June has arrived, the days are long, and summer is in full swing. But for some eager beavers, the question of holiday decorations might already be creeping in: is it too early to start installing them?
Traditionally, decking the halls before Thanksgiving was a social faux pas. However, times are changing! Here’s a look at both sides of the argument to help you decide when to embrace the festive cheer:
The Case for Early Cheer:
- Spread the Joy: Let’s face it, 2024 could use a little extra sparkle! Putting up lights early can brighten your mood and share that cheer with your neighbors. Studies even suggest it can boost feelings of happiness and community spirit.
- Beat the Rush: The holiday season gets hectic. Getting your lights up early means one less thing to worry about in the coming months. No more scrambling to find time or battling the crowds for the best selection.
- Year-Round Sparkle: Why limit the magic to a few weeks? Permanent lighting systems, like Inception Lighting offered by Midas Holiday Lighting, allow you to enjoy festive lights all year round. Change the colors for different occasions or simply create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout the winter.
The Case for Patience:
- Savor the Seasons: There’s something special about the anticipation that builds as the holidays approach. Putting up lights in June might shorten that feeling of excitement.
- Weather Woes: Early lights face the brunt of summer heat and unpredictable storms. This can lead to damage and a shorter lifespan for your lights.
- The Traditionalists: Some folks simply prefer to wait until after Thanksgiving to usher in the holiday season. It’s a matter of personal preference and respecting traditions.
The Verdict: It’s Your Call!
There’s no right or wrong answer. If you’re itching to get festive, go for it! But if you prefer to wait, there’s no shame in that either.
Here are some tips no matter when you choose to decorate:
- Use energy-efficient LED lights. They last longer and save you money.
- Consider professional installation. Midas Holiday Lighting offers safe and secure installation for both seasonal and permanent lighting systems.
- Most importantly, have fun! The holidays are a time for joy and togetherness. Let your decorations reflect that spirit.
