Is it too soon to think about putting up Christmas decorations?​

Hey members! It's been a while since we got to chat, and what better time than this fantastic Friday?

Can you believe how swiftly the days turn into weeks? With the festive season approaching, I can't help but wonder—is it too soon to think about putting up Christmas decorations in October?

So, I'm throwing this question out there for all of you members. Am I jumping the gun, or is anyone else feeling the early holiday spirit?

If you think starting early is perfectly fine, please share your Christmas decorating tips, samples, or any unique ideas to make the holiday season extra special!

I always put mine up when the pageant is on

The traditional period is first Sunday in Advent to put up the decorations and take down at the Epiphany - 6 January.
One year, we were in Salt Lake City, USA. Thanksgiving was on 4th Thursday in November. Next night, there was a ceremony for the switching on of Christmas lights. I remember a restaurant on 14th floor where I booked a window table. The lights were spectacular. I remember the snowflakes beginning to flutter and there was heavy coverage by morning.

I bring in our living Christmas tree on 5th January to decorate for our Orthodox Christmas on 7th January each year. I take it outside after 19th January each year
Our Christmas is a religious one, not a commercialised one

Oh Vella! You had me at "Christmas"! I got my Christmas crockery out a couple of weeks ago, and I'm enjoying my cuppas from a variety of reindeer-decked mugs, having dinner off my reindeer plates, and sandwiches from my reindeer bread and butter plates. Ha ha do you see a theme here? I even have a reindeer tattoo! It will be a couple of weeks before I get my tree out (it's a homemade one that my hubby put together for me). Most of my ornaments are reindeer, but there are some cheeky kitties in there and a couple of astronauts, too. Christmas is my favourite time of year and I like to really get the most out of my enjoyment. My favourite saying is "It's always Christmas somewhere in the world." My favourite shop is at Bright, it's called Merry and Bright, and guess what kind of shop it is! My biggest disappointment when we were there on holiday earlier this year was that the shop was closed that week for maintenance.

In my opinion, you are certainly jumping the gun. Decorations should never go up before December 1st. Everyone these days seems to have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas and what we should be celebrating. Not all the glitz and glamour. What next ? Will we all start celebrating our own birthdays
2 months before it is due ?! (Just saying). wavery

Too early,early December maybe then children understand better. All events like Easter start way too early so the meanings are lost

Yep sure is it’s bad luck to put them up too early and bad luck to keep them up too long

 

[Bullwinkle]

Put up on the first Sunday in December, take down first Sunday in January!!

It is far too soon to be putting them up now, just makes the celebration of Christmas too drawn out….I love Christmas, but lets start staying with traditions

Little by little all of our special occassions are being ruined by the non observance of the traditional times of the year. Slowly but shortly everything has become a mish mash of the essence of the occassion.
We have become decentralized to the significance of the time of the year that spoils the special remembrance of those unique events that are pivotal to our Culture being secured in the right to reflect and appreciate the essence of those very important annual events, some of those dating back thousands of years, others
that are of significant meaning to us as a Nation to remember the tragedy of times gone by. So many events that prove to be a part of us as human beings to reflect on the past to preserve the future.

If we continue to nullify those so very
imperative aspects of our significant
past, religious as well as other many events of extreme importance, I believe we allow ourselves to be just a shell of the true fibre of our existence as thinking responsible human beings.
