As November arrives right after Halloween, the debate arises as to when is too
early to start celebrating Christmas. Some say November 1st is the perfect time to start
this celebration, but others argue the celebration should begin after Thanksgiving.
Which one do you choose? After Thanksgiving or before?

Which one do you choose? After Thanksgiving or before?
Many are in agreeance that November 1st is when Christmas decorations should
begin to be put up. A reason people want to celebrate Christmas right away is to make it
last longer. Christmas is known as the “Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” and having
holiday spirit brings some more joy into celebrators’ lives. Not only does Christmas bring
cheer, but celebrating in advance can help with early shopping ideas before time runs
out. Many love the thought of Christmas because it is a magical time to spend with the
people you care about. To some, November 1st is the ideal time to begin the “Jolly
Season.”
After Thanksgiving, for some, is the best time to launch into the Christmas spirit.
It is argued that each holiday should be acknowledged before overlooking it for another.
There are traditions for many families that include putting up their tree after
Thanksgiving, which is when they begin to celebrate. Additionally, some feel they do not
want to rush into the New Year that comes so close after Christmas. Taking a slow and
steady approach into the celebration of Christmas has appealed to many.
For as long as time many have started decorating for Christmas in the beginning
of November and even after Thanksgiving. Honestly, what is the harm of doing either
one? Who are we to stomp on another’s joy? Many people have separate traditions,
some of which take longer than others. But, in the end Christmas is still a happy time of
the year for a majority of people. So, celebrate at your own choosing.
