Since they're sitting in the middle of the playroom (next to the kitchen that I have to look at) I know I'm going to cave and do it sooner! The weather is suppose to be nice this weekend too, so I'm thinking of asking him to string the lights up, but we won't turn them on for a while. </p> <p>He also "ask" me to go through the boxes and consolidate so we don't have 6 totes :( I don't want to!</p> <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: Even wreaths?? Wow! I leave my wreath up for so long, I love the look. I'm sorry for you :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet/page/2#post-1225349 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 20:55:59 +0000 jaypegs 1225349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decorated this weekend. I normally wouldn't so early, but I'm 37 weeks and my in laws are visiting, so we were glad for the help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet/page/2#post-1225191 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 19:42:53 +0000 lovehoneybee 1225191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Even if I wanted to D would put his foot down. Thanksgiving is super important to us (moreso than Christmas) and we want to honor it before we move on to Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet/page/2#post-1225169 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 19:32:41 +0000 artsyfartsy 1225169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just got everything up!

Hopefully I will get in the spirit by Thanksgiving.</p> <p>I did order LO's stocking, so maybe that counts for something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224980 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 17:33:59 +0000 teamjse 1224980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't usually start until after Thanksgiving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224979 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 17:33:44 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1224979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we always do it the day after thanksgiving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224975 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 17:32:20 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1224975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: It really sucks! The earliest that we could put anything outside is Dec 11. Who seriously waits that long to put up lights?? It's not even worth climbing on the roof to do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224905 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:51:03 +0000 Boheme 1224905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: What?!!! That is not cool.</p> <p>We knew that with our schedules and our 5 month old, decorating would take us forever... So we've started doing things here and there. Hopefully we'll finish before Christmas :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224883 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:41:35 +0000 delight 1224883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning on getting a few decorations out this week. At least I'd like to decorate the mantel. We don't get our tree until mid-December. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224867 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:37:12 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1224867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got a note in our door from our HOA about decorating for Christmas today! They are restricting us to decorate no more than 2 weeks before and it all has to be taken down 1 week after Christmas!!! WTF. I'm seriously annoyed. Who only has their decorations up for 3 weeks!? UGH</p> <p>That's the outside decorations of course, but it includes window decor and wreaths. Bunch of scrooges. Bah humbug! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224861 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:34:53 +0000 yellowbird 1224861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: We started, but only because we will be out of town the next two weekends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224850 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:30:26 +0000 MrsStar 1224850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope I wait until december, we aren't going all out this year (boo!) but I'm planning to stock up on decorations when they go on clearance after christmas so I'll go overboard next year instead :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224831 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:24:09 +0000 mrskc 1224831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I love fall and my fall decor and I want to enjoy it as long as possible. I do Christmas decorations after Thanksgiving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224797 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:16:15 +0000 shinymama 1224797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. It's all about the brown and orange in our home right now. I usually decorate for Christmas on the first Sunday after Thanksgiving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224788 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:12:51 +0000 Reese 1224788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tonight!</p> <p>ETA: Canadian - we celebrated Thanksgiving weeks ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224780 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:08:44 +0000 shopaholic 1224780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I JUST literally pulled out Christmas decorations from the attic! I've swapped out a few Halloween decor for Christmas/Winter ones. We've never hosted anything for Thanksgiving yet, so we have very little "Fall" themed decor. The little bit of Fall stuff we have is still out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224736 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 15:52:52 +0000 blackbird 1224736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously, NO! We do it after Thanksgiving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224647 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 15:24:28 +0000 Ree723 1224647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did on Sunday! We don't have Thanksgiving here (sob, it's my favourite!) and I won't be going home for it, so we put the decorations up a bit early to make our place happy and festive, which will hopefully alleviate a bit of the homesickness.</p> <p>Also, as it is now summer here and beastly hot, I need something to make it feel like Christmas! With the air con blasting, I can sort of trick myself into believing I'm home...not really, but better than nothing. And really, I was too excited about seeing LO with the Christmas decorations this year to wait any longer. Normally though, we are 'weekend after Thanksgiving' people when it comes to decorating - just not this year!</p> <p>ETA: we don't have much for decorations - just our tree and a felt tree for LO. No outside lights or anything like that unfortunately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1224615 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 15:14:08 +0000 NCSUchick27 1224615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put our tree and stockings up yesterday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1223769 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:33:03 +0000 HellOnHeels 1223769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wanted so bad to decorate last night. Not the tree, but the lights and trinkets we put up. We didn't, but probably will this week. He loves Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1223768 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:32:52 +0000 mrsjyw 1223768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet-- we have A's party this wknd and some fall stuff out for it-- so we'll probably get started thanksgiving wknd! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1223767 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:32:51 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1223767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: @rawrasaur: My parents put ours on a tree (more for height). I loved it because there is a lot more room at the bottom for presents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1223757 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:28:40 +0000 lawbee11 1223757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha I haven't even put up our fall decorations yet. At this point I think I'll just skip those and decorate for Christmas the weekend after Thanksgiving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1223752 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:27:41 +0000 Alivoo01 1223752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Waiting till after Thanksgiving to put things up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1223748 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:27:20 +0000 .twist. 1223748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. However, I'd like to start soon since I host an Xmas party early in December for my husbands company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-decorated-for-christmas-yet#post-1223701 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:12:06 +0000 bpcmarj 1223701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As you may know from IG, DH and I talked about decorating before we travel for Thanksgiving since when we get back it will already be December and my sister will be here with us for a day and I want to pretend like we will have some Christmastime together. Well, he said we should wait, so we did. But, I came home from work last week and he bought us a new tree and ornaments and other decorations and set everything up as a surprise for P and I. I love it. </p>
