Start of December.

It's a lot of effort to put them all out and back again, so they stay up until just after the 31st, as it makes the entry into another grim year a little more cheery.

Usually the weekend before Christmas but because we're going away on 16th, they'll probably go up the weekend before that.

I don't have many, just a small tree and some ornaments.

I already have the new one out I bought from the Range a couple of weeks ago.

The rest will go out a couple of weeks before Christmas.

Mine have 'gone up' in the loft, years ago.

They will probably stay there until my executor*/the social services*/the bailiffs* deal with the junk up there.

*Which of these depends very much on which way my life goes in these increasingly uncertain times.

I can't wait to get mine up this year! I'm doing some actual decorating first though, so I've decided the Xmas tree and decs will go up the last weekend in November.

Christmas should be ‘kicked into December’ …. but December IS the month of Christmas …. so once into December, let the fun begin!! … if you’re going to put them up, you want to make the most of them.

Mine will go up as soon as I can in December… a boozy afternoon that includes bottle of Croft Original … and Gluwein !!

They come down usually on the 2/3 Jan.

Each year I test the water with my kids to see if I can get away with not having to put up a crimbo tree. I think we have just a couple of years left and then I will happily not bother.

They usually go up first week of December and are down by 28th December.
