too and it's not discounted just because I have Christmas decor up already. I have to admit that I love sitting out in the living room watching TV next to the lit up tree. Just makes your heart sing.

We decorate for christmas the day after Thanksgiving.

My house is completely decorated for Thanksgiving right now. I LOVE pumpkins and I always hate having to get rid of them. I even debated on painting them red, green or white last year and keeping them for Christmas decor. HA!!!

I'm almost finished with my Christmas shopping though :) woohoo!!

I put my Mom's Christmas tree up last weekend! The wrapping has already started in my house. It's never too early to get Christmas out. :)
