Too early for Xmas Decorations isn't it?

smr · 22 Nov 2009 at 17:39

I ask because my girlfriend's grandma, auntie and cousins have already got their decorations up. Madness isn't it? I got brought up with the notion of putting them up about 2 weeks before!

There's a place that sprung up in a car park over the road last week selling Christmas Tree's...

Local pub has decorations all over the place too. They're quite tasteful however.

A week before and a week after christmas. No more, loses all festivity otherwise.

I saw someone with them up (all lights outside and that) in early october, I felt like going and ****ing all over them then dropping a turd on their doorstep for good measure.

It is still too early.

Though not quite as bad as the decorations in the shopping centres - some have been up since october!

This

My sister wanted to put them up in her house, her boyfriend & I have said if they are put up before the 12th December we're going to throw them out the window & burn them!

Across the road from her there has been a house that has had them up since the beginning of November :/

Why do people put them up so early, no way you can enjoy them or feel festive at all if they've been up for more than a couple of weeks.
So by the time you get to christmas you've ruined it.

Dark_Angel · 22 Nov 2009 at 17:57

In my opinion it's too early right now!

Thunderbolt · 22 Nov 2009 at 18:05

I thought they were s'posed to go up twelve days before Christmas.

Also I vote that Christmas should happen every other year.

My parents would usually go with the 12 days before and after although it wasn't a rigid rule which seems like more than long enough with Christmas decorations to me.
