I hate Christmas. Is that weird? Considering I love Jesus so much?

I try to wait until after Thanksgiving to start decorating…but I have to say that I love when all the stores through up their Christmas decorations. Makes everything feel so festive!

I shoot for decorating the day after Thanksgiving. I think before Thanksgiving is too soon. What REALLY annoys me is that BOTH of the local radio stations I listen to (sometimes, I have satellite radio, which I broke down and got for this very reason a couple years ago!) started playing all Christmas music the first day of November. ALL CHRISTMAS music. Too much, and waaaaayyy too soon.

I TOTALLY think it is too early. I LOVE to decorate for all of the holidays…seriously…I have way too many bins of decorations. But I am very picky about how long they should stay up. They shouldn't go up earlier than the beginning of the month in which the holiday is in and should come down within a few days of the holiday happening. Hence, Valentine's Day only gets 15ish days. Christmas does get a little extra, because I think they can go up the weekend after Thanksgiving. But they have to come down before New Years. The Fourth of July actually gets part of the month of June and then half way into July, but after that it is just summer themed decorations.

Yes, I agree it's too soon, Christmas should arrive in December and is spoilt by it arriving too early, but I think mid-November is okay. In England we don't have Thanksgiving (and other celebrations such as Halloween are not big here) so Christmas starts arriving in the shops in Septmber, and fully arrives in October with Christmas adverts and shop displays. It's not right!

I love the holidays. However, key word is holidays – as in plural. There is a holiday before Thanksgiving people! I'm all for putting up Christmas stuff on Black Friday, but it seems like this year people are getting way too carried away way to quickly.

Lol! I think it may be too soon as well. I day after American Thanksgiving, basically the end of November. Then I get my tree the first week of December and start decorating. I come from a Hispanic background, so we leave our tree and decorations up until Three Kings day which is January 6th.

I kind of love that we don't have a late thanksgiving as a roadblock to decorating. We have a few little decorations in our house now and I'm excited for it to snow. Once there's snow, I figure it's fair game.

I say Thanksgiving. I have to admit, however, I look at all the Christmas stuff in the stores.
