Although we still have Thanksgiving to get through, the unofficial Queen of Christmas says we can start decking the halls the day after Halloween, Nov. 1.

Despite Carey declaring the Christmas season has begun, it opens up the debate once again – when is it time to put up the lights and Christmas Tree?

According to Country Living, traditionally, people should put up their trees and decor the first day of Advent, which is the fourth Sunday before Christmas.
