When Will You be Getting Your Sims Ready for Christmas?

I'll wait until December. :)

I just do it when it comes up in the game. If I'm playing a family and it's around the corner I might set up for it. In some saves I have a Christmas Cabin in OR... so it's easy to send them on vacation that way. I'm not much of a decorator and to put them down and take them up house by house since I play more in rotation is rare for me. Maybe I'll put up another Christmas rental in SE when it drops :).

My Sims will be celebrating Chanukah

This makes me think about how we need a (ignores this holiday) option for households/sims on the calendar that we can click on. That way if we switch between multiple households in one save, but they have different interests, then we don't have to delete the holiday all together just for that household.

Once we celebrate Thanksgiving in RL, I'll be playing more than I have been and that means my Sims will have the time to properly enjoy the holiday season. I have been doing a lot of volunteer work for the last six weeks that has eaten into my gaming time, but that will end soon and I cannot wait to get back to my game.

I like to play the holidays & weather according to my own in real life. Right now my sim is getting ready for Halloween but won’t celebrate it until the actual day in real life lol. Same goes for the rest. She is stuck in fall season though & I use the machine to keep it that way until winter starts.

I celebrate the seasons with the inworld calendar. So it could be July for me and they could be in mid-winter.

Idk if I will have any household celebrate winterfest, right now I have all holidays deleted from the calender cause even though I play on the longest setting (and with aging off) they come up too often for me and tend to be boring if done too much.
I never plan these things a long time in advance either, when the ingame season comes I'll see if I feel like celebrating it with a household or not...depends on my mood.

I didn't know we could delete items from the calendar.

Agreed! It’s always a bit weird for my Catholic and Atheist families to share the same holidays.
