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 won't do anything Christmasy except play my music or watch Hallmark.....I love Thanksgiving and what it stands for....thankfulness,family,no presents, no cards, some football,and lots of good food.
the same people that put up their fake trees right after halloween are the same ones that toss it away Christmas Day afternoon or the day after....
traditionally, the 12 days of Christmas runs from Christmas Day until Epiphany which is what we aim for....
