With Halloween in the rearview mirror, the calendar has flipped to November. For some, that means preparing for Thanksgiving. Others are already onto Christmas in their minds. This week our staff answered the question: When does the Christmas season begin for you?

In my opinion, Christmas officially begins immediately after Thanksgiving Day. Pulling off the Halloween decorations and setting up the reindeer and tree outside is a bit too much. You gotta have a dead period before you try setting up anything. My family likes to put up our tree around Thanksgiving, and it’s kind of tradition now. It’s like the official transition into the best holiday ever.

In my opinion, the Christmas season starts the day after Thanksgiving or when it snows for the first time. I only really care about waiting until after Thanksgiving to listen to Christmas music if there is not any snow. I understand why people get annoyed with others who start putting up Christmas decorations the week before Halloween. I enjoy Christmas, but we also need to appreciate the holidays that come before it. With that being said, I am definitely going to listen to Christmas music on the way home today because there is snow on the ground.
