Ever since I was a little kid, my family hung our outside Christmas lights the day after Thanksgiving. My brother and I were out of school, and Dad had the day off from work, so it was ideal. Plus, Thanksgiving was over, and it was finally Christmastime.
A lot of people have already decorated their homes (and showed pictures on Facebook.) Usually, I’m not too fond of people ignoring Thanksgiving, but 2020 has been a tough year, so I’m okay with decorating early. But, let’s not make a habit of it.
This year, I in Arizona for Thanksgiving, so I’ll be helping Mom, Dad, and Aunt Patti hang their Christmas lights. When I was a kid, I never imagined that I would wrap Christmas lights around a tall palm tree, but the more, the merrier.
When do you put up your Christmas decorations? Is it the same time every year, or are you flexible? I’ll be decorating my house as soon as I get back to Washington.
Thanks to my cats, I have to change the way I decorate, but that will be a future post.
