I ask this question in some capacity every year because I’m genuinely so curious as to how others do the holidays.
Normally, for us, as soon as Halloween is over and November 1st rolls around, we put away all the spiders and witches and candy and trade them for wreaths and bows and old-timey Christmas lights. We love Christmas (our favorite holiday) and want to celebrate it for as long as we can, which in our case means two months!
I know this is probably not the norm for most, and a lot of people don’t start decorating until December. But this year seems different. I’ve seen more and more people put up their holiday decorations earlier than usual in an (much needed) attempt to spread more cheer. It seems everyone is looking forward to enjoying the most wonderful time of the year (and all the warm, cozy feelings it brings) for as long as possible this year. Honestly, after 2020 has kicked pretty much everyone’s ass, couldn’t we all use a little more cheer?
So when do you decorate for the holidays? Do you start early like us or wait until December? Are you starting earlier than usual this year? Let’s discuss!
