"Of all the things women are mocked for, one of the most annoying is how early we like to decorate for fall. It literally harms no one, yet everybody has their opinion. This time of year is full of silly memes and videos making fun of how much women tend to love fall, and there is plenty of judgment set aside for those of us who have already scoured HomeGoods for something acorn-shaped or lit a pumpkin spice candle."
"Whether you're a decorate-as-soon-as-July-is-over kind of fall mom or the type that waits for Starbucks to release their Pumpkin Spice Latte, let it be known: You are allowed to enjoy things. And if fall decor brings you a special kind of joy, then start it up whenever you want. With that said, even the most fall-loving of moms have some ideas on when - and how - to decorate for this (superior) season. September 1 should be the official start date."
Women frequently face ridicule for decorating for fall early, despite causing no harm. Seasonal enthusiasm shows up in memes and videos that poke fun at avid fall lovers. Many find joy in items like acorn-shaped decor and pumpkin spice candles and defend their ability to enjoy seasonal rituals. Opinions among moms vary, but a common recommendation pins September 1 as a reasonable start date. Some prefer Labor Day weekend while others worry about becoming tired of decor if it appears too early. Gradual decorating—beginning small and then increasing—balances excitement and longevity. Personal preference and mental health influence timing and are valid reasons to decorate whenever desired.
