How soon is too soon?
I’m one of those people who HATES to wait to use new things. If I buy new clothes, I want to wear them right away. New shoes, same thing. Even something as dumb as a new kind of shampoo – I want to jump in the shower and wash my hair.
I went to the store today and bought a whole bunch of cute Christmas stuff, and now I’m of course wanting to put it up and decorate. I usually wait until after Thanksgiving to put up the tree and decorate the front porch, but awwwww. . . . Thanksgiving is a whole week away! I don’t want to wait! But at the same time, I don’t want to be annoying – one of those people who “rushes” the season by decorating too early. I’ll probably wait anyways, because I noticed on my drive home that no one else had decorations up yet, but I was wondering when all of you start decorating your homes or put up your trees?
Always right after Thanksgiving for me.
We put our tree up the day after Halloween
Figured that it suited our dorky family so no explanations needed! C–
I never take it down…
I am bah-humbuggy this year so i will wait til the last possible minute. however, if i had just bought cute new christmas goodies for your cute little house (yes, your) i would want to put them up, too! it’s only a week! cheat on it!
indulge thyself, o bringer of cheer!
besides, if you’ve got the spirit, you’re doing better than most of us.
hey! i know! you could take pictures of the cute christmas items and upload them to let your friends see your cheer!!! (mmmmhar! – a way to use the new item AND stifle early trimming! i am filled with pure and unadulterated genius!!!!)
*Kisses!
I put up my tree this weekend because of you.
