Christmas is the happiest and most joy filled holiday. Is Christmas celebrated too early or too late? During this time of the year there's a big debate about setting up your Christmas tree before thanksgiving. Scientists have even looked into this debate, trying to prove one side or the other.
Studies have shown that setting up your Christmas tree before thanksgiving actually makes you happier and more friendly. Psychologists have proven that Christmas decorations bring you back to a simpler and happier place meantally. On the more scientific side then mentally, Christmas decorations help boost dopamine. Dopamine is a hormone that helps regulate your moods,sleep, appetite, digestion, learning ability, and memory. On the other hand some people have said they feel like they're skipping over thanksgiving and not celebrating it enough.
I personally think that you should set up your Christmas tree before thanksgiving for different reasons. First, It literally makes you a happier person to set Christmas decor up. Scientists have even proven this with multiple different studies, mentally and physically. Lots of people are changing their traditions to setting trees up early. Tree farmers have even shown that people are now buying their trees early. Tree farmers have said that for a long time they have been selling most trees two weeks before Christmas, but now they are selling the most trees at the end of november.
Do you think it's too early to set up your Christmas decorations before thanksgiving?
When do you set up your Christmas tree?

Great topic choice and well done overall Teya! I do think your summary could be just a tad longer.
Personally I don't care about setting up a Christmas tree at all or decorating. I don't think Thanksgiving is really a bid deal either. So I don't care which one comes first. I would wait with setting up the tree cause it get in the way. And the cats and dog mess with it.
I feel that if you want to set up christmas decorations before thanksgiving then do it but I wouldn't do it myself. If it were me I would want to put up my christmas decorations up right after thanksgiving I feel waiting makes you more happier for getting ready for christmas. I put up my christmas tree up either a day or two after thanksgiving.
I do not think its too early to set up for Christmas before Thanksgiving. I don't personally care it is not a huge deal to me. I think it depends on the person if they like Christmas that much. I have no idea when our tree goes up I don't know the specific day.
I personally think that you shouldn't set up christmas decrotions before thanksgiving and that you shouldn't listen to christmas music before thanksgiving etheir because it is like setting up for halloween before the Fourth of July. My family waits till after thanksgiving to set up our tree.
In my opinion people can set up their Christmas tree whenever they feel like it but in my opinion the most logical time to set up a Christmas tree is at the beginning of December. But of course, many people dont think that way which is acually completely fine. People should be able to decorate whenever they want to because its their home. Even though I am one with the opinion that you should be able to set up whenever you want to, my family prefers to do it a bit before Thanksgiving.
I think people should be able to decorate with whatever you want. Some people might even keep their Christmas decorations up all around the year. I think it should be peoples choice of when they decorate. It's not wrong to decorate before Thanksgiving or even the day after it's all about what people want to do and if they want to decorate earlier on they should be able too. My family usually sets up the Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving or even a few weeks after.
I don't think that setting your tree up before Thanksgiving is too early. It may distract from thanksgiving a little but if it boosts your mood then sitting it up wouldn't be so bad. Then again I think that sitting up your Christmas tree may be a little too early since it will still be over a month away. It doesn't really matter when you sit the decorations up though because it's your choice.
I think that if you put up your Christmas tree before Thanksgiving. It would make people lose the Christmas spirit too quickly. I think that we need to give thanks and celebrate Thanksgiving before we can celebrate Christmas. I personally set my tree up after Thanksgiving.
Personally I think that after thanksgiving is a good time to start setting up Christmas decorations. I have seen a lot of people putting stuff up fpr christmas even a week or two before Thanksgiving. It really doesn't affect me so I don't really care what people do, but I do think some people set it up too early.
