“#Christmas decor is now going up in early November<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n It\u2019s beginning to look a lot like \u2026 Christmas?<\/p>\n

Early November ushered in a summer-like heatwave to the East Coast, along with 9-foot trees, nativity scenes and Christmas villages as the pandemic jumpstarted the holiday season.<\/p>\n

Stressed-out Santa enthusiasts say these unseasonable trimmings provide them with some much-needed cheer \u2014 even if the neighbors think they\u2019re crazy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to be the only one on the block \u2014 and proud of it,\u201d said Lani Savage, a 39-year-old mom of two from Mineola, LI, of her holiday decor. \u201cI pulled everything out the day after Halloween. I was always the person who didn\u2019t want to rush the holidays. I always said, \u2018How can anyone decorate before Thanksgiving?\u2019 But now I don\u2019t care. It\u2019s a beautiful distraction and something to look forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her\u00a0son Curtis, 5, was happ<\/a>y to play Santa\u2019s helper. \u201cIs Christmas coming soon?\u201d he asked his mom, who explained, \u201cWe\u2019re just getting a head start.\u201d<\/p>\n

Black Friday usually heralds the Christmas season, but this year, the start has come several weeks early. On Nov. 1, actress January Jones posted<\/a> an Instagram of herself cradling a Santa decoration in front of a stocking-strewn fireplace daring followers to \u201cjudge away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Westhampton mom Chelsea Surgan also replaced the Halloween bats dotting her mantle with Christmas stockings on the first day of the month.<\/p>\n

\u201cChristmas is my favorite time of year,\u201d she said. \u201cI wanted all the positive feelings. I felt like we could all just use a little extra joy this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Surgan, who is five months pregnant with her second child, decking the halls has taken her mind off of not being able to social<\/a>ize the past few months. Her husband was initially skeptical of the untimely tinsel, but \u201cwith me being pregnant, he wasn\u2019t going to say no,\u201d she said with a laugh.<\/p>\n

Jenn Maringione was still in her summer clothes when she decked out her Suffolk County home with a lit-up ceramic Christmas village on her entryway table, snow globes in the bathrooms, and an 8-foot faux tree and a 6-foot-tall singing Santa in her living room.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tree is lit, and we were in shorts yesterday, but we don\u2019t care,\u201d said the 33-year-old mom of three whose husband is a police officer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, after everything, you just want to appreciate the little things. Maybe it\u2019s a little crazy, but there\u2019s not a lot of normalcy this year, and this made it feel a little normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

One benefit to getting a jump on jollying up the house is basking in the beauty for the whole season. \u201cI feel like you work so hard to decorate for Christmas to only enjoy it for such a short period,\u201d said Lauren Conway, 29, who has put up wreaths, garlands and lights. \u201cNo rules 2020,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Even Christmas traditionalist Joanne Mckeon is breaking the rules.<\/p>\n

Her parents\u2019 Great Neck home was showcased by local news<\/a> in the \u201980s for their elaborate decorations, which included a full-size sleigh and reindeer suspended in the air. But this year, she\u2019s stringing lights early for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo thousand twenty has had a lot of downs, and luckily, all of us are alive and well,\u201d the 50-something from Hicksville, LI, said. \u201cThe weather happened to be great this week, and we thought, \u2018Why not?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been playing Christmas music in the house day and night to feel the magic of Christmas,\u201d she said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t have to be December to feel that Christmas love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maringione, for one, is thrilled her decor is spreading joy. \u201cThe UPS guy lit up when he came by,\u201d she said. \u201cHe said, \u2018You literally put a smile on my face.\u2019 \u201c<\/span>\n <\/div>\n
