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

I was travelling earlier this week, and while Manchester airport had nothing up, Brussels had trees everywhere. The hotel in Madrid was well decked out too.

A few years ago the very large company I worked for had a re-org, and our department was going to cease to exist in October. As we tried to decide how to say goodbye, we eventually settled on having a Christmas party to make up for the fact that we wouldn't get a proper one that year.

So there were about 100 of us in Christmas get-up, and we had the canteen section off a bit for us, serve Turkey dinner with all the trimmings, and they even put the decorations up and crackers out for us. Was a really nice send off, but everyone else was rather puzzled.
 
Does the answer differ if it's a real tree or a plastic one? I'm not sure if I put a real tree up on 1 December it would be in any good shape come Christmas day.
 
I chose 1st December (Advent). Really though, I pick the nearest weekend to Advent. So it can be Fri/Sat/Sun if any of those fall on 1st December or give or take by a day if the 1st falls in the mid-week. This year will be 1st December as it falls on a Sunday.

As for post #3, I wouldn't class Die Hard as a Christmas film. This is because Christmas isn't the main theme of the film. The bulk of it is passengers trying to survive on an aeroplane that has been hijacked. The "Let It Snow" theme tune at the end is just a red herring.

Disney's Frozen, however much I like it, definitely ISN'T a Christmas film!

Christmas films to me would include: The Muppets (numerous titles), A Christmas Carol, the Snowman, some cartoon specials e.g. Garfield / Dennis the Menance / Bug's Bunny, and pretty much any films with "Santa Claus" in the title.
 
That's got to be a troll right? I'd take it at face value if you hadn't described the secondary plotline of Die Hard 2 as being the primary plotline of Die Hard 1. :D
 
We sorted our stuff a few days after Halloween. A bit minimalist this year as we need a new sofa from Santa (for a living room corner). Just a cheap pre-lit, but still blinged-out tree, and a wreath over the door and another on the mantel (just below the TV).

I didn't know there were sequels. Have I unwittingly described a sequel and wasn't aware it wasn't the first film? It just didn't seem very Christmassy to me. The music and snow scene was just an aesthetic device at the end and wasn't really anything to do with the plot IIRC.
