EARLY DECORATE HOLIDAYS

IS IT TOO EARLY TO DECORATE FOR THE HOLIDAYS?

Christmas decorations depend on the décor type. For example;

Christmas tree to last 4 weeks

I always advise my clients to consider putting up a Christmas tree a few weeks after thanksgiving; less than 4 weeks. Most trees are designed to last for a maximum of four weeks. That suggests that decorating it earlier may end up drying before the actual celebration period. It is bet if you start displaying it the day after the thanksgiving weekend.

Christmas lights

If electricity bills do not matter, lights can be up as from late November because there is no set limit. But you can always wait until the end of Halloween. It helps save on electricity costs.

Christmas wreaths

Wreaths are mostly associated with Fall and Winter. But depending on the style you have, you can put up one at the entrance or front door during the Fall. But for Christmas holiday, the best time is after the weekend of Thanksgiving for your Christmas wreath to earn its perfect meaning.
