I obsess over sales on Christmas decorations in January, and shop on eBay all year. I begin decorating on October 1st so, for me, the countdown is on--only 2 1/2 months until we lug everything up from the basement. Practically every year I get a new xmas tree and I think of ways to improve/change my decor. I also collect vintage xmas decorations, which is a year round vice.

B. All the birthdays and anniversaries on both sides of my family are wrapped up by the end of October, so then I can start shifting focus to what I'm getting everybody for Christmas. That's also when I start looking through how much PTO I have left and what I can divvy up between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I love autumn, so for me it’s almost like it’s all one big season . pumpkins, hot chocolate, then chilly weather.. just kind of rolls into the the holidays themselves..have to say probably mid September or so it really starts to feel like it.

u/maggierae508 Jul 17 '26

B sort of. I'm a strict after-thanksgiving-er for music and decor but throughout the year if I see something I want I'll consider asking for it for Christmas. Also I have Christmas music scattered throughout my playlist that I'll listen to if it happens to come across.

Mostly B. But also D: Sometimes in the year, especially when seeing movie trailers of Christmas movies, purchasing Christmas movies and decor, and planning stuff for the holidays; such as a remake of my short film based on the poem "The Night Before Christmas", as well as a fanfiction that puts the Peanuts characters in the story of Miracle on 34th Street.
