A couple neighbours took down their Halloween decorations more or less Nov 1 and replaced them with Christmas decorations. These guys went all out too. I think that's a little too early but I suppose if the weather is nice, why not. I know I've put my lights up in early November but didn't turn them on for a few weeks.

At this point though it's probably fair game. I put mine up this last weekend, took advantage of a warm afternoon.

Programed the timer for the lights and put the tree up last week. If wife had what she wanted would have been Nov1. Strange though she wants the tree down just after Christmas, usually before new years.

I figure 1st week of December is a good time to put up lights and the tree.

Put up the outside lights 2 days ago. Wife is adding some everyday, into the trees.
So, they are on now, she could not wait. Mind you, they are all LEDs

Lights down Jan 1, I wish, basicly it's lay around and recover for a couple of days and then down by the end of the first week in January.
