Ah, the age-old question: when is it the right time to start decking the halls? Do you wait until December like “normal people,”, or do you keep that festive spirit going as long as possible and throw up the twinkling lights in November? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
The "Before Thanksgiving" Rebels (a.k.a. The Early Birds)
Some people just can’t help themselves and pull out the decorations as soon as the last trick-or-treater leaves. If you’re one of these early decorators, you’re probably a Christmas superfan who can’t wait to bask in the glow of twinkling lights and festive cheer, and for as long as you can. It’s a bold move, but hey, if you want to make the most of the season, go for it. Just be prepared for a few raised eyebrows from the “can’t we just enjoy Thanksgiving” crowd.
The “Right After Thanksgiving” Crowd
For most people, the unofficial start of Christmas decorating is the weekend after Thanksgiving. It’s when you can pull out all the stops—set up the tree, hang the wreaths, and twirl those lights around the bannister without anyone giving you weird looks. Plus, with Black Friday sales in full swing, it’s the perfect time to stock up on any last-minute décor.
This timeline is tried and true, so if you’re a stickler for tradition, this is the sweet spot.
The “12 Days of Christmas” Enthusiasts
If you prefer a more leisurely approach, decorating in early December is for you. Some families even kick things off on December 1st, marking the start of Advent. This gives you plenty of time to ease into the holiday season without feeling rushed, and you can enjoy the decorations for all 12 days of Christmas leading up to New Year's Day.
Bonus: You’ll avoid burnout. Christmas can feel like a marathon, so taking it slow allows you to savor every moment.
In Conclusion: Whenever Feels Right for YOU
At the end of the day, there’s no wrong time to decorate for Christmas. Whether you’re an early bird, a traditionalist, or someone who likes to ease into the holiday cheer, the best time to decorate is when you’re ready to spread that festive spirit.
So, whether it’s November 1st or December 20th, let the lights shine bright and the joy fill the air! 🌟
