I can't believe I gave in to the pressure....
 
For the first time in 20 years, the house is decorated for Christmas before Thanksgiving.

The kids decorated the house yesterday, and they are putting the Christmas lights outside this week so they can be turned on Dec 1.

The big tree is in the living room, the girls have a tree in their room, and Michael wants one put up in his room too, so I am going back to the thrift store this week and getting another $10 Christmas tree.

Anyone else have their house decorated already?

No...I've always steadfastly held out till the traditional "day-after-Thanksgiving", but I feel myself growing weaker every year. LOL!!! I'm already dying to put decorations up; I just don't want to give in, when I've complained about other people doing it so much. :toofunny

Don't celebrate it and you won't have to worry bout it. ;)

We plan on putting all of our stuff up (and we have a ton of it this year) the Saturday morning after Thanksgiving. We bought at least a half dozen additional LED lights for the front of the house as well as a couple of giant blow up ornaments. Oh yes, and a couple of LED rope lights to make a "river" down our front yard.

All we have done is put the tablecloth on the table. We had our Thanksgiving brunch yesterday. Christmas will be celebrated on the 18th of Dec.

I got a new china cabinet today. I just have to figure out what to put in it. Our living room is still not remodeled so don't know where to put our tree.
