Socially acceptable time to start putting up Christmas stuff

I'll start this post by saying I love Christmas and I love the Christmas season. As I have gotten older the season goes by faster and faster. I know in what will feel like a blink of an eye I will look back at think I just posted about this and the season will be over. But it seems like the move to setting up Christmas decorations is happening sooner and sooner and at some point I think it has to stop.

Again, as someone who loves the Christmas season and understands it seems shorter and shorter each year, I have come to acceptance that around the week of Thanksgiving is when the decorations can start going up. I will accept the weekend before Thanksgiving. Typically what I do is the weekend before Thanksgiving is a handful of the decorations get put up around the house, probably get the lights up on the house, but after Thanksgiving is when we get the tree, and the rest of the big time Christmas decorations get put up.

But I am already seeing Christmas lights going up on houses. To me this seems a bit premature. I won't even touch on the stores moving to Christmas theme as I saw some doing so prior to Halloween, this is just for homes.

You celebrate holidays in the appropriate sequence. Christmas after Thanksgiving and the like. You wouldn't celebrate Juneteenth in March now would you?

I am about ready to put my Christmas shit up now. I love this time of the season, and had a blast helping my grandmother on my mom's side do everything Christmas. I need to decorate now to enjoy it. We are always gone to my wife's parents over Thanksgiving break. We also leave for her parents the day after Christmas. If I don't decorate before Thanksgiving, it doesn't get done.
