Showing Original Post only (View all)So when do you get into the "Christmas Spirit," if at all? [View all]
Just had this discussion with my significant other. She has had decorations up for a couple of weeks. I was trying to explain that I was more of a mid December person. A week or two of Christmas carols is plenty for me.
There certainly is not any wrong answer. Everyone is different.
On the other hand I keep my fake 4' tree up all year round. It gets decorated for Christmas, Valentine's, Easter, 4th of July, etc. Mostly it is just a night light that goes out around 5am.....
