Anytime's too early, if you ask me.
No particular religious objections, it's just that Christmas decorations are so damn ugly.
The only acceptable place for Christmas decorations is Santa Island, home of Captain Santa!

Jesus.

No. I've no interest in putting all that stuff up until it's waaaay closer to Christmas. Seems like the ho ho ho starts earlier every year.

Its not 5 weeks every year...

I think it depends on how the weekends line up...

But as the poll shows....


most people are choosing week after turkey day....no matter when it falls....

but thanks for contributing to this pole...

Right around Thanksgiving is fine, earlier is bad!!

The mall I occassionally work in already has had a Christmas tree up, decorations, and been playing music for a week now. It all started going up before the first of November. Im going to be so sick of this holiday before thanksgiving is even here. :(

i was gonna make this lol...i saw someone tonight with lights up already /shrug

i dont start to setup for xmas til after turkey day..

Mine went up two days ago. I'd say any lights up before 2 days ago is way too early.

I'm a firm believer in that you shouldn't set up stuff before Thanksgiving - a very important holiday being tossed aside so people can buy gifts earlier than they need to be. Also, what the crap, it hasn't even snowed yet. Lights hanging up with leaves still on trees just seems wrong.

I love the Holiday as much as the next person, but setting up for the Holiday this ridiculously early is a tad overboard in my book. But once the snow comes around, go for it and set up dem lights! One of the best parts of the Holiday.

There are no less than three people on our street that have their decorations up and lit already. I can understand taking advantage of the remaining nice weather to get some of your outdoor tasks completed. But to actual plug the lights in every night, and its not even Thanksgiving yet? Gimmie a break!

I think traditionally any time after Dec 1 is ok. On the flip side to the question when do you take your tree down? One year we were so lazy it stayed up until mid March before we took it down!
