Now that there's a study to back up our affinity for early Christmas decorating, the question is, how early is too early? Since dressing the tree before October officially begins is probably a wee bit too much, we came up with 19 things you can buy to put up now that will get your house in the mood for the holidays. From twinkly lights to rustic-inspired table decor, we have all of the items you have full permission to display today.
The flickering faux flame on these Premium Flicker Flameless Candles ($38-$44, originally $64-$74) looks so real.
Light up your front yard with these 3D Foldable Lighted Spheres ($99-$199). When Winter is over, simply collapse the spheres and put them in storage — their collapsed design can easily squeeze into small spaces.
We can't wait to hang this pretty LC Lauren Conrad Artificial Botanical Christmas Wreath ($48) on our front door, and it can totally go outside now!
The Twinkle Star 300 LED Window Curtain String Light ($16) creates such a lovely atmosphere in the home.
We love the idea of silver and blue pillows. If you do too, try the CaliTime Pack of 2 Cushion Covers Throw Pillow ($16).
The Kevin Textile Decorative Glitzy Sequin & Comfy Satin Solid Throw Pillow ($15) will transform any space in a flash.
The DII Cotton Buffalo Check Table Runner ($9) sets a rustic preholiday mood without being too much.
This Meadow Woven Wreath ($68) would look great against a painted door.

Set these Banberry Designs Poinsettia Flowers Pick Set of 4 ($14) on the table or in vases.
You can probably leave the Timeyard Macrame Woven Wall Hanging Fringe Garland Banner ($17) up year-round.
This Birch Bark Tea Light Holder ($12) is down to earth.
Set out the Wooden Cabin Stocking Holder ($38) now, and just wait until later in the season to add the stocking.
The Novelty 3D Illusion Lamps LED Alpaca Llama Night Light ($17) can display seven different colors, so you can set it to red or green as the season progresses.
Create a cozy atmosphere with the moody light that the Caleb Lantern ($50-$299) gives off.
Set an eerie tone for the haunted night ahead with the Booker Candlesticks Set of Four ($62, originally $78).
