We always dress our christmas tree on christmas eve, just a family tradition.

Not so much fun since one of my lads brought his own place and left home and the other son will be away for the third christmas in a row!

Time flies fast enough as it is,why bring things forward?

Christmas decorations shouldn't be seen until well into December,we usually go for the 12 days.

It doesn't seem special anymore when its all done so early.

People seem so impatient these days!

I decorate the lounge and have tree and put little trees in the kids' rooms...I have the kids christimas eve and then the ex comes over christmas morning and we do pressies with them then he has them for christmas dinner.

I think it would be different if I were back home as I find Christmas difficult here away from all my family.and it just doesn't seem like christmas with no snow...lol

They go up 12 days before, come down 12 days after in my house.

In my parents house however, they go up christmas eve and stay up till around the start of February. Great procrastinators, my old folks....

2nd weekend in December for us. We never have the whole lot done in one or two days but most of it is up by then and then gradually do the rest over the next week.

We'll probably be doing the tree three or four times this year as it's littleun's first real Christmas (he was only 8mos old last year) and he's very actively mobile now!

I have an old house with high ceilings and i love how it looks with a huuuge tree...my decs are all traditional, wooden soldiers and some that have come from german markets etc, none of this 'matching' stuff.

what i really really hate....is taking it all back down again. that's just tedious

my tree is 98% handmade decorations with strings of popcorn instead of garlands. I tried to carry on a tradition I did back home but people thought I was mad.I had a tree decorating party.Your entrance to the party is a handmade decoration that you make yourself.great fun...christmas carols playing...eggnog and munchies lots of laughing...I miss it
