**Woohoo !! It's Christmas Day**

Nooooooooo. I love Christmas - but because it is special. Having your tree up now would make it seem mundane by Christmas.

I totally agree. We normally put ours up towards the end of the first week of December and that is literally because I can not wait any longer!

This year will be slighty different as we are going away in December so we will be putting it up mid November.

 

[Smiley.Socks]

I really wanted to go away for Christmas this year...
Sadly thats not gonna happen..

Mine and My (late) Dad's birthday is the 8th of December so we get that out of the way then we put our tree up the weekend after.
When I was a girl my Mum NEVER put the tree up until our birthday had been celebrated.

We usually put ours up the last weekend of November, which happens to fall on my Birthday weekend this year, not long now I cant wait I love Christmas

[MouseHouseUK]

Mine go up the first weekend in December. It takes me a whole weekend to decorate my room but the end result is worth it

I see our Next in town are hinting at decorations - they have got some illuminated white stars up in their windows

 

[PoppyAnna]

Does anybody put lots of outdoor decorations/lights up?
We fancy making some additions to the white lights that DH loves putting in the tree on the drive....

 

[The Fetherstons]

Yes we do, we have them on the house, it takes DH quite awhile to put them up

I can't wait to put my Christmas trees and decorations up during the last weekend in November. I won't be decorating outside, as I'll be taking most of my decorations down just before Christmas Day, as we'll be heading up to Manchester on Christmas Day evening

 

[mushumadness]

we arnt doing outside as we fly to florida on christmas eve

Now I need to find some decorations.
