From Christmas enthusiasts to holiday Grinch's, everyone has their own timetable about when to start bringing in the holiday spirit.
When I was driving through the downtown areas of Metrowest towns, as early as two weeks ago, the streets were already decked out with official holiday wreaths and festive city lights. I am sure I must have winced at this. It is equal to the feeling I get when I call a company these days and they put me on hold with Christmas music.
But, the actual time to begin the season is soon approaching and I did a little research on the question of decorating timetables.
Thanksgiving is an obvious landmark that indicates the entrance to the holidays. Some people begin their decorating soon after the big meal.
More respondents said that they decorate on the day after Thanksgiving. But, that would definitely eliminate any "Black Friday" shopping trips which are all-consuming. Others wait until it is closer to Christmas day. But isn't that a lot of trouble to go to for such a short time to enjoy it all?
We could start this week - as early as today to get a jump on things. But this begs the question of whether or not we will be completely tired of it by the end of the year.
So, when do you start your Christmas decorating?
