After Thanksgiving*
For putting up the tree and stuff like that. However living in a cold climate where it gets dark super early after daylight savings time. I like the idea of the lights on houses being allowed on from now until mid March. I personally see it as a cold season thing.
Ans I don't get mad at places playing Xmas music. That's petty.

A week after Thanksgiving. We still have Colonialist Bullshit Food Day to get through before Hyper-Capitalist Day can start.
First day of December, which is what it should be unlike the weirdoes who start celebrating the moment it hit midnight yesterday
After Thanksgiving. I don't want to hear a Christmas song, see decorations, or see a commercial about Christmas until after I hate myself for eating too much stuffing.
I'm another Scrooge, Christmas Eve to Boxing Day, I just have never felt particularly festive around Christmas since I was about 11-13ish. I don't have any particular distaste for Christmas except for the songs, they drive me nuts as I have probably heard every song that will play hundreds of times over the years already. It was OK last year as I was working from home, this year I am back in the office. The extra Bank Holiday's are welcome though.
Edit: one thing in Christmas' favour though is the mince pie availability, they are lush warm out the oven with cold cream poured on.

When I first see the Coca Cola advert.
Real answer, December 1st ish. Or the first weekend of December. One of those.

As soon as I out down my fork after turkey dinner on turkey day.
My beard instantly turns white, I start craving cookies and carrots, and my wardrobe gets singular minded

Usually the day after Thanksgiving. But really from about Oct 1 I'm battling with my wife to prolong it for as long as possible, so really it starts about 5 seconds after we're done with Thanksgiving dinner. Decorations start going up as soon as people leave the house. The tree might go up that night or the next day depending on how late it is.
Day after thanksgiving in our house. The Friday after Thanksgiving we go to get our Christmas tree, well really whatever day has the best weather that weekend, and that's the official "start" of Christmas season for me. Been going to the same tree farm for about ~32 years or so, 4 generations of my family have been out there to get our respective trees.
I'll get my Christmas lights/decorations up on the Monday after thanksgiving. I usually take that day off to turn it into a 5 day weekend and use the Monday to get everything set up.
I'm the opposite from a lot of people... my wife is a grinch who hates christmas to be a holiday hipster, and so Christmas decorations are up to me.

like many, after thanksgiving. i've always associated christmas with winter and i want to stretch out the fall season for as long as i can. i've always lived in the south where we barely have fall, don't just start throwing snowman imagery at me right after halloween
in europe at least germany and northern europe that begins on first day of advent, and this year that starts on 28 november. when advent starts its also when christmas markets go up
Thanksgiving is on a Thursday, the Christmas season starts that Friday; haters back off 'til New Years' Day.
