I am itching to get my Christmas tree out. It is an internal fight to wait until after Halloween. My husband only requests that I wait until after his birthday which is November 16h. An entire month?? noooooo!!!

Lovingly, I will tell you that you are crazy!
I love the holidays too, but honey it's too early. Listen to some Christmas music on your earphones. Bake and freeze some cookies, but step away from the tree.

Remember that song "The Twelve Days OF Christmas"? Only 12 days of decorations! Of course I didn't feel this way before the two cats and two dogs decided that the tree was for climbing and peeing on.Luanne

Waaayyyyy to early!!!!! 10 weeks until Christmas (I know exactly because I am counting down for other reasons). This year we will get a tree in mid December ish but that's early for us! Don't you get sick of it if you have it up for weeks and weeks? I can't see myself feeling festive for that long, lol.

I'm with you, Zoe. I have been itching to set up my Christmas village since I saw the Lemax display at Michael's last week!! If I could get away with it, I would probably decorate at the first sign of cold weather! DH probably won't be too excited with me if I try to decorate too much before Thanksgiving though. lol

I think this all stems from my parents making us wait until Christmas eve to put up our tree as a kid. Now that I'm free and can decorate when I want I would leave my tree up alllll year! I get mesmerized by the lights. oh man I'm making myself sound even more crazy than usual! But it's only the truth. I love Christmas SO much.

That's funny, I'm pretty sure I was a grinch in a previous life. I just can't seem to like the holidays no matter what I do. I only like it for my kids. I hate being crabby about it, but there it is.In my dreams I run with the Kenyans.

I'm more of Kelly's POV. It probably stems from my mother being obsessed with Christmas and dying broke while I found more unopened Christmas crap as I was cleaning out her house. Yeah, I'm a downer.Last edited by Shakti; 10-18-2010, 09:04 AM. Reason: to fix iPad typing errors .........grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ours is going up the week after Thanksgiving. (It would go up the day after Thanksgiving, but we will be in Branson, admiring the Christmas lights at Silver Dollar City) We keep it up until Epiphany is over, though.
Totally get where you are coming from--wander around Hobby Lobby a bit to ease the urge. Actually, we still need a tree. I'm hoping my parents will upgrade and we can get theirs--otherwise I'm trolling Craigslist. I'm going to have to move furniture around to find a place to put it but the tree is non-negotiable. I went crazy at Target after Christmas last year buying clearance stuff and I cant wait to decorate MY OWN place!!!
