I've pulled out the Christmas movies and music already...I think I'll wait till after Remembrance Day to decorate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1177070 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 12:46:48 +0000 swedishfish 1177070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: you can at least do Hanukkah because it starts at the end of November this year! I'll probably wait till after Thanksgiving for Christmas though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1177056 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 12:37:40 +0000 Happygal 1177056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wait until Thanksgiving. We keep our tree up until New Year's. I get kind of tired of it all and am ready for it all to be away, so a month is good enough for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1177039 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 12:22:00 +0000 Mae 1177039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha that is awesome. I never decorate before Thanksgiving (stupid America having it so late! lol) but if I was in Canada I'd probably decorate earlier! As it is I always drag all my Christmas stuff out the Saturday after Thanksgiving, so basically ASAP. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1177036 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 12:20:07 +0000 Arden 1177036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, if you're crazy than I am too. </p> <p>I also have nearly all my gifts bought. I've been wanting to decorate for weeks now. My husband would totally be on board (he's very much the "if it make you happy than why wouldn't you?" type), but I don't want to make Thanksgiving less special by having Christmas before it. </p> <p>So... I guess I need some creative Thanksgiving decorations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176974 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 11:16:31 +0000 MsMamaBear 1176974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why not? There are commercials on tv!LOL! I want to, but don't feel like dragging all of that stuff out of the garage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176967 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 11:06:59 +0000 jh524 1176967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: ahh, well with that said then go for it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176953 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 10:54:49 +0000 babycanuck 1176953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALV91711: It's ok, when you do it for DS's second Christmas it will be more exciting. At that age he will get more out opening gifts, the glitter, etc. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176946 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 10:52:01 +0000 Marfi 1176946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: I am having the same feeling! We bought our Christmas tree last year but never got to put it up! I really want to put it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176939 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 10:46:23 +0000 ALV91711 1176939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it makes you happy then do it. </p> <p>Sadly this year I won't be able to decorate until a few days before Christmas since we are moving the week before. And I wanted to go all out since it is DS first Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176918 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 10:19:10 +0000 wonderstruck 1176918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it's still October! lol. And what about Thanksgiving? (ETA: I should probably check where people are from, or at least look at their username, before assuming they celebrate Thanksgiving at the same time as me. Whoops!)</p> <p>I reflexively try to not think about how soon the holidays are because I worked retail for 8 years and dreaded the madness of crazy customers that starts on Black Friday and doesn't end until the New Year. Then I remember I'm allowed to look forward to it now that I'm a SAHM this year. But I'm still not decorating until after Thanksgiving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176917 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 10:18:07 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1176917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do it if it wasn't so much work! I don't think we will decorate this year. With remodeling, setting up the nursery, and being very pregnant with twins (EDD 1/30) a part of me just doesn't want to mess with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176916 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 10:17:13 +0000 babycanuck 1176916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: haha ours are blue and white, they aren't plugged in yet, just sitting there. Canadian Thanksgiving has passed! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176915 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 10:16:03 +0000 Lindsay05 1176915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do it! We usually don't get a xmas tree until December and it's gone by New Years. I would love to start now! I am so excited for Halloween to be over so the holidays can start up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176913 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 10:13:27 +0000 jh524 1176913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! I put out lights on my back porch last week, but they're white lights so it's not technically Christmas-y. Yes, your totally bananas because it's not even thanksgiving yet!! Lol :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176894 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 10:02:10 +0000 babycanuck 1176894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: Haha my husband started putting up lights with a roofer two weekends ago!! I've been holding back until after halloween to do things inside, but I'm in a reorganizing mood and that includes all of the holiday stuff. Really we only have a small tree, my electric menorah will go in the front window the week that Chanukah starts ;)</p> <p>I will say though.....the gifts I have bought are wrapped and sitting in the living room. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176881 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 09:54:39 +0000 Reese 1176881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: ..put down the wreath... step away from the menorah... nobody gets hurt.. :wink: </p> <p>I wouldn't do any outdoor stuff but if you feel like you are going to go through some holiday withdrawal I would go ahead with some indoor decor. I am an early starter too.. sometimes just having the boxes ready in my living area to get a peak at our beautiful ornaments ties me over until at least the beginning of November. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176879 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 09:53:49 +0000 hellocupcake 1176879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also decorate on Black Friday. I would LOVE to decorate sooner but then I think about how LO is mobile now and I don't want to worry about her getting into stuff for a month longer (: If I could I would so my vote is go for it! (: I'm a pusher though... (: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176874 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 09:51:57 +0000 photojane 1176874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DO IT! If my husband would let me, I'd do it in August. I'm forced to wait until after Thanksgiving. :( :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176871 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 09:51:00 +0000 yellowbird 1176871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to decorate the first weekend in november. We might actually do it! This is our first year in our house, so we might as well go all out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176866 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 09:49:22 +0000 rawrasaur 1176866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, probably, but you should do it anyways! Christmas decorations always put me in a better mood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176818 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 08:59:25 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1176818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! I'm the same way. We moved a lot of furniture around for a bday party and don't want to move anything back because it's where the Xmas tree goes!</p> <p>If I had it my way id start decorating November first. My husband has a strict Black Friday policy :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176816 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 08:58:35 +0000 jmarionsmith 1176816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>go for it! i wish i had the energy to be so excited! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-too-early#post-1176815 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 08:57:04 +0000 babycanuck 1176815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>to decorate for the holidays? We aren't giving out candy this year for Halloween - I'm going to spend the evening at my sister's with her kids but I'm itching to pull out all of our Christmas and Chanukah decor.</p> <p>Am I totally bananas? </p> [attach=3275/13/mvbyr5.499x324.crazy.jpg]
