Street Decorations

Back in the the start of November, I asked How early is too early? I was questioning any Christmas decorations could go up before the Melbourne Cup. Seems I am out of touch with the new rules.

The start date of 1 December is no more. The streets in my 'hood are festooned with gardens full of Christmas decorations and lights.

I am currently charging the solar lights ready to hang in the front yard but I will wait untin December. 





It's sort of as if everyone is now getting in line with the retailers Christmas season. Or maybe it's a hang over from the Covid lockdowns and we just want to celebrate more.

When do you start decorating?











I waent to a Christmas Sing-a-Long at a piano bar (Grand Electic became a piano bar for just one day). My clips won't upload so you get the real deal - I forgot how pretty this song is. #MondayMusicMovesMe











This was us!

  4. We decorated our outdoor evergreen the Monday before Thanksgiving. We did turn on the lights that night, so we were early this year. Usually we don't do anything until after Thanksgiving. I think it should be Christmas year around.

    Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Lydia. Hugs. ♥

  6. Nice decorations. Where I live, Christmas decorations sometimes are up by the beginning of November - down come Halloween decorations and up go Christmas. A far cry from when people in my childhood got their trees on Christmas Eve. Being somewhat contrary, this year my decorations will be few. Less work to take down and put away, I guess.

  7. In our area, we see cities beginning to put up Christmas lights and other decorations late October in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains because they kick off their Winterfest in early November. I think other towns put stuff up because the weather is really nice still that early but don't turn things on until closer to Thanksgiving. Most people around her begin decorating their homes in November and as you can imagine anyone who does it up big has to get a real early start. You can spot Christmas trees from windows lite usually Thanksgiving weekend. We put up our little tabletop tree the weekend before just to add a bit of festive lighting because the thankful season is an extension of Christmas. I'm very thankful for Jesus! Great music! Have a boogietastic and wonderful Christmas season, Lydia! xo
