My hubby is a Christmas maniac...and I love that! He starts putting lights up outside right after Halloween, but he has them all on timers and they come in Thanksgiving night. The grandkids are amazed by the spectacle!!! We decorate the inside of the house the first weekend in December, including the tree. We don't undecorate until the weekend after New Year's day. It's the week after New Year's that we get to enjoy it all, because it's so crazy during the holidays...LOL!
