Nope, do it if you want too

I nearly put mine up last weekend, was watching the trick or treaters from in the garden, wearing my halloween dress while seeing fireworks and eating a mince pie, I did think to myself 'shall I put the tree up' then I forgot

Well that is amazing. I love that you mixed Christmas and Halloween mince pie in your dress. I'm a fan.

I'm doing it. Having a tidy then they are going up. X

Quite a few people I know have had theirs up since 1st.

If it brings a bit of cheer do it!

I won't simply because of the dust they collect. I'm too lazy to dust them

If people get a lot of enjoyment from putting them up now and having them up for a while then go for it and have a blast.

This year has been a cow of a year for everyone and so if people want to embrace crimbo early then go ahead and do it peeps.

Yes way to early in my opinion, but I'm a grumpy old fart lol

And Christmas songs shouldn't be played until 24th December.

My limited decorations used to go up the day before my partner came round and down as she was driving away

This year no decorations, there fine in the cupboard

I’m sure lots of people will tell you it’s too early, but who cares? It’s been a crappy year, if putting them up now makes you happy, go for it!

I know! What a juxtaposition! I am random but it was pretty random even for me but I loved it

I do have a dress with Santas all over it and various Christmas jumpers, it might be time for them to come out

Yay! Do it! Get some Christmassy music going and have fun!

Way too early! There shouldn't be anything Christmas related before 1st December anywhere, otherwise the thing drags on for about 3 months! It becomes Utterly boring!

Ours go up the weekend before the 25th and come down the weekend after.

I haven’t put any up for the last god knows how many years.

This year won’t be any different.

I’ve probably enjoyed this year more than I’ve enjoyed any year for ages.

I may give it a miss again this year, last couple of years have been a bit crappy MH wise and I've found it difficult. But i do like to see others making a go of Christmas, the world is better when there is some cheer in the air.

So yes, go for it. Decorations can go up any time after 21st June (and should come down again by 20th June).

I don't put up my Christmas decorations until the 1st weekend in December, & that will be the same this year as any in the past.

Something not right about the people who put them up in November.

Guaranteed to be the same people who take them down on Boxing Day and tell everyone on Facebook that they're glad it's all over.

Yes, it's way too early, but given the crap year so far I can't blame anyone putting them up early this year, the shops are full of Christmas stuff anyway, might as well enjoy it.

It’s a tradition here to put them up on the night of the 4th, so they’re up when my daughter gets up on her birthday. My youngest has asked so she’s going to sort her room out to get rid of the toys she doesn’t use and then she’s putting them in her own room.

My oldest is severely autistic so don’t want to confuse her and cause issues by putting them up earlier than she’s used to, as she’ll be expecting birthday presents if we do, haha x Viv x

Usually I wait til Nov 2 as we have no more birthdays then, this year they've been slowly creeping up since the start of October because why the hell not, this year hasn't been a traditional one by a long shot

On considering putting mine up in the middle of the month. I don't normally do it this early but I need to clean out the big cupboard where the Christmas decorations are so are probably put it all up then.

Don't you know, along with everything else Christmas is cancelled this year so I wouldn't bother.

Yes. I love Christmas but it kind of takes the specialness away if they're up in November.

1st December fair game though.

Christmas is not cancelled!

Christmas will be very different this year and not easy for many, It is however what you make of it a magic can be found everywhere if you just look.

Mine will be going up before December and stay up till just before NYE.
