The habit of decorating for Christmas right after, or even the day of, Thanksgiving is growing in popularity. At least near where I live. When I was a kid, I don't think we even started it till the morning of Christmas Eve, or maybe a day or two earlier.

we rotate visiting family
When its their turn to visit us, we decorate.
I don't have to decorate again for 2 more years. I do put wreaths on the door but that's it.
I try to do it right when its our turn for the kids.

Came home from work today,
Looks like the Christmas spirit barfed all over our house today while I was gone. Lol
There are 4 trees set up in various parts of the house, Christmas music playing , wreath on the door, and on and on.
Green bin is full of pumpkins.
