So, Anyone Got Their Christmas Tree(s) Up Yet?

[{SAS}TB]

Will be the weekend of the 30th/1st

Not sure if we're having the artificial tree(s) or real this year as we are away over Xmas

Yip. It's up. In the attic. Where it belongs in November

Funny, I was thinking about that today.

Not long now.

I used to love Christmas when I was a kid. Not so much now, my family are all dead. BUUUT, I still like to make the effort.

 

[Yaayuh!]

First weekend of December, always.

We tend to do the first or 2nd week of december, down around new year's.

 

[something daft already!!]

Ban TBH. We used to put ours up after my Mum's birthday, 15th of December. You would be completely sick of it, doing so now, I'd have thought.

 

[Maccy]

We should ban anyone that puts their tree up in November. Ban them until Christmas day...

 

[pepp77]

Probably put it up on the 1st

Decorating takes time, so I want my money's worth for my effort, and the build up to Christmas is way, way better than the post-25th aftermath, when you realise Santa isn't bringing you what you wanted, after all, and everything suddenly feels tired and mildly depressing. Of course, that's easy to say now I'm not in retail any more and dreading the endless Christmas songs and consumerist addiction. I used to have really bad seasonal humbuggery. #NotThatKind

So now I start decorating on the anniversary of my Mum's death on Nov 15th, and steadily jolly the place up until the tree goes up on Dec 1st (a man gotta have a code! #Omar). But I may start putting (white only) lights up sooner, outside. Long, dark evenings need a bit of cheering up. Coloured ones from Dec 1st, only, though. Them's the rules.

By New Year's Day it'll all be gone, ready for a fresh new... er, miserable January.

My wife put the work one up on Friday at the salon.

I will ban anyone who says that it’s up in the house yet. Second week of December for me this year I think.

 

[DJMK4]

I live alone, so no.

I put some lights up in the window to show my fellow neighbors that I am not a scrooge. Then they keep falling down because the tape has come off, they get tangled in the window blinds. I put them back up but don't make a big effort of it. then i go out the front and realise they look like a droopy pair of boobs

Wow. This is crazy. You guys have Xmas decs up before December??christof Christmas tree is in his 7th or 8th year with us now. As he's alive he can't come in too early. He's lost his Christmas tree shape.

If it was up to my missus we would - I'm normally on high-alert in November and have to keep warning her not to do it. She normally gets her own way around the last week of November. She is 54 years old

 

[andy_mk3]

Not until mid December I hope! Putting it up this early, sick of the sight of it before December is even here.

 

[Deep]

I'll whack mine up on the 1st of December, it's a Sunday so easy to do

What makes you so special that everyone’s got to live by your rules?

 

[Worthy]

What makes you so special that everyone’s got to live by your rules?

Lots of things. I’ve got a list that I’ll get over to you by CoP.

Not even considering Christmas yet.

I tend to think about Christmas once Fireworks night is over with as its the next thing coming up in the calendar

My other half is just as bad.

There is a ban on all Christmas movies, Christmas shopping and related foods. If she comes home with any before December I have jokingly said she is not coming in the house until they have been returned to the shop for a refund!

We have a discussion every year of when the tree is going up and I put it off as long as possible
