When do decorations usually go up and come down? Are there any unique traditions?

    That’s a narrower time period than the US. A decent number of people have Christmas decorations up already in the US, and Christmas stuff has been in stores for a while already.

      U.S. sample size of 1 here. I don’t have any Christmas decorations up yet, but we have begun updating gift lists, purchasing some gifts (I monitor sales to find the actually decent ones for the 3-4 months prior, but don’t usually buy unless it’s really good), and we’ve watched a couple of Christmas-ish movies (Rise of the Guardians and Alien X-mas). We’ll put up our decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving. Oh, and I keep an eye out for Christmas decorations we like for a decent price. Haven’t found any yet. Did fine a decent projector for half off. I suspect it’s really more like $40 off, but that’s decent. Haven’t bought it yet, though.

      Another Aussie here, what JustARegularNerd said is/was generally true, but this year I’ve noticed decorations for sale from October and my neighbours mostly already have their decorations up (most from early November, but one from 2 days before Halloween).
