I put them up around mid November, usually the weekend after Remembrance Day (Veteran's Day for the US). I take the long ladder to put light around the house, so I want it up there for show a bit longer. I also put light around the maple tree in my front yard.
Early December.
Lots of decorations? Or keep it simple?
Fairly simple. Tree and a wreath on the front door.
Never.
Advent/Winter decorations = on 1st Advent
strictly Christmas deco = beginning on Christmas eve
I don't anymore, now that my little one is not so little anymore.
