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

Is it ever appropriate for a* Christmas tree to go up in November?

No. My Christmas tree goes up after my birthday in early December., never before.

And then stay up to the planned decommission date of end of January?

Christmas trees come down on the 6th or 7th January.

In semi-related news, should I get a new job away from people who, uh, plan differently?

The Golden Rule applies.
 
Main tree goes up last weekend before Chrimbo so we can spend evening decorating and drinking. Tree comes down 12th night. Christmas is all foreplay these days actual Christmas has been devalued to junk status and is over once everyone gets on their tablet after lunch.
 
Wifey put ours up yesterday and the entire house is covered in tinsel and lights and banners in every room. Candles, ornaments, even the kids books become all Christmas themed. She does it early for the kids, they love it but not as much as her... somebody kill me.


Although I think my vice is worse... I've already munched through 1 and a half advent calendars:p

Every year since we first met we've bought each other a bauble, this one is my favourite:

But I bet she leaves it to you to take it all down and pack the stuff away afterwards :p
 
Xmas tree has already gone up the local library and the xmas decorations are already up in the high street for several weeks, at least those aren't switched on yet. Xmas adverts on telly started after bonfire night! :mad:

Similar here. Missus' birthday is the 3rd, so I have an agreement with my daughter that we put the tree* up the following weekend.

Mine's on the 2nd so same here like to keep things separate.

*Yeah, we have two also. Putting them up isn't so bad, but taking them both down again is a ballache.

Mrs is Christmas nuts however since our daughter was born she reluctantly agreed no Christmas before 3rd December, after her birthday.

Although if it were upto the Mrs they'd be up in Sept and down in March

Wife says to me this morning: next year let's wait another week or so, it doesn't feel right. Hahaha oh dear :)
 
Christmas tree up - early December.

Two weeks before Christmas - other decorations. Christmas pop songs allowed from this point.

3 days before Christmas - Christmas carols allowed.

Christ eve - all music swapped for nice hymns.

Christmas Day - back to pop tat.
