It's been a tradition in my home to began decorating for Christmas 11:59 pm or earlier that evening on the evening of the 31st of Oct. for Christmas. The main tree nor does the porch or windows get decorated until the day after thanksgiving.
I usually break out the scented pinecones and candles (sometimes these two things come out even earlier), snowmen, pine branched garlands, my Christmas boyds bears, and my mini trees and signs. I am getting excited just typing this. My lighted houses that I usually put atop of my entertainment center go up the week of Thanksgiving. This year we will be having Thanksgiving dinner at my parents home on the eve of thanksgiving because its the only day my daughter will have off. I cant wait. I love the parade and all it's tradition for us to watch it every Thanksgiving. I cant wait to watch it with my grandson, Lord willing. I just love the Holidays!
Sherri, does it make the fall and Thanksgiving seem left out when you start getting the Christmas out soon like this? Sometimes I want to get started earlier but then I feel like I would "miss" my fall and Thanksgiving, which I dearly love.
ReplyDeleteYou always bless me with your excitement and total joy of the holidays girl!!
Not at all. I decorate for the fall the beginning of Sept. so by Nov. 1st I am ready for a change of decor by then I have had my fill of the fall decor, lol. I have always lumped Thanksgiving in with decorating for Christmas since it comes so close behind.
