And Kelce made it clear that there&#8217;s really only one right answer to the question.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;When is it acceptable to start decorating for Christmas?&#8221; the Chiefs roster was asked, as seen in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DRC5lfzEetJ\/?igsh=YXZlczR4ajE2cm1v\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"externalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> video shared by the team on Friday, Nov. 14. &#8220;November 1, or after Thanksgiving&#8221; were the only two options put forth in the caption.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> The clip began with wide receiver Rashee Rice restating the question as he began to think about his answer. It then cut to the tight end, who shared his answer without hesitation.\n<\/p>\n<p> Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce speak after an NFL football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Dec. 25, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>AP Photo\/Matt Freed<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;After Thanksgiving,&#8221; said Kelce, who added, &#8220;Come on man, everybody knows that!&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> The video continued as they surveyed several of the jersey-clad players, who were walking through the tunnels of the Chiefs&#8217; training facility.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> The answer, meanwhile, was not a unanimous one. Players were evenly split on whether they start getting into the Christmas spirit before Thanksgiving or after the turkey-centric day.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Running back Kareem Hunt sided with Kelce, sharing that he starts decorating for Christmas after Thanksgiving, which falls on Thursday, Nov. 28 this year.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Hollywood Brown, meanwhile, said he doesn&#8217;t start getting festive until Nov. 29.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said he starts decorating the &#8220;day after Thanksgiving,&#8221; while defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi made mention that &#8220;people start decorating after Halloween!&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> Stacey Dales interviews Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce on Christmas on Dec. 25, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Alberti\/Icon Sportswire via Getty<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_30-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Chris Jones, meanwhile, didn&#8217;t hold back on his firm take.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_32-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Well you got to be very transparent with this,&#8221; he made clear. &#8220;Some people put their lights up right before Thanksgiving, which I think is crazy. Stop putting the lights up so damn\u00a0early. I think the appropriate time to put the lights up, I think the first week of December.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_34-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> He asked, &#8220;That&#8217;s fair, right?&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_36-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> This year, the Chiefs won&#8217;t be able to decorate on the big day, given they play on Thanksgiving.
