Deciding whether to decorate for Christmas before or after Thanksgiving depends on your personal rhythm. Early November decorators enjoy extended cozy holiday moods, while classic schedules start decorating right after Thanksgiving weekend for a clear seasonal reset. Consider your lifestyle, cultural traditions, and type of decorations. For example, real trees are better timed post-Thanksgiving for freshness, whereas artificial trees allow earlier setups. Choose what brings you joy and accommodates your holiday pace for meaningful decorating.
