We put it up 2-3 weeks before. Who cares when others choose to get in the spirit.
My thoughts entirely. No ones hurting anyone by putting their decorations up. It’s their home and their choice. If it makes them happy then good luck to them. It’s got **** all to with anyone else and the fact people choose to moan about it is just pathetic.

Rule? Rule? For Christmas trees and decorations?
Promise me that you’re having a laugh, the tree goes up and gets garlanded with lights and baubles whenever the enemy asks me to get it all out of the garage, it all comes down round about my old dad’s birthday, January 6.
I don’t mind adhering to rules about stopping at red lights, and insuring her car, plus paying the VED, surely that’s enough rules for anyone.

theres 2 houses joined together on a street near me with lights permanently on the wall all year round that have arrows saying santas runway etc..

I think it's one of those huge benefit families where the adults never worked and the kids wont either.

basically benefit breeders

I mean the rules are pretty clear and are there for a reason.
Putting up the tree was done traditionally at the start of advent which marks the lead up to the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Kind of the whole point of Christmas.

My parents put theirs up on Friday, which is far earlier than usual. They did it though because it's the anniversary of my late eldest brother's death, and he was a huge Christmas nut with his own family.

it's more about TV adverts these days, it's no wonder people are putting up the deco around the same time as the adverts start.

it's just a commercial event like most things

Can't people enjoy the true spirit of Christmas and Easter without bringing religion into it?
