Heck no, way too soon for that (it's not even December yet!)
My wife gets 2 weeks before *I* start putting the stuff up because I'm sick of it. Thankfully, this year she's caught the "sick of this holiday" bug and has vowed to not put out anything with a second vow that starting next year we are going on vacation over Christmas forever more to skip the stupidity her family tries to pull. My family never did make anything out of Christmas and I could care less about what this "holiday" has been turned into.
So, if stuff were going up this year, it'd probably be the weekend of the 10/11th and traditionally it's put away before dinner on Christmas day. Thankfully she has never been interested in outside decorations.
Jan 2nd can't get here fast enough. Wish I could simply sleep from now till then.
Haha. Yes! We started over the weekend when we still had Thanksgiving guests here to help bring everything up from the basement, and finished on Monday. Believe me, I am NOT a Christmas person and used to procrastinate horribly about doing any preparations, but when we moved from the east coast to a drier western climate, we bought an artificial tree for the first time, and it's so much easier now to get things done earlier without any concern about dropping needles.

Tomorrow is Dec 1st. I know some people put it out right after Thanksgiving, but we had an earlier Thanksgiving this year. I haven't seen any out in my neighborhood yet.
No, I feel like Thanksgiving weekend is way too early, although I see a lot of people in my neighborhood have done it.
Usually I would do mid-month, but I will be away the weekend of the 10th, and the week after is kind of close.
Maybe I will do outdoor decorations/lights this weekend and put up the Christmas tree the weekend of the 17th. I grew up in a traditional home where we didn't put the tree up until Christmas Eve, then that eventually morphed to putting it up the Sunday before Christmas. Putting a tree up inside the house a month before Christmas strikes me as a little ridiculous, but on the other hand, I notice a lot of people who do that don't actually observe the whole Christmas season and take the tree down before Epiphany.
The tree and decorations go up the day after Thanksgiving. We usually take them down the day after Christmas, but we may leave them up a little longer this year.
