Right. But not much later.

We typically decorate about a week before Christmas. When the kids were little, we decorated on Christmas Eve. It's Advent up until that date, you know, not Christmas.

Decorating on Christmas Eve is also dumb.

Christmas season starts at sunset on Christmas Eve, so it is actually the most proper time to decorate.

And yet most churches put up their nativity scenes well before Christmas Eve.

Uh, yes, Catholic ones. I am a Catholic.

Nativity scenes go up December 9 or earlier. Baby is placed on Christmas Eve.

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

Ours usually puts up the nativity and trees after the Sunday morning mass on the 4th Sunday of Advent.

We're still in Ordinary Time. Right now the readings are focusing on the Last Things. Don't get ahead of yourself. There is a time for all things.

Advent, when we start the preparation to celebrate Christ's birth, starts on December 1.

First I forbid my wife to put up anything Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving. Secondly we in the Orthodox Faith started our Advent on November 15th and will break our fast on Christmas Day.

Used to do the same thing with our nativity scene. Now the Baby Jesus stays in the manger due to fear of losing Him!

Nope. I was born on Thanksgiving, and everyone around me knows that Christmas stuff doesn't even get pulled out until after Thanksgiving.
