When do you put up your Advent/Christmas decorations?

I would rather at least wait until Advent begins, but my Wife & Daughters outvote me (apparently we live under a democracy).

When my Wife and I were dating, I left my tree up & lit all year-round. I would take the decorations off of it at least, but I liked the ambience : ) My job is to bring the decorations up from the basement and they do the rest.

When do you take down your Advent/Christmas decorations?

We now keep our Advent/Christmas decorations up until the celebration of The Epiphany. One year we tried to keep them up until the celebration of The Baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ, but by then, it feels more like clutter. Had we waited until the end of Advent to put up Christmas decorations, then this would not be the case.

It’s about Advent time and Catholics disagree on when you should put up decorations : )

When I was a kid our decorations went up on Christmas Eve. I tried to carry that practice into adulthood but sometimes was overruled.

On the fifth day of Christmas, late this year but lights are on.

Peace always,

The fifth day of Christmas is Dec. 29. Christmas is the first of the 12 days. So if your lights were on Dec. 24, how is that late? I’m not arguing, just wondering what your statement means.

Peace to all,

Oh, thanks, I thought is was like days to go till Christmas, undating logic now, will get this resolved, OMNiLogically, I believe.

I bought a ounce of gold for the wife and withdrew the money at the bank in Waterville Maine, and by the time I drove to Auburn one hour later I needed to withdraw more money about 90 dollars because gold hadd gone up in price that day, it went up in one hour about 90 dollars more in value that day somehow? Anyway, she received her gift under the decorated tree on Chrtismas,

Of course we all know Christ is the reason for the season,

So our tree decorated on Dec 19, and 20th.
Thanks for the update, LiteralMan,
Have a safe and happy holiday, to all

Peace always,
Stephen
