When do you start decorating your home for Christmas?

I think the day after Thanksgiving is the way to go. That way you observe Thanksgiving and have the most time to enjoy your Christmas decorations. Merry Christmas!!!

Yup. We are breaking out the Holiday music and preparing to decorate for Christmas. Listen to this if you have time.

Irrespective of Christmas, there will always be people looking for a house. The whole world doesn't stop for Christmas - even if the shops/media like to think it does. You could try putting it on the market to get a feel of things. If you don't like it, you can always take your property off the market and put it back on sometime in the new year. It also depends on how marketable your property is. If your property/area is in huge demand then someone will come along.\n\nIf I was looking for a property, I wouldn't stop just because its Christmas. The only problem is that solicitors etc. break up for a fortnight at Christmas so it will slow down the sale process.

well my mom and I start putting Christmas decorations up gradually at the beginning of December but we don't get the tree until the week before Christmas so that it is fresh for Christmas. We decorate the tree a couple days before Christmas and we paly music while we do it.

Buy some pretty Christmas toasting glasses, and have a toast to your first Christmas together.\nBuy an ornament for the tree, a nice collectible one, just the two of you.\n LIght a Christmas candle together.\nDecorate the tree.\nDrive around, and see all the pretty lights, tune in a radio station playing carols.. Or go to a comercial light show.\nBuy some canned goods, and take them to the food bank, together.\nCall the relatives to wish them Merry Christmas.\nGo to church.\nHave an empty creche under the tree, and put the baby Jesus in it. \nBuy each other an ornament. \nDo a Christmas eve tradition. Open just one gift from each other. \nHave a cocoa and cookies snuggle by the fire, or TV.\nBuy a Christmas movie, watch the same one, or a different one, every year.\nGo caroling.\nVolunteer to a food bank, or deliver Chistmas baskets to the poor. \nIn advance, call a local nursing home and ask what they need for the patients.\nHave a open house for the neighbors.\nFill each others stockings, without the other one seeing.\nCook dinner together. Cook something that isn't a tradition.\nDeliver some small gift to each of the neighbors, a plate of cookies, a box of candy. \nBake some cookies together, and decorate them. Or make fudge.\nAnd don't forget the mistletoe!

Since I was a kid, we always did the same thing.  About a week before Christmas, we'd make a thermos of hot chocolate, load everyone up in the car, put on some Christmas tunes and go look at all the Christmas lights.  Sometimes we'd assign each family member an item (snowmen, santas, nativities) and see how many we could count.  This is a tradition I've carried on with my own kids, and they look forward to it every year!

We have a Christmas tree, we bought a pre-lit tree on sale two years ago. We set it up two weeks ago. Lmao, we've only got four ornaments on it. I was excited to put it up, but then I felt that it was too soon to decorate it, so we took our time doing so.\n\nWe have the tree, because of two reasons. 1. I love the season, and the ability to put up special ornaments and decorations specific to the time of year/celebration. \n2. For six years my husband was in the military, (more than half of those years we did not know each other), most of the time he was either (a) alone or (b) overseas. When he was alone he didn't see any point in celebrating and when he was overseas he obviously couldn't do much in the way of a huge familial celebration.\nSO, I have taken it upon myself to make Christmas as special and fun as possible for him, even if it means putting decorations up early. And since we are newlyweds, that will involve lots and lots of fun!

What u can do is find a store that sells really cheap things like Big Lots or u can ask a friend if they have old Christmas stuff that's in good condition if u can have it. As for decorating you house, I would say on the outside, try decorating a couple of trees with lights, put a santa in a sled with reign deer in the front, and if u want to go crazy, u should put a snow man or the santa stuff on your roof. Also try putting a couple of snow men in your fron lawn.

Just make you house christmas like and light a fire and have the christmas tree lights on and enjoy. Or go around driving at night and look at the lights.

I recommend 5 things: First of all, watch the movie, The Polar Express. Granted, it is a kid movie, but it has a GREAT message for all of us and by the end of the movie, you will probably be standing on your own couch chanting, "I BELIEVE." It is that good. Secondly, you can purchase a fragrance oil, called the "Smell of Christmas" at most major department stores. You put a drop of oil on all of your light bulbs and each time you turn on a light you are definitely reminded of the Holiday season! Third, you can purchase sleigh bells that hang on your front door. Every time you or someone else enters or leaves, you hear them and will definitely be reminded. Fourth, PUT UP A CHRISTMAS TREE even if you live by yourself. Turn on the lights each night and be amazed by its beauty. Last, but definitely not least, and the most important, visit a Church so that you can be reminded as to the real reason that we celebrate the Christmas season.

One or two years ago I used buttons, glue, puff paint, etc. and decorated Christmas stockings for each member of my family. You can decorate it with a picture of something that they love, like music notes or a soccer ball. That way it's personalized and it works for any age or gender. Hope this helps
