Usually I decorate in stages. I try to get the outside wreaths up by Dec. 1st. I put out out the garlands & wreaths on the porch today. The icicle lights stay up but we started turning them on this past weekend.

Inside I have two kitties who have never been known to not accept a challenge so the last few years we have just had small table top trees & not our traditional big one since it has been just my husband & I. The kids haven't been down for Christmas for several years. I put out the Christmas village & the a couple nativities. If I have time I do more decorating inside. We also use Christmas dishes from Thanksgiving to Epipheny.

Happy Holidays!
