According to Lauren Bright of NJ.com, holiday decoration custom and etiquette says that you should avoid putting up holiday decorations until the month of the holiday. Putting up decorations early may make people feel that they too must put their decorations up early. In addition, early decorating could confuse people as to what holidays are coming up. You have the right to put up decorations whenever you like. In some instances, putting up decorations early proves beneficial. Sammy's Tap and Grill in North Carolina puts up Christmas decorations early to let people know they are open on Thanksgiving and Christmas day. In addition, decorations always liven up a place. It is more socially acceptable to put up decorations at the appropriate time (near the actual holiday). In addition, putting up holidays lights and other electrical items early may pose an added fire hazard. According to University of Missouri Environmental Health and Safety, consumers should not use extension cords for more than 30 days.
