What Would You Do? Hanging Christmas Lights in the Gem State

What would you do? What would you do if there was a nice day in November and you had the opportunity to put Christmas decorations up, but believed in waiting until after Thanksgiving? Would you take advantage of the weather and put them up? If so, would you leave them off? Would you begin getting in the festive spirit? Are you someone who doesn't care when they go up, as long as you don't have to do it in the frigid temperatures of fall and winter? Most know in Idaho that you have limited days to decorate for Christmas without it being cold, but some also believe in waiting until after Thanksgiving. If a nice day happened this week or next, what would you do?

When to Hang Christmas Lights in Idaho

Halloween has come and gone, and the calendar now reads November. Thanksgiving is still weeks away, and Christmas is just under two months away. Depending on who you are, you might be somebody who is already focused on Christmas and decorating for the holiday season, or perhaps you are someone who believes in each holiday getting its own day and waiting until the days after Thanksgiving to put up holiday decorations. For anyone who has lived in Idaho for any certain amount of time, it is known that waiting may lead to consequences you don't want to deal with. Typically, the temperatures get cold in November, and the odds of them rising are slim, although it does happen from time to time. With this in mind, when should you hang Christmas lights?

Hanging Christmas Lights in Idaho

When it comes to hanging Christmas lights in Idaho, there are two options. Doing it when you want to and what fits your schedule, and doing it when Mother Nature allows you to. As many know, when a nice day happens in November, it is best to take advantage of it if planning to put up outdoor decorations for the holidays. This allows you to have feeling in your hands, no wind blowing as you climb the ladder, and keeps you dry as you decorate. Or you can do it when you plan to, but you may deal with bad weather conditions, making the experience more miserable.

You may have already missed the best chance in the days right after Halloween. You never know what the weather will do in Idaho, but if a nice weekend is in the forecast this November, do you hang your Christmas lights or wait? What would you do?
