When do you put yours up?

I’ve always been a traditional 12 days before, but my kids demand earlier as in now. Managed to negotiate the first week of December as a compromise

Usually first weekend in December. But since my son's at his dad's over Christmas, it might not go up.

Baa humbug

I usually refuse to put it up any sooner than 12 days before, usually try for a week before. I think it will go up early this year though.

"Anytime before the 1st December is just wrong "

I agree. Told my colleague last week that a plonker in my street had his full garden decorated and tree up. She replied "me too".

To be fair its been one hell of a year for everyone and if by putting a tree & decorations up a little early will cheer them up then why not !

Its doing no one any harm in doing so

I’m going early this year too. Sod it. Sanity and good cheer is more important.

Additional lights outside this week (always have fairy lights going). Indoors next week.

Thing I’m thinking about all these folk like yeah put the decorations up early it’s been a crap year we’re furloughed we’ve lost jobs and we need something to cheer us up ! Electricity companies are going to love you and a few miserable faces when the Leccy bill arrives in the new year

Up 12 days before and down before I go back to work. Nothing quite as depressing as coming home in January to a Christmas tree.

Haven't put a full tree up in at least 6 years. Have a small illuminated stained glass tree that I put in the window.

Last 2 years, headed to sunnier climes.

Alas, not to be this year.

If people judge you for putting a Xmas tree up early that differs from them..who cares.

It's you're Xmas.

The weekend after Thanksgiving. Which, coincidentally, is this weekend.

I’m not big into Americanisms but I stick to my instance that the C word nor any of its fancy trappings come out before Thanksgiving is done and gone. Helps pushback on the relentless push to make the Christmas season six months long.

I was devastated today as my son said he doesn't care if I put a tree up or not

and he never wrote a list for Santa

mind you he's 15 and I still make him leave out cookies and a carrot for Rudolph. I think he's over it haha! Tree will go up on the 15th December
