We had ALL of our stuff up LAST week. I have caught flak for it but

I DON'T CARE!!! My Wife and I really enjoy it. It's a lot of work and every year, it seems like we no sooner put it up and then we are taking it down. Ours goes up early but we take it down promptly. The house lights are usually down by New Years and the tree is down a day or two later. I have one neighbor who gives me hell about being early but will leave his stuff up till close to February. Bottom line......We love it! Nuff said.
