when is it actually socially acceptable to decorate for Christmas?

Okay so this is a thought that I have been wondering about since like mid October but obviously without being out of the Halloween spirit.

When is it socially acceptable to decorate for Christmas?

Now obviously this differs on culture and traditions and what not but now we are talking bout the generality.

the obvious answer would be December 1st, right? BUT what if that is technically too early or even too late

some might say November 1st

maybe its when stores start selling Christmas stuff?

perhaps you should do it when the first snowfall of the upcoming winter season has fallen.. 

or is it even right after black Friday?

There are a bunch of questions and I will make sure to answer all of them, to make sure we get the best answer we need to check all factors 

Now I'm going to just say that there is NO WAY that November 1st is right, I mean 1st of all, you are still in the Halloween/autumn mood NOT Christmas you cant go from watching Dawn of the dead to Home Alone in less than 24h an well if its too early to watch Christmas movies then it has to be too early to decorate. And its still in the phase where the weather is still in autumn witch means its still perhaps 10 Celsius/50 Fahrenheit which is too "warm" to be in a cosy winter Christmas vibe. so it does not feel like that is the socially acceptable time to take out the Christmas decorations. November 1st is OFF the list 

Now when stores start selling Christmas stuff also just cannot be the right answer because stores start selling stuff already in SEPTEMBER and well that is obviously wayy to early. but you could also think its when stores go full on Christmas but that can sometimes be too early i mean some stores go full on festive on November 1st and we have already crossed that out so I really can't see how the answer could be this.

I think that The first snowfall might just might be the answer because we all know snow = winter and winter = Christmas or well at least one third of winter BUT anyway snow means its the start of the winter season. And well Christmas decorations with snow outside is the best combination. but the only problem here is The southern hemisphere, They don't get snow they get warm sunny weather. so what would be the answer for them if that is the case. Maybe that is when it starts getting really really warm or when the leaves are back onto the trees after their "spring season".. hmm 

OKAY what about after black Friday? Okay so this might be the the most probable answer because well most people buy their Christmas gifts on Black Friday and well Christmas gifts gotta go somewhere you know.. that would mean that you need a Christmas tree to put the presents under.. Unless you have a family who puts the gifts under the tree on Christmas eve/The night before Christmas eve (if you are in a country where Christmas is celebrated on the 24th like for example Sweden) BUT Black Friday = the buying of Christmas presents and so that might be it?

NOW our main runners are December 1st, The first snowfall and After Black Friday

but we can't forget that we are talking about "Socially acceptable" so this is not a desicion i can make on my own so therefore i have called 20 of my friends and asked them on their opinion and the aswer was very interesting 

5 of them answered misc. 2 of them said Nov 1st, 1 said when Mariah Carrey defrosts, 1 said all year round and 1 said Nov 16th because that's halfway through December.

No one said after the first snowfall which is very interesting..

6 people said after Black Friday or 1st of advent (because we are in Sweden) which i counted as after black Friday because that's like 3 days after black Friday or something

and 9 answered December 1st. 

So the majority voted for December 1st which makes December 1st the right answer

Now if you have any input on this feel free to comment!!

but in conclusion DECEMBER 1ST is when you should start taking out the Christmas decorations!!!! thank you so much for reading!!...... maybe ill even make a "when should you take down the Christmas decorations" sooner or later
