When the Turkey is getting put away. Thanksgiving is over, prepare for sappy movies and good times with family. I could live Christmas year round.

We usually start the day after Thanksgiving - running late this year. With all the restrictions, it's hard to "get in the mood", dammit. We LOVE Christmas - and all it stands for. We even share Hannukah greetings with our jewish friends. 
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.

when we get the tree, usually the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Even better when we get it in the house, stood up, lights on and decorated.
Sycamore
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

My wife starts as soon as Thanksgiving dinner is over and everyone is gone. It's been turned into a commercial holiday,I could skip it all together and not loose any sleep
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

Merry Christmas - NOT Happy holidays! Look up why and how the early church used X and you will see why Xmas is OK.

Jesus is truly the reason for the season and Christmas makes me a better person with every passing year. Giving is truly better than receiving and covid has given me a whole new appreciation of friends and family. Also seeing the magic in my young daughters eyes is about as good as it gets for me.
Not into the commercial nonsense...but we live in the boonies anyways

The day after Thanksgiving. We cut our tree down on Thanksgiving evening and get to work decorating it the next day. That usually works to get us in the spirit.

For us it is all about seeing family, enjoying their company, seeing nieces, nephews, in-laws..... Sisters, brothers.. Spending a week in Cabo with my father. Visit with my mother....
So time may vary, but generally Mid Dec to Mid Jan.

You despair, repeatedly, constantly! daily basis?
A despair ninny.
Sack up, despire ninny.

If you believe heyzeus was born then fine. Celebrate that. But, the gift exchange, carols on the radio 28 hrs per day, decorations, store sales, etc, don't have anything to do with Jesus. Practically everything done regarding "Christmas", has nothing to do with Christmas. But I like the cookies.
