Luanne Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 All this snow has me thinking about Christmas. I guess it is a bit early, eh? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeefreak Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 It's 65-70 here but the answer to your question is, YES :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayle in Guatemala Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I've been listening to Christmas music for about a week now just because it's so peaceful and I've been sick. Today, my dc were asking about putting out some decorations! Nope. Too early yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRAAB Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Costco, Walmart and Lowes have Christmas trees on display - if that means anything. Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Nooooooooooooooo! Trees don't go up until Dec 20-something. I've even done it on the 24th just before our Christmas Eve dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inactive Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 We don't have snow YET... But this AM, we had the "decorating bug" and put up a few snowmen and cut some fresh fir and balsam for baskets and crocks...smells SO good!! :) (Now if only I had some of those red berries...) We'll probably wait until the first part of December to put up the tree... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 No, dear, not yet. You must wait at least until Thanksgiving weekend. Sorry. I don't make the rules; I just enforce them.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 We never took ours down. :001_huh::D It's the perfect shape (tall & thin) to add some height behind our couch. The twinkle lights finally died and we did remove the ornaments, but it will make decorating this year so much easier. It was dh's idea and you kind of forget it's supposed to be a Christmas tree after a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammyla Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I always love to have all of ours up by Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't make the rules; I just enforce them.:lol: :iagree: I've been on the board long enough to know that there are many people who disagree with me on this (well, and everything else:lol:), but for me personally, it cheapens Christmas to stretch the season. In fact, I'm trying to move more toward Advent followed by 12 days of Christmas, but my family's not entirely on board. Besides, it interferes with celebrating fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving if the Christmas decorations are up. :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have some Halloween decorations I will probably put up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put it up and decorated ----I took it down when I was visiting his house in August. He told me the reason he didn't take it down was it took up his vacant corner and without the tree his room looked bare. Of course he left his fully decorated! But in response to the original ? ---yes it's too early to decorate for Christmas. Of course, if we actually had snow I might feel differently ---but in SC the chances of snow are minimal at best. We are still in shorts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
