I guess that would make me unhappy then. Seems silly and unnecessary work to string the lights before Christmas and then take them down after (or maybe not). We do put up the tree.

As our kid gets older and may eventually move out, we may not put up the tree. Then again, if our kid gets married and has kids of his own, we'd go all out for the grandkids.

My studies show people who don’t mess with the crap of decorating at all are the happiest. They have more free time to do fun stuff and don’t risk their lives stringing up stupid lights nor do they have to get out in the middle of January and freeze their tuchas off removing the decorations.

Questionable opinions by Quack psychoanalysts.

In other words, Nonsense.

Christmas lights are now going up before Halloween.

Pathetic.

[Captain Walker]

It’s a complete misunderstanding of the holiday to have the decorations up that early. Unfortunately, Americans have adjusted the Christmas season to mirror the Christmas shopping season, and many of the same people who are the first to put the tree up are the first to take it down, often the day after Christmas, which is only the second day of the Christmas octave.

Traditionally, most people wouldn’t see the Christmas tree until they came downstairs on Christmas morning.

I just don’t ever take them down. Lazy people are happy people.

We ‘Really’ DoD not celebrate Christmas the past two years since my wife died.

We are putting up the Christmas tree tomorrow.

The eye gate is probably the most effective portal into your concsiousness and looking at something that has SO many good, happy and positive thoughts and memories every day or evening for over a month has GOT to have an effect.

My neighbors all have Diwali light up.

Very Noticeable....

[SkyDancer]

Like the Flintstones celebrating Christmas - now that was early!!!

[MayflowerMadam]

Now that we’ve reached “old fart” stage, we don’t decorate much. Maybe a wreath or pictures, but definitely not a tree, etc. I trying to unload a set of Spode Christmas china to no avail.
