Welcome to the Holiday Kickoff Giveaway Hop, hosted by The Mommy Island & The Kids Did It!
It’s that time again! Or is it? Does it seem like the holiday season starts earlier to you? Is Labor Day too soon? When is it time to put up Christmas decorations? The day after Halloween? The day after Thanksgiving?
Is it too early – please, I sincerely hope it is – for the All Xmas Carol All The Time music channels to start playing everywhere?
When should the holiday season kick off? It seems like a question capable of being endlessly debated, with Thanksgiving and its poor, dried out turkey getting swallowed up in the middle. Maybe someone needs to pull the wishbone to get the best answer!
That IS the question for this hop’s rafflecopter, about when it feels like the holiday season – or what kicks that season off – in your mind. Let us know for a chance at Reading Reality’s usual hop prize, the winner’s choice of a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in books.
For more great prizes, whether for the holiday season or just because, be sure to visit the other stops on this hop!
When I buy a pumpkin, I feel like that is the real kick off for fall. Thanks for the giveaway. 🙂
I think it’s the change in weather that is the real kick off for me
The visit to the pumpkin patch!
The shorter days and fall temps.
going to an Apple orchard is the Fall holiday season kickoff for our family.

Cooler weather and changing leaves.
The cold weather.
When all the snowbirds start arriving from the north.
Cooler weather.
For me, the holiday season starts when the weather starts to cool. It happens suddenly here. Almost overnight.
The kickoff to the holiday season is our digging potatoes and carrots with the grandchildren.
It’s when I make cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving!
as soon as i get my fall decorations out
Seeing the leaves change and the cooler weather.
Cooler temperatures and finally fresh cider being available.
Pies and falling leaves,
Halloween is the kick-off of the holiday season for me!
The holidays are starting
I work in retail and when we start getting Christmas decorations in!
The start of the holiday season for me is when I start seeing holiday decorations at the store!
To me, the kickoff to the holiday season is cooler temperatures and colorful autumn leaves.
Once September gets here
When summer is over, I am ready to start thinking of the Holiday season.
When we have cooler weather and the school’s have fall festivals.
Halloween
I can not have the holidays all jumbled together. Thanksgiving and Halloween in my mind are firmly the fall season and Christmas and New Years are winter. We decorate for Christmas mid to late December, but we do leave our decorations up until after the feast of the Epiphany. I like that I get to enjoy my home all decorated for that time after Christmas after all of the rush to get to the day of.
Thanksgiving is the kickoff holiday in my mind.

When the weather starts getting cooler.
Cooler weather, and first frost. We usually have it by now.
For me, holidays don’t happen until Halloween.
The holidays start with Labor Day. That’s when you start prepping for Halloween. November 1st is when you start prepping for Thanksgiving. It’s also when I should start prepping for Christmas, as my usual M.O. of waiting for Black Friday is usually too late!
For our family September 1st we start getting in preparation for the fall and winter season of holidays!
When the leaves start to fall! 🙂
It is when my sister and I start shopping.
Kick off of the holiday season is my sis and I see a Christmas play or show every day!
seeing the leaves change color.
The kickoff is when I decorate for fall in September and then it begins!!!
When the weather starts to get cooler out.
Cooler temperatures and football!
When we go to our first corn maze! Thank you
thanksgiving is the kickoff of holiday season for me!
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
I don’t really enjoy Christmas anymore since my mom passed at that time.
When the Halloween stuff comes out in stores, you know Christmas stuff will follow- that is the beginning of it all to me.
For the Christmas holiday season, it’s Santa in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. For Halloween, it’s just October 1. Spooky Season time!
The first day of Fall kicks off the holiday season for me.
To be honest, I’m not sure, Halloween is over a month away, yet I’m already seeing Thanksgiving decorations at dollar stores!
You start finding pumpkin flavored everything, everywhere.
Seeing more of my nieces!
Halloween!! I’m so excited, I can’t wait! I love the decor so much!
Usually October is the kick off to all the Fall/Winter holidays to me. I love decorating!
Labor Day weekend for sure. We do an end of summer trip that weekend then its fall and holiday season!
