OK EVERYONE.... WHEN DO YOU HANG YOUR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS??? (page 2)

After the Witlesses egged your house for celebrating Christmas last year, maybe you should put them up right after Halloween just to spite them. That ought to bother them even worse. If you have LED (and they do come in C7 and C9 sizes), it reduces energy usage, carbon dioxide output, and blown light bulbs significantly. Highly recommended.

As for me, I put them up as soon as Jehovah pxxxes me off, and leave them up for the remainder of the year. That means that they could go right back up immediately after coming down if He does anything I do not like. And, if the hounders show up, I can put the Christmas tree up long enough for them to try a judicial committee (which I will make them waste time and bring out my Crisis of Conscience book to stumble them).

We put our lights up the first nice day after Thanksgiving.

The tree goes up the day after Thanksgiving.

That's our family tradition...been doing it for YEARS...well.....ok for a few years....

Several outdoor l.e.d. lights are already up, and the rest go Nov.1 (minimal footprint there). Our south asian neighbours (thousands of them) celebrate diwali (festival of lights) in the next few days.

After Halloween, I put up my tree and dress it up with Fall and Thanksgiving decorations. Atter Thanksgiving, I decorate for Christmas. I can't wait to get started.

I've had the Halloween Pumpkins out for over a week now.

I'm getting my stuff together for Christmas. . Since my little granddaughter Alison Rose came on the scene three years ago, I take this decorating stuff very seriously. I want her to experience everything her mother and my other chldren missed.

THIS year I am going to try and get hubby to get the tree up the first week of December. I LOVE the lights at night---they make the prettiest glow inside and outside the house. I have stars with different colored lights in the tips, in the living room windows, a full tree in the living room and a smaller tree on a lamp table in the dining room---it is also in a window. I am hoping to put those battery-operated candles in ALL the other windows.....I especially love the blue bulbs.

I saw an all-white tree in Walmart last week....it melted my heart. If I didn't enjoy our "green" tree so much.....I would toss it and buy the white one. I wish I had another room large enough to put the white one into, haha! (I MAY talk hubby into putting the green on on the front porch and BUY the white one....cuz HE liked it too!

I am SO INTO this Christmas decorating thang!

hugs,

I put my outside lights up today.

In Canada, I would always put them up in mid Nov because of the cold weather but generally it's Dec 1st or so - the same time my tree goes up!

I say - do it when you feel like it! After all, Christmas lights and the trees and all the glitter are so beautiful, that if you feel like enjoying it all - go for it!

The first year I celebrated I put the Christmas tree and lights up after Thanksgiving. Last year, I put them up right after Halloween. Why go through all the trouble just to have them up for a couple weeks? I had quite a display. An outdoor Christmas tree with lighted presents around it, two animated reindeer, the driveway was lined in candy canes and big lighted snowflakes hanging in all the trees. The JWs must have really enjoyed it because they kept driving by real slow. ;)

I put my Jack-o-Lanterns up right after Canadian Thanksgiving (Oct. 8). I'm really excited because I live in a big subdivision and the neighbours told me that they had over 200 kids last year. We used to live in the boonies and hardly had any Trick-or-Treaters. We even went out and got our puppy a witches costume so she can help hand out the candy.
