Since your Thanksgiving is in November do you keep fall decorations out until after Thanksgiving and then decorate for Christmas, or do Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations overlap?

Pretty much the whole black Friday shopping thing is the start of Christmas shopping season and people put their stuff out over those couple weekends.

Both mostly. I have family that celebrates the decorations changing over the day after the holidays.

I decorate for fall a bit. Once thanksgiving is over Christmas is on. But when I son was little we did have occasionally the tree up w lights.

Everyone does their own thing. No one finds any of it strange.

The day after Thanksgiving is the unofficial start of the Christmas season, and most people begin decorating that weekend or in the beginning of December. Some people wait until the day before Christmas to decorate or don't decorate at all. Some people keep a fake tree up year round.

I don’t put out Thanksgiving decorations. That is not common in my area. There are Halloween decorations but those are generally removed before Thanksgiving. I suppose some people might have generic fall pumpkins or something out.

Many people in my area put up outdoor Christmas decorations in the days immediately following Thanksgiving. I refuse to decorate for Christmas before December 1st.

We have fall decorations starting September, in October we add in halloween decorations, then November until Thanksgiving we swap the halloween decorations for the more fall stuff again, but Black Friday we're putting up Christmas.

We do fall decorations (not necessarily holiday specific) from October to the weekend after thanksgiving, and then I put up Christmas lights thanksgiving weekend which stay up until the weekend after new years(ideally, sometimes the weather doesn’t cooperate with this.

Christmas creep! Seems to happen earlier and earlier every year. A lot of shops start putting out Christmas stuff after Halloween.

moosieq@reddit

In my household the Christmas tree goes up immediately after Thanksgiving and all the fall stuff slowly transitions into Christmas decor until February when the Valentine's Day stuff comes out.

[-]

Freyjas_child@reddit

Fall decorations come out in September after Labor Day. These are supplemented with Halloween decorations in October and then Thanksgiving decorations in November. After Thanksgiving that all gets put away and Christmas decorations come out. So no overlap.

Harvest (non spooky fall decorations) usually stay up until the end of November when most Christmas stuff starts to come up. Harvest season is what a lot of people think of when it comes to Fall decoration (pumpkins, gourds, cornucopias, etc.)

In recent years I've noticed most people don't decorate for Thanksgiving anymore. It goes right from Halloween to Christmas on November 1.

[-]

DogsBikesAndMovies@reddit

I've never known a family to decorate for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving decorations are typically in retail stores only. Christmas decorations typically come out in our homes sometime in early December.

Traditional_Trust418@reddit

My mom and grandmas all do

jamiesugah@reddit

We used to when I was a kid. Thanksgiving is my mom's favorite holiday and she really liked to decorate for it.

I think part of it depends on where you are too. Where I'm at tends to have Thanksgiving decorations, but I used to live in Minnesota, where it tended to go straight from Halloween to Christmas. Weather tends to be a big part of that though, nobody knows whether November will be 30s and 40s, or if it'll snow two feet before Thanksgiving. Best to just put it up when its still warm then leave it up till February or March and take it down on the first mild day of the year.

[-]

shelwood46@reddit

Yes, exactly. I grew up in Wisconsin. You put up the outdoor decorations early, before the snow, but ideally wait until after Thanksgiving to turn the lights on. We'd also wait until after Thanksgiving to do the indoor Christmas decorations, though I know many people who get them up a hair earlier.

You're underestimating festive gourd session. I definitely start hoarding gourds and mini-pumpkins before Halloween and keep them out through Thanksgiving weekend as long as they're not rotten. Christmas can wait.

[-]

IceManYurt@reddit

I feel like this is an economic indicator no one talks about.

During good times people are able to justify the cost of buying decorations... Once it gets tight, things like this get cut

same.

Traditional_Trust418@reddit

I don't really care for Thanksgiving or Halloween so I just decorate for Christmas in September

[-]

Adorable_Dust3799@reddit

We always had fall and winter stuff that stayed out for months, and brought out specific items for Thanksgiving, Christmas and new years.

[-]

Madreese@reddit

I think Halloween and Thanksgiving overlap. Fall with spooky overtones. Christmas decorations often come out the weekend after Thanksgiving and for some people the week before Thanksgiving.

[-]

Vachic09@reddit

Fall decor is from Labor Day to Thanksgiving.

[-]

Rogue_Apostle@reddit

Most stores put out Christmas stuff right after Halloween, so it overlaps with Thanksgiving and fall in general.

At my house, there is no overlap. Fall stuff comes down and Christmas stuff goes up the day after Thanksgiving.

[-]

Dapper-Presence4975@reddit

Since the pandemic, I’ve been seeing Christmas stuff emerging as early as September…

[-]

shelwood46@reddit

Oh it has always come out early in stores. My local grocery store cleared away their Easter candy and put out... Fourth of July candy. I'd never seen that before (it was all red, white and blue wrapped regular candy, like Kisses. The Fourth doesn't have it's own specialty candy yet. Though you'd think Pop Rocks would be a natural.)

Black Friday is the start of Christmas season for my family too, I hate this Christmas in November stuff

[-]

LankyJeep@reddit

My personal opinion is that Black Friday starts the Christmas season, Thanksgiving is the last day of the fall season and I hate that it feels like Christmas has overshadowed not only Thanksgiving but the entire fall season, it’s even starting encroaching on Halloween and that just feels wrong

[-]

TechnologyDragon6973@reddit

My fall decorations are basically all Halloween decorations, and those stay up until roughly Advent when the Christmas decorations come out. But if Advent starts in late November I refuse to change anything until December 1 on principle.

[-]

MissingGrayMatter@reddit

My sister decorates with The Nightmare Before Christmas stuff and just leaves it all up Halloween to Christmas.

[-]

foozballhead@reddit

I don't decorate for transiting at all, but if i had any regular uncarved pumpkins left from Halloween i might leave them out through thanksgiving.

[-]

WthAmIEvenDoing@reddit

I do autumn decorations from October to the day after Thanksgiving, and that following weekend I put my Christmas stuff out.

[-]

GrowlingAtTheWorld@reddit

Halloween and Thanksgiving overlap decor wise cause pumpkins do both holiday. You tuck the ghosts and goblins away and leave the pumpkin and hay bails and add a few Turkeys

[-]

FivebyFive@reddit

I decorate for fall, not specific to thanksgiving really. And yep, I leave the decorations up until I put my Christmas stuff out.

[-]

Altruistic-Dig-2507@reddit

Thanksgiving decor is whatever your kid made at school.

[-]

MM_in_MN@reddit

My holiday decor consists of a fake flower wreath on the door, and a few bits and bobs ceramic candle holders on the table. At most, 4-5 things.

I put out the apples, pumpkins and autumn leaves sometime in September/ October. And switch them out for cardinals and snowy pine trees sometime in December. It’s autumn and it’s winter. It’s not specific to any holiday so it stays out longer.

[-]

OptatusCleary@reddit

What I do, and what I see a lot of people (but not everyone) do is have autumn decorations up until after Thanksgiving/ the start of December. I don’t decorate for Halloween in a “Halloween-specific” way. I decorate with pumpkins, leave decor, and that kind of thing. It works until Christmas time.

People around here keep their 12 ft skeletons up and qdd Christmas lights

TheBimpo@reddit

Christmas tree goes up the day after Thanksgiving, always has. No overlap.

FataMorganaForReal@reddit

Mine don't overlap. I have to move my fall decorations to make room for my "extra" Christmas decorations. 🎄😍

[-]

Ok_Orchid1004@reddit

We decorate for Christmas every year at thanksgiving time. No thanksgiving-specific decorating.

[-]

FreeStateOfPortland@reddit

We usually decorate in the autumn for Halloween and leave out the autumn specific decorations like some go the pumpkins and gourds and then the weekend after Thanksgiving put up the Christmas decorations.

I personally decorate for Christmas the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Some of us decorate for autumn on Halloween and then keep those decorations up thru thanksgiving

minnick27@reddit

Thanksgiving stuff comes down and Christmas stuff goes up on Black Friday. My mom used to start decorating for Christmas after Santa runs up the stairs of the Philly Art Museum.

[-]

Deolater@reddit

My family has always started Christmas decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving

That's still too much Christmas for me, but such is life.
