• I put up my decorations the day after Thanksgiving, and take them down the first week of January.

• I usually put them up the 1st or 2nd weekend of November....but I made the mistake of having hubby put everything in the attic and he HATES when I put it up early and knows I wont climb the stairs lol So I am hoping to talk him into it by next weekend. Maybe if I nag enough!?!

•  I put mine up on Nov. 1st for one reason, its WAY too cold after Thanksgiving to put up lights.  I did put up my indoor stuff early but I hate doing all the work to have it up for only a month plus most of my stuff is pretty fall/winter neutral and not so much Christmasy.

• The day of or after Thanksgiving.  Take it down around the 27th or so.

• I usually put the decorations up Thanksgiving weekend.  Then I take them down the weekend after Little Christmas (January 6th).  I agree with what a previous poster wrote, about putting too much work into the decorating to only keep it up for a couple of weeks.  So I like to stretch it out as long as logically possible. :)

• We put ours up after thanksgiving. and take it down after new years day. all decorations as well. I usually use the boxes for wrapping gifts after all decorations are out of them.lol so re-use is a good thing also. but that is usually when we do our decorating.
