*** The official "I've put my tree up early" thread ***

honestly took us 2 hours to untangle them. Argh.

in the good old pre-led days when a bulb went that was equally challenging, finding the culprit, mains voltage too.
Not sure how many house fires there used to be.

Had thus tree 7yrs now. Still going strong. Obligatory cocktail view haha

 

[Hyburnate]

Looking good! I'm amazed at the number of presents, we've got about 10 things wrapped so far

 

[Liquid_Entity]

The wife likes to get things done early. Me, I'll be doing all of mine on Christmas Eve and badly.

Adding some fake height at the bottom

Not usually up this early but the kids put the small tree up in the lounge earlier....

The big tree is in the kitchen ready to go up at some point this week

Anyone else ?

 

[labbby]

You take it down each year ? Noob

 

[iamdjdz]

Na, I'll be pestered for it next weekend I imagine. Loads of our neighbours have them up already and wreaths on doors and the like, way too early for me, I'd have mine up on the 20th Dec if it were left up to me.

Ah, thought I must have been doing something wrong!

I'm the same, the later the better

I was expecting next weekend, but was in no mood to argue with the hangover I was nursing

 

[darael]

It's still November.

 

[V_R]

Yep the missus and kid put ours up yesterday afternoon.

 

[Azza]

That bay looks ideal to place a corner sofa in.

 

[Zeebedy]

Yeah, up tonight.

 

[Malevolence]

It isn't even ******* December yet! Mine goes up a couple of days before Christmas and comes down a couple of days after. But I might not bother this year, I'm working Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Ours went up today but only because next weekend’s busy and 10th feels too late (for a 4 year old and a 10 year old).

 

[andy_mk3]

Next weekend for us. I picked up a few outdoor lights from Homebase earlier as I’ve never bothered with them before and want to have a few for once. Always has to at least be December though. Put them up too early and I’m bored of it by the time Christmas comes.

 

[tom_nieto]

This weekend was our opportunity! Tree is up and the usual household fairy lights are there too.

Ideally it’d be the first weekend in December but we’re busy then so went earlier.

Merry Christmas everyone!

 

[Resident]

Yes, up in the ******** attic where it belongs until December....

 

[Joxeon]

Will probably put mine up next weekend although I did my Nans tree for her today as she wanted it up for the 1st and she's to old to put it up herself.

 

[martin363]

did ours yesterday, had a bad week and thought sod it, cheered us up a bit.
