Are you team fall in November or do you go all in on Christmas after Halloween?

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, and my mom always stayed on team fall with our decorations until the day after Thanksgiving, when we would put up our Christmas tree, bake Christmas cookies, listen to Christmas music, and fully transition over for the holidays. Last year, Cassidy and I didn’t get our tree up as early as we would like, and I found myself wanting to keep it up through January because I felt like I hadn’t gotten to enjoy it yet (#retaillife). This year, for all the reasons 2020 has had to offer, and #retaillife, I kind of want to celebrate the two simultaneously more than in years past, and I feel like it’s been the big debate on social media in the last week especially. I don’t think I’m quite ready to set up my tree or dispose of my pumpkins, but I am welcoming the Christmas spirit, but also still dressing for fall, but sometimes lighting a Christmas candle, but also sometimes a fall one, maybe it all just depends on the day... Now that we’re less than a week out from Thanksgiving, I will probably hold out this final stretch.

Have you decorated for Christmas yet? Have you started listening to Christmas music? Maybe most importantly, have you started your Christmas shopping?
