Nah, you're fine.  I only got the tree put up a few days ago and we're not doing any outside decorations this year. 

Seems that most of the neighbors have put theirs up in the past week as well.

We are getting the tree this weekend.  That should star the ball rolling.

We normally put our Christmas decorations up on Thanksgiving weekend.  This year I was replacing the kitchen/dining room floor and we didn't get to it until this past weekend.  The kids kept asking and asking.

Lots of folks around us had their outside lights up before thanksgiving. That is something I would never do.

Until it snowed before thanksgiving and by the time I got around to putting up lights there was a nice icy coating on the roof.

Next year I'll do the lights before Thanksgiving, but I'm not turning them on until after.

Not sure how I am going to get the plastic santa off the roof after the snow today.

I have no decorations up, but there's a pretty good chance I won't put any up.  We don't celebrate at home, so it ends up not being worth it if I'm too busy.  If I was less busy at work, I probably would, but not this year.

The tree is up and lights on.  Nothing else, the decorations are still up in the attic.  Just a tree with lights.  I would have a Charlie Brown tree if it was up to me.  All the decorating is waaaay over  rated besides the dogs don't care one way or the other.

I don't have anything up and probably won't even decorate.  (It's not much fun to decorate, since I live by myself.)  When I was kid, we always decorated on Thanksgiving Day while watching football.

Meh.
Just put up a plain wreath on the door the other day, and some garland on the mantle as well. Not feeling very festive this year. Skipped the usual bush lights out front, and I haven't gotten a tree in years.

Nah.  You be good.

I didn't put any up this year - wifey did.  I just wasn't in the mood for decoratin' due to training.  I'm almost humbug-ish this year - I think it's due to work.

 You are way behind A-man. CalgaryRunner had his up and running two weeks ago http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=140535&posts=7#M1829868 . I spent a couple hours this weekend installing a dedicated circuit with outlets and a switch for lights. Put it in the corner of the garage and now I don't have extension cords running all over the place in my garage to trip me up.
