[Poll] When is the best time to start celebrating Christmas?

[PraxHeadroom]

After seeing the mixed response to the Agora Christmas theme being unveiled this early, I'm curious about everyone's opinion on what the correct time to celebrate Christmas is.
I personally prefer waiting a little to start celebrating, some time in the first week of December. Not because I hate Christmas or anything, but just because prolonging it over such a long stretch of time cheapens it and makes Christmas day (the actual important part) not seem so important.

My wife gets pissed whenever I say this, cause usually she wants to watch Christmas movies the day after Halloween.

the best day 2 start celebrating christmas is whenever u feel like u need that xxtra boost of christmas energy tbh ... ive never rlly had a specific day that i start celebrating it ... its moar or less something that u ease into

 

[vulonkaaz]

i'm just upset that nothing special happened for halloween

 

[RisingThumb]

Filipinos start Christmas celebrations as early as September. Honestly, I think they're in the right

kind of weird to see everyone celebrating christmas this early, its not just agora. like, city christmas decorations are already up. its not even nov 20th!?

I like Christmas but past a certain point the public celebrations, decorations, carols, etc. become obnoxious and depressing, especially the constant reminders that you're obligated to be extra-happy, extra-joyful, extra-festive, etc. for purely secular reasons just because it's December. It's oppressive and always has the opposite effect on me. A concentrated dose of sincere Christmas spirit starting in mid-December would be ideal, but instead they have to stretch it out for more than a month to get people to buy more stuff.
Holidays in general are more special and fun if they're short and to the point instead of being dragged out.

I like to start thinking about it before Thanksgiving to start thinking more about holiday gifts that I want to get for everyone. But actual decorations and all of that? Save it for mid-December. I haven't even had any pumpkin pie yet!

Seems like every year people are willing to put up decorations and start celebrating earlier and earlier, I get holiday cheer and all but it just makes it less special. Save it for December.

The world is getting more depressing and depressing, THEREFORE, the general public wants to be quicker and quicker in a christmas mood because everyone is supposed to be happy during that. I do get my christmas spirit hyped up on december 1st, I just really enjoy winter and I enjoy people being nice to me again, even if it's forced, it makes me feel normal

To me is the last week of november, because when i was in school we didn't have summer vacations, so our vacations went from 23th of november, to 23th of february. So my mind hardcoded the idea of christmas mood starting from 23th of november, to 1st of january (even tho that's new year)

But tbh i always thought 1st of december is the most fitting one to start with the christmas mood, not literally 2 days after halloween, i really really hate christmas creep.

Love Christmas desserts like eggnog, peppermint hot chocolate, etc, but the theme is definitely here too early. I think December 1st is okay, but after Thanksgiving at a minimum. It's still pumpkin spice season rn! I'm baking a pie tomorrow and cleaning up the fallen leaves in the backyard...

Thanksgiving is the forgotten middle child of the holidays, unfortunately

I celebrate christmas superficially (my family will decorate a christmas tree and give gifts even though were all completely non-religious lmao) but I hate insane decoration consoomerism and everything that comes with it. HOWEVER... I really like towns and cities being decorated in lights specifically. Parks, town centres etc. should all be decorated the moment we get out of daylight savings and nights arrive earlier because it breathes life into these areas that would otherwise look dark and depressing during the night.

Not only that, but some downtown spots will have snow/ice sculptures that are simply fantastic

Yeah, I personally think that the first week of December is the best time to start celebrating as, agreeing with OP, it cheapens it if you do it too early. However, ultimately it's really a to each their own situation (Unless I have to hear Mariah Carrey before December 1st, cause then I'm pissed).

To be fair, that is because Thanksgiving is only celebrated in a select few countries~

Put a condom on Christmas because it's coming.
