I started putting the decs up today!!!

I have just hoovered & dusted the lounge and have now put a couple of ornaments out as I am sorting through it all. Hubby just helped me put our tree up and put the lights on it!

So far so good with Bailey she has been sniffing it but soon got bored! Stamford just laid on his bed watching.

I am not going to put my baubles on it for a day or two though as I want to make sure they are going to leave it alone. Will post some pics as and when I finish.

have yet to decide where to put our tree this yr as i might have a pram in its place but i could always decorate the pram i suppose get him hooked before we go over next yr lol
cant wait to see everyones pics of their trees and decorations .

Goodnight !!

What is a pram?, please TIA

I was wondering why Christmas trees are put up so early, in the U.K.? Is it tradition from a societal stand point, or merely a personal choice? I am wondering, because in the U.S. the average person puts their tree up in December, while others will put it up during the latter part of November. Some people will wait until Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day, to do so. I cannot stand the thought of waiting that long!

As much as I love Christmas, I especially love Halloween! ( No one hurt me please! he he! Seriously! )

In the UK the majority of people put their tree up in December (usually in the first or second week) - however on this thread we are all crazy about christmas and can not wait that long!!!

Personally I never have my tree up this early but I will be in Orlando for 17 nights in December and therefore decided to put mine up so that I haven't got a mad rush in a few weeks time when I have to pack and do all the last minute christmas things before I go. Also it has got me in the christmas mood, ready for all the christmas decorations in WDW.

I haven't done any wrapping yet either Nat - the spare room is just full of boxes & carrier bags of stuff. I need to have a good sort through it all this week.
