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

[jpaul]

was wondering how much the new philips hue lights cost - won't be having those @ £140, unless the box has several fifty pound notes inside too

Hear people put tree up mid Nov then take it down Boxing Day. Don’t get that at all

Thin walls?

I'm being told it's got to happen soon. My rule is always wait til December tho

 

[^TANK^]

I always put my Christmas tree and decorations up on the 1st of December.

Got home on sunday from a long weekend away hunting, and the wife had bought a new tree with all the flashing trimmings....Thought it was a bit early too.

Who will be that guy this year who buys the Lego Eiffel Tower and out lights on that instead?

 

[rG-tom]

Got my two up, both from the farm in the village:

7'3 beast in the living room





6'10 guy in the kitchen

Christmas tree farm opens last week of November, and given they last happily into new year might as well get our money's worth!

2 corner sofas?

1, the one on the left (as looking there) is a normal sofa with a movable foot rest

No tree here, but my fairy lights go up on Advent (1st Dec). I get the odd failure, but in general my collection grows because I buy an extra set every year. This year is no exception.

For those who are unsure about putting up a tree or some lights, don't be phased by Greta's green-washing or the press in general. Stand up to it!

We put ours up a little early but undecorated so we can train the kitten not to attack it.

Good luck!

Our new kittens have had most the lower decorations off on a regular basis but only a handful of attempts to climb it. I'm sure there will be more

Expecting more fun and games with them when the 9 footer goes up in the kitchen ....

 

[M1k3H]

Not yet, although most in our estate have had their decorations up for at least a week (maybe two). The missus has been asking me every week "Can we decorate this week?"....

So far I've resisted and told her we are decorating on the 10th of Dec.

Just a godinman safety warning.

My username really does suck now I've written it myself..huh.

My tree's going up this Sunday night, bit earlier than I'd have done pre-kids but they're super excited.

Decorations go up when the kids break for Christmas Holidays, main tree goes up in living room on Christmas Eve everything comes down on weekend preceding Twelfth Night.

Christmas is getting worse the period between Christmas and New Year has lost all specialness these days. Used to be people had long breaks and saw the family but now it seems like for many it's over with Christmas Pudding

Complaining it's over too early but not putting the tree up til Christmas eve? For me all of December is a festive time, this year my first work Christmas party is on the 1st December and invariably have many a drunken gathering between then and the day itself!

 

[cheesefest]

Fingers crossed my pre lit tree works. Still have a couple of spare replacement bulbs which are non existent to buy now. As tree lights are LED ones now

Not sure we'll get one this year as we're away for all of Christmas. But we'll see. I tend to leave it as late as possible.
