We always put the decorations up the weekend after Thanksgiving. Lance and I did it yesterday. I decorated the fireplace and put up my mini tree that I've had since high school. And then we put up the big tree in our living room.
We don't do any exterior lights. My family always used to when I was growing up, but when Lance and I lived in Germany, there weren't many houses that used exterior lighting, so we just didn't do it. And we haven't done it since we moved back to the U.S. (mostly because we don't really have any extra lights to do exterior lighting...maybe next year).
I only leave up the decorations until about New Year's Day or the day after. At the point, the holidays are over and I want to get on with my life. Lance doesn't usually like to take them down so early, but I insist on it. It helps me get the new year started off right.
