When do you start celebrating/decorating for the winter holidays?

January. That’s when every Christmas decoration is on sale and often found at thrift shops!

Typically start decorating on or the day after Thanksgiving. I wouldn't mind doing it a little earlier - my job did start decorating for Christmas the beginning of last week which was before Thanksgiving and I didn't mind it. I love decorating for this season!

Most of my holiday decorations are music boxes. I have some really interesting Christmas themed music boxes including a 42 inch limited edition musical porcelain doll and one that looks like a matchbox.

I haven't decorated for Christmas in years, but at a minimum it has to be after Thanksgiving (US) for me. I would have selected December 1st because that honestly feels more appropriate to me, but when I started working I usually found that the only time I had to decorate was on the long weekend after Thanksgiving. I deal with holidays one at a time.

I will do some Christmas shopping earlier if I find something I know I want to get, but I usually do the bulk of my shopping throughout December.

Usually my family and I start decorating either on Thanksgiving day or soon after that. This year is a bit different though. My mom started decorating the inside of the house last week, so it is currently a mix of pumpkins and Christmas decorations. A bit chaotic but I like it.

Chose 'others'. I live in the Philippines and we start celebrating Christmas as early as September, no joke. There is literally a wikipedia article about it LMAO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_in_the_Philippines

It's become a very common meme here to start blasting Christmas songs once the -ber months roll over. I think we celebrate it so early because (1) we're predominantly Catholic and (2) we don't usually celebrate any other major holiday between Sept-Dec (we don't have autumn or thanksgiving, and Halloween here is mainly catered towards children).

My family and I started Christmas shopping back in October, for personal reference. We start counting down as far back as 100 days before Christmas. It's a pretty big deal.

I put November 1st but I don't usually start on that literal day, I like to have my tree set up by early/mid November though.

Probably the start of December or after Thanksgiving. I don't really have a set time that I do start decorating or celebrating it. I try to do it sooner than later because it's a lot of work to get it all done and have something like 2 weeks of it.

i like putting up decorations after my birthday which is the first week of december, i might be a little later this year as this is the first year in my new flat and i've yet to buy any decorations/tree etc

I like to enjoy the decorations for as long as I can! I put my tree up the day or weekend after Thanksgiving, and the decorations come down after New Year's.

Never, lol. We don't decorate for Christmas anymore.

Definitely November 1. As soon as Halloween is over its basically Christmas time in my opinion.
