So has anybody started decorating for Christmas yet? I will admitt that I have been thinking about getting a few things out but I haven't yet. We will put the three up the weekend after Thanksgiving so I will probably do everything then. When do you start?

I'm counting down the days! As soon as we finish eating on Thanksgiving I'm sure I'll start breaking out the boxes

I always decorate the day after Thanksgiving. I let everyone else fight the crowds to save a few bucks LOL.
However, I am putting up the tree this weekend. Just the tree no ornaments yet. I want the dcks to get use to it being up before I add the "untouchables".Comment

Haha I have wanted to soooo bad and even wanted to start doing Christmas crafts. I refuse to let myself until at least after Thanksgiving to start any of that. Normally it's the first weekend in December so DH can help me.Comment

NO!! I think every holiday deserves their time and Thanksgiving gets the short end of the stick.
I take Halloween Down on Nov. 1st and won't put Christmas up until the weekend after Thanksgiving.

I am probably a weird one, but we put our tree up like 2 days before Christmas Eve and then while everyone is opening their presents, I am seriously taking the tree down and puting it away! It is NOT because I don't have Christmas spirit, it is just that I can't find the time to deal with all the decorations and stuff!! I have a tough time finding a spot for all the junk we keep in our house already that adding decorations just adds to the mess!!! LOL! I also don't decorate the daycare house with any holiday decorations either...except the arts and crafts the dck's make but other than that nothing. It is hard enough adding more stuff that they can't touch! I am sure I will get called a grinch but I do get festive!!! We bake goodies, wear holiday clothes, go shopping etc etc etc,....I just don't decorate much. On a side note, I also live out of town and a mile off of any road where no one can see my house so no one would see the decorations anyways. 
I wish I was more into decorating....but it is what it is....Comment

We have a new tradition of putting Christmas decorations up the weekend after Thanksgiving. Christmas lights on the outside go up at this time as well. Christmas tree is purchased two weeks before Christmas so as to remain fresh and yummy-smelling for Christmas!Comment

we did put our outside lights up this past weekend. It was very warm out and figured it beat doing it in the cold. I must of looked silly to the neighbors wearing a tank top and hanging christmas lights. I would love to turn them on but we usually wait till thanksgiving weekend also. It must be in the air cause I dont usually want to do it early. This year i could of put the tree up in october and been happy. I love looking at the twinkling lights

i also made part of my son's preschool teacher's xmas gift the other night. this isn't the one, but it's like this:
i've never made one before and it was super easy and cute! it took about an hour and i got the frame for 10 bucks at hobby lobby with their 1/2 off sale that ends saturday.Comment

I'm Canadian so Thanksgiving was last week.
I hung my outdoor lights this week because the weather was warm. I hate doing it in December and freezing my fingers off. However, other than testing the lights and pleasing the daycare kids, the lights will not be turned on for another week or two.
Tomorrow we will be writing letters to Santa because all my daycare families and I are going to a local Santa Claus parade on Saturday and they accept Santa letters at the parade. We realized we were all going separately so we decided to make a day of it and go together. We are all SO excited!Doing what I love and loving what I do.Comment

Oh my goodness, that is THE cutest thing I have ever seen! Where did you find that idea?Originally posted by QualiTcare View Post
I was shopping last night and bought all my daycare families "snowman kits"...black felt hat, plastic pipe, button eyes, plastic carrot nose, buttons for shirt and a red felt scarf. Cute, huh? They were only $3.99! They came in a cute painted wood box that says "Let it snow" on it.Comment

I have a pretty green and silver wreath on my door and husband put up white lights last weekend. We are the first on the street with lights. We dont have anything else up. I wouldn't have it any other way. I think the white lights and subtle decoration without screaming christmas is a great way to start transition into the holiday season. We love it!Comment

I have a few outdoor lights up since it was so nice out this past weekend, but I have more to do. The rest of the decorating will happen next weekend. I can't wait; I'm antsy to get out the decorations this year because last year we just moved into our house Dec 12, so there was minimal decorating. My ILs gave us a whole bunch of neat new decorations last year and we bought some new stuff on clearance, so I'm excited to decorate the house.
First step...I have to clean it...there's a bunch of clutter.
I also need to put away the spring decorations and Halloween decorations...Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!Comment
