Apparently it’s a big controversy.
-
Mine went upyesterday, three days after the rest of the street.
We have four new neighbors and they all have small children, so Christmas lights are a big deal this year.
-
I would have voted "let's celebrate Thanksgiving first"
-
I don't because I'm: too lazy, too old, recuperating from surgery, and the kids are gone. However, we get snow, so people start putting decorations/lights up when the weather is still good. I wish Thanksgiving was a week earlier so we could have a longer Christmas season.
-
We don't get much snow down here, but several people on the block had them up before Halloween.
I just think they must be happy people that like to celebrate. People that get their panties in a wad over it are a bunch of old curmudgeons.
Personally, I don't do them (outdoor decorations). We'll put up a little Charlie Brown Christmas tree sometime in mid-December.
-
We just put electric candles in all the windows, that’s it. Haven’t done them yet so I guess we’ll get around to them sometime after this week.

Christmas decorations go up all about the house on November 1st. Outside lights go up in October since we have a professional installer (VERY tall roof) and they give us a discount. But they don't turn on until mid-November along with the inflatables. Christmas comes down by mid-January. They must stay up until my wife's birthday.
When we were kids, my parents and us kids would put up Christmas at Thanksgiving, and everything would be down by New Year. My father said it was bad luck bringing last year into the new year.
-
I generally take down outside decorations on New a year’s Day while other people are nursing hangovers.
Inside decorations stay up until the twelfth day of Christmas, (Epiphany January 6th oddly enough).
-
Decorations go up the week after Thanksgiving. And they come down, weather depending, on Jan. 2.
