Thanksgiving weekend is usually taken up with going out and cutting down a tree and actually getting it into the house and starting to get the lights on it. It's kind of a process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-11077 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:34:24 +0000 cyndistar3 11077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to do it right after thanksgiving but DH wants to wait a few weeks after :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-11071 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:31:52 +0000 Mrs. D 11071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up my mom had a rule, we each put up an ornament a day starting with December first for a couple weeks, that way we got to decorate without having to do it all at once.</p> <p>We'll probably have the same rule, but my husband won't be back from his current work trip until December 10th, which is when we'll decorate this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-10289 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 04:40:40 +0000 SweetMamaM 10289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad's birthday is the 10th of December so my mum never let us put up the decorations before Dad's birthday - it was usually the weekend after. We had the discussion just a couple of days ago that we want our tradition to be that we put out our decorations the first week of December - I'm thinking that we'll do our Christmas open house in the earlier part of December as my bestie is due with her first on the 19th, so they'll need to be up by then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-10205 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 19:31:59 +0000 MsMini 10205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually start the first week of December, especially since we do a real tree every year. That way it still looks and smells good for Christmas. I find it odd when people decorate before Rememberance day, kind of like they are skipping over/don't care about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-10173 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:32:58 +0000 sorrycharlie 10173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also go crazy the weekend of thanksgiving. sometimes, the week before, if I have nothing else to distract me from doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-10103 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 15:46:54 +0000 Boogs 10103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually put things up the weekend of Thanksgiving, that way we can enjoy the decor for about a good month. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-10023 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 13:03:00 +0000 PastaAndPotato 10023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>usually a week or 2 after thanksgiving - my husband works every other weekend, so whichever one he has off </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-10021 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 13:01:36 +0000 cvbee 10021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a first of December kind of gal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-9999 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 12:31:45 +0000 MH.Abroad 9999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Day after Thanksgiving.

I can't wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-8377 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:39:09 +0000 peachybee 8377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually the weeknd after thanksgiving </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-8342 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:21:07 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 8342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to put them up the weekend after Thanksgiving. I've already been shopping for a lot of new decorations since we just moved to a house this year. It's a little daunting since our neighborhood is REALLY into decorating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-8338 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:19:57 +0000 BSB 8338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whenever my husband does. haha. He's more into christmas then I am and he has a whole tradition on what music to play and what movies to watch. I just help out when he does start decorating. </p> <p>Oh, I do also help out by putting the dog into cute outfits that she LOVES! ;) lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-8334 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:16:46 +0000 meaganceleste 8334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a stickler on not putting out Xmas decor until after Thanksgiving! We always spend the holidays at my parents so we just have a teeny-tiny tree for us although this year since we have a fireplace, I'm going to make stockings I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-8229 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:13:25 +0000 PBandBaseball 8229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My birthday is in mid-December and my mom always waited until the day after my birthday to put everything up because she didn't want to overshadow my day. Now I usually put everything up the first weekend in December because I want to have time to actually enjoy all of my hard work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-8064 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:20:46 +0000 theotherstark 8064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, we just got married and I don't have any decorations yet, so that settles things :) I'm looking forward to slowly acquiring decorations, though! Makes me happy to think about. </p> <p>When we do have decorations, I imagine we won't put ours up til after Thanksgiving, but I LOVE seeing all of the stores all decked out already :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-8057 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 09:55:45 +0000 HabesBabe 8057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put everything out over the long weekend (Thanksgiving). We usually get a real tree, so we don't have much of a choice when that stuff goes up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-8051 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 09:44:11 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 8051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we are putting up the lights this weekend too. Ya, I'll wait until one neighbor lights theirs and then I'll turn mine one. I hate being the first. haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-7987 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 08:37:08 +0000 LazyLightning 7987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan to put the lights up this weekend, but i won't light them until after thanksgiving. I just want to get them up before we get a lot of snow--we usually get some kind of nasty snowstorm around thanksgiving and it is NOT pleasant to be outside on a ladder! The tree will wait until after thanksgiving too. Maybe even closer to Christmas--the cats go after it and it drives me nuts!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-7775 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 11:48:28 +0000 hreichard 7775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha....i actually want to put mine up right not too...lol! I guess i will wait until the day after Thanksgiving. I cant wait until Jovani lays his eyes on it...hopefully not his hands though...lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-7774 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 11:38:30 +0000 DillonLion 7774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've hosted Thanksgiving for the past couple of years and for whatever reason, my husband always demands that the Xmas tree is UP for Thanksgiving. We will probably start putting up winter decorations in the next couple of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-7748 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:53:59 +0000 singingbee 7748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We typically don't decorate until the weekend after Thanksgiving and I take all of the time from then until Christmas to finish decorating. THen,, we leave ours up until the Feast of Ephiphany. However, this is our first Christmas as a married couple and I'm so excited about it! We are getting a new tree that is prelit and we just have a lot of cool stuff to put out. Last year we were getting ready to get married in less than a month and I just didn't have it in me to do a big tree, so this year we are going all out. I will put up some THanksgiving stuff, but we are decorating Christmas on Hubby's next long weekend, (NOvember 19).</p> <p>I'll admit, though, that I'm really tempted to start decorating tonight when I take down the Halloween decorations. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-7734 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:35:13 +0000 jennylynn 7734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do it the weekend after Thanksgiving also. I don't know what it is this year, but I'm seriously itching to get the Christmas stuff out now!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-7732 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:33:37 +0000 MaisyMay 7732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've normally done sometime in the beginning of December, but since we have a fake tree this year (real all others), we might change that. We won't do a ton of decorating, just a tree and maybe some lights along our balcony. We'll see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-7687 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:37:29 +0000 mediagirl 7687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will decorate the weekend after Thanksgiving. My parents are going to be in town so I think my Dad and husband will have to get all of the decorations out of the scuttle-hole attic this year. My husband has told me that I am not allowed to go into the attic this year. Hrmph. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-7684 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:33:57 +0000 Adira 7684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed with others! After Thanksgiving! Especially since my hubs and I are hosting Thanksgiving this year, I want to have Autumn decor up and not Christmas decorations, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-7678 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:29:53 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 7678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ya our thanksgiving is in October (I never understood why we had a different date then you US peeps) so ya, clearly my tree will be up before your thanksgiving. ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-7672 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:15:30 +0000 mamabolt 7672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe the weekend after Thanksgiving? We are hosting Thanksgiving this year, and although my mom leaves her tree up year-round so she wouldn't think it was weird, my MIL might think we were a little strange to have it up before that.</p> <p>Growing up we always put the tree up for my birthday which is the first week of December. I loved celebrating my birthday that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-are-you-putting-up-your-xmas-decorations#post-7635 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 20:26:25 +0000 tessabella76 7635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll start after Thanksgiving. We get a real tree, so we'll wait a little bit longer for that. I can't wait! </p>
