I've got the main tree up. It's got fall colors for decoration (burgundy, purple and gold). I've also got white lights I hang under my kitchen cabinets during daylights savings time. I call them my anti-depressant lights.

That would be a negative.

No way. One holiday at a time please.

I won't haul out the indoor decorations until the day after Thanksgiving.

HOWEVER....our outside decorations have been up since right before Halloween. DH hates putting lights on the roof of the house when it is slippery and snow is going down his neck. Plus, the ground will be froze for my in-ground decorations if we wait until mid-December. A lot of people do the same thing here, because our weather can turn miserable very, very quickly.

The lights do not get turned on until after Thanksgiving. I want to enjoy each holiday separately, not all blurred together.

At this point, I am packing up the items that are where Christmas decorations are going. Should be done by Friday, then will work on Christmas decorating. Tree and wreaths wont go up till Thanksgiving.

I will start getting organized on turkey day....and will start decorating the day after. For me...now is still too early!

I love snow globes!

The only thing I've put out is a new hand towel I bought last night - just couldn't wait to see it up in my bathroom. I did hang my outdoor lights, but they're not on yet. I probably won't put stuff up until the day after Thanksgiving (although the lights go on Thanksgiving night!)

I always decorate sometime Thanksgiving weekend too.

Have very rigid Christmas decoration and Christmas song rules at this house. No Christmas until after Thanksgiving.

That said

Buddy has been practicing Christmas song on the cello for a few months now. Little Miss is starting to learning Christmas songs on the keyboard at school.

Little Miss made a power point presentation on Swedish Christmas traditions. Had to pull out Christmas decorations to photograph for the presentation.

I took the opportunity of the Christmas decorations photo shoot to change my avatar .
<=== isn't he cute?
