With unemployment still high, gifts might be less of a priority this year for some.<\/p>\n<p>But we wondered how the pandemic has impacted one of our favorite holiday traditions &mdash;&nbsp;decorating. Has COVID-19 changed how Americans are decorating their homes for the season? Has it changed how we think about and appreciate our holiday decorations?<\/p>\n<p>We surveyed 1,101 Americans to find out, and now it&rsquo;s here: <strong><b>Neighbor&rsquo;s 2020 &ldquo;Deck the Halls&rdquo; Report<\/b><\/strong>. We&rsquo;ll dig deeper into all of these statistics down below, but here&rsquo;s a quick summary of some of the most interesting things we learned:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The largest share of respondents (around a third of them) say <strong><b>the day after Thanksgiving is the best day to put up decorations<\/b><\/strong>. Dec. 1 and the Saturday after Thanksgiving were also popular days for decorating.<\/li>\n<li>More than half of Americans say it&rsquo;s OK to leave your decorations up past Jan. 1 &mdash;&nbsp;<strong><b>51% of respondents said Jan. 2 is the best day to take them down<\/b><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>With that in mind, when is &ldquo;too late&rdquo; to still have decorations up? Respondents were divided &mdash;&nbsp;<strong><b>31% said Jan. 15, and 33% said Feb. 1<\/b><\/strong>. Don&rsquo;t tell that to the 9% who said it&rsquo;s fine to leave them up all year.<\/li>\n<li>Lights out? Apparently not. <strong><b>Almost half of Americans say it&rsquo;s totally OK to leave holiday lights on all night long<\/b><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>How does COVID-19 factor in when it comes to holiday decorating? <strong><b>Almost half of Americans said they&rsquo;re either decorating earlier or decorating more than usual<\/b><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><b><\/b><strong><b>83% said decorations are helping bring more joy to a tough year<\/b><\/strong>. But people are also decorating more and earlier because they&rsquo;re spending more time at home, and can take time to really enjoy their holiday handiwork.<\/li>\n<li>The holiday spirit abounds! 74% of people are feeling neighborly about the holidays, and <strong><b>don&rsquo;t see decorating as a competition with their neighbors<\/b><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"when-should-decorations-go-up-at-least-wait-til-after-thanksgiving\">When Should Decorations Go Up?
