Why the hate? This is not post worthy.

Maybe it depends on where you’re from. Where I grew up, putting up a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving was pretty standard (as is taking it down on New Year’s Day).

To me there’s two different time frames that go with decorating a house for Christmas and doing up a tree. Getting the outside lights and stuff up around now is standard procedure (in fact I was early this year getting that done this past weekend), but for me the tree thing doesn’t happen until a couple weeks into December.

Yeah… anytime after Thanksgiving is acceptable. It’s the neighbors who had Xmas lighting up by election day that irk me.

It’s always been a tradition in my family to decorate for Christmas right after Thanksgiving for maximum holiday-ness. Don’t diss the tradition. Let people be.

With a Santa Ana or two it will be kindling by 12/15. By 12/16 we should see it in the news as a giant torch. Karma does that when you screw around killing innocent trees.

I'd like to take this moment to remind everybody that festivus poles never die.
