decorations

[ChristmasPenguin]

ok...don't make fun of me too much, but...today, august 23, i put my decorations up. not the whole house, as we have a family tradition of doing it on black friday, but in my room. I replaced my paper lanterns w/ christmas lights, all books on my shelf are xmas ones, i replaced my curtasins w/ our santa shower curtain, a couple wreaths hang over my windows, i flattened xmas gift bags,and they are hung on my walls, my angel is on my dresser , i flipped my beadspread over and now there's a xmas throw on top, my nutcracker display is up on the toy box i used as a little kid (it's empty, but i just can't get rid of it) and two mini trees, and currently working on getting up garland/tinsel, snowflakes, "let it snow" sign, inflatable tree, inflatible snowwman.

We have them up all year at the North Pole.

Christmas is a state of mind and it is one that more people should be in all year!

We leave ours up until springime, at least. I am going out this weekend to to buy a new white pre lit tree and guess where it is going. Yep, right in the living room. Boo hoo on all the Scrooges too bad they miss out on the smiles. Eveything should be up by third week in October, but nothing comes down until April (maybe) it may be up longer.

Three cheers to Mr and Mrs. Santa for all their dedication hard work.
It enables us elves to communicate!!!

I usually go November through December. Not quite as long as some. There are a few things that I have visible all year, but they are not the majority of it. (And no bah humbug from me, I think it is cool!)

You started pretty early, I can't start until after Halloween, don't want to confuse my 2 year old!

I applaud you guys getting in the Christmas spirit and getting up your decorations already or preparing too. I must admit at my house there not up till early December in full but a few bits start making their way in by the start of November, maybe a little earlier. Though I always have a little smile when I pass a house on the bus etc and see they have theirs up before December. Thats not too many but certainly a few!

[Chris]

I rarely see them up before mid-November although there are a lot of houses that do the Halloween decorating and then switch out to Christmas and Thanksgiving so that they have something up from the end of Sept through the new year. It is nice to see.

I put up one thing so far and may get talked into more this week.

It is a really cool 2 foot Christmas tree (not real, ceramic) with awesome decorations and lighting.
