5 People Share When They Put Their Christmas Decorations Up

Arun Kuchibhotla on Unsplash" />It’s the age-old question, isn’t it? When should Christmas decorations go up? You would think that since this is an annual occasion and the date literally never changes, we would have a grasp on the answer by now.Then again, what is Christmas without bemoaning how early your neighbours have put out the fairy lights?To get an idea of when’s acceptable to start breaking out the festive decs, user Pepsibun approached Reddit’s Christmas community for guidance.They said: “When are we putting the Christmas decorations up?” before adding: “Personally, I’m trying to hold off from putting them up until I hear Christmas songs on retail store radios.”In short: nobody agreesNovember 15thUser BajaScout revealed they have an exciting weekend ahead: “Saturday November 15 is marked for our traditional family Christmas kick-off. It begins after lunch.“We take everything out from storage and put up the tree and all decorations while listening to Christmas music, sipping on some wine or drink, snacking, reminiscing, and just having a nice moment to get into the spirit of the season. We do this every year.”November 24thAs somebody with a November birthday, I really cannot approve of all these early celebrations.However, user Unfetteredness said they’ll be putting theirs up on November 24th, adding: “I’m looking for that sweet spot where there’s plenty of time to enjoy all the magic and beauty, but it doesn’t feel like old news by the time Christmas actually comes.“I also take my decorations down very soon after Christmas. I love it so much, I don’t want to be reminded that it’s over!”For some it’s a bit more of a... processUser graceland3864 revealed that their Christmas makeover comes in stages, noting: “Already working on it. I put our Christmas bedding on and put out the rugs and throw pillows.”December 1stSpeaking my kind of language, user Terracotta-cinnamon said: “1st of December. November is for anticipation.”Commenter Grindie agreed, adding: “This is the same for us. Might be a few days earlier here and there, especially if it switches to December in the middle of the week. Then we put up Christmas lights and decorations on the weekend before December hits.“While I love Christmas and all the lights and decorations, I don’t like putting them up too early. I guess because I fear that I might grow sick and tired of them?”A Scribbler survey previously found the first week of December seems to be when most people opt to put their trees up – with the second largest cohort going for the second week of December.Meanwhile 7% leave it until a few days before Christmas.Others take the phrase ‘Christmas season’ a little too literallyHachiko75 says: “They’ve been up for months and I have most of the gifts under the tree.”That’s a bit far, if you ask me.Related...Waitrose Unveils Its New Christmas Advert, And It's A Must-See For Love Actually FansJohn Lewis' New Christmas Ad Captures A Real 'Male Loneliness'The Psychology Behind Loving (And Hating) Christmas Ads
