I accidentally bought something like that this year, we picked up what thought was a partially decorated tree - turned out it was half a flocked tree!

Holy (or should that be Holly?) thread resurrection!
Mid December feels about right for festive erections. No decent person should put up Christmas decorations before the start of December at the very earliest.
I used to have some neighbours who always left their Christmas decorations up until at least February. I think one year they didn't take them down at all. And they didn't even have any children to blame for this affront to common decency.

Won’t be until at least 8th December, daughters birthday is on the first weekend of December, with a small party the Saturday after at the house.
An absolute win there, will always have justification to not put it up earlier than the correct time for it (2nd week of December!!)

Ooh, look at you following the ‘it’s cool to hate Christmas’ stereotype. Very impressive

Our tree goes up on the 1st of December and comes down on the 25th of December in the evening.
I live in a bungalow so a month (well 25 days) of the tree being up its good to get it put away and reclaim what little space I have left in the front room

Working this Christmas, so not even having a Christmas dinner. Can't be bothered with decorations and all the associated mither that goes with it.
EDIT: Moved into my new place in July, don't think I brought any of the Christmas crap with me. And now I'm single I don't think I can be arsed to buy any new stuff.

Ours comes down on the 5 Jan. That’s the correct time, 12th day of Christmas, when the 3 wise men arrived in Bethlehem

Why would anyone put a Christmas tree up in November?

Our tree goes up around the 1st or the Sunday closest to the 1st.
We normally take them down either on the 1st or 2nd January.
We live in a mid-terrace house with no front garden, but I really want to put some lights out the front this year. The Mrs said no, and asked where am I going to put them.

I'm gonna put the outside lights on the house soon.
I won't turn them on until the inside decorations go up about two weeks before Christmas, but it's good to get them up early on a dry day.
