I'm going to put my trees up today!

[curiousgeorgie]

My DD (3) has had a terrible bug, a horrible time having to leave nursery, and now has been struck down with a miserable cold!

Asking her what she wants and the answer is 'Christmas'.

Is this madness?

[Pancakeflipper]

Yes. Bah humbug.

Personally I love Christmas but its my idea of hell to decorate in November.

[Chopchopbusybusy]

It's mid November!

[BearsBeetsBattlestarGalactica]

Totally cray cray

[cazza2878]

I'm sorry but I think mid November is total madness, at least wait till 1sr December.

[Pancakeflipper]

Make some decorations or Christmas cards?

[ThreeMyselfAndI]

I've seen a few crazy people with their decorations up. Go for it she's had a crap time lately if it will cheer her up why not.

[starsandunicorns]

Aww enjoy hope little gets week soon

[Aquariusgirl86]

Far too early for my liking but if you can make her happy why not

[Mintyy]

Yes it is madness. You can call me an old grump, but why not try and keep Christmas really exciting and special by restricting it to a couple of weeks of the year?

However, if you have already told her that you are going to put the decorations up then you can't disappoint her by changing your mind.

Oh dear.

[HiccupHaddockHorrendous]

I adore Christmas but I draw the line at tree/decorations in December!

I'd second making decorations or cards. Or Christmas DVD and hot chocolate with marshmallows

[Funkybutnot]

Awe go for it! She deserves it.

[fuzzpig]

Ah bless her. I wouldn't put the tree up this early - it will be very hard for her to understand why it will still be more than a month (eternity to a young child!) til the big day, and may lead to more upset.

Love the idea of making cards or decorations, then when done you can put them away and it'll be exciting all over again when you get them back out to decorate!

[NannyPlumForPM]

Iv already started decorations but it takes me a month to put them up!

[LumpySpacePrincessOhMyGlob]

God no way. I love chrismas and my tree goes up on the 1 st of December but they have no place in November.

[dietstartsmonday]

decorate her bedroom maybe? then you don't have to look at it for the rest of november

[Pollywallywinkles]

Absolute madness. You will be fed up of it all before Christmas. 1 December is early enough (far to early for me though).

[YoureBeingASillyBilly]

Why do people do this? Surely they sicken themselves of everything christmassy by the time xmas comes?

[OneStepCloser]

No, it's silly, Christmas is for Christmas surely? Poor thing will be totally wound up for nothing apart from a long wait.

[caketinrosie]

Do it! I love christmas! I would put my decs up in July if I wasn't concerned about being sectioned! But a good compromise is just decorating DDs room. That's a thought....I wonder if DH would mind if I....

[usualsuspect]

Go for it.

Anything that cheers your DD up is a good thing.

[sooperdooper]

Far too early, make some decorations or cards instead

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Of course it's madness - it's insane and I would Judge You Horribly tbh. Make some Christmas cards instead, or make her some warm Ribena and tell her it's what Santa drinks.

I hope she feels better soon but please don't put the tree up, you loon!

[usualsuspect]

Would you care if people judged you for putting Xmas decorations up in your own house?

Especially internet random.

OP, it's your house to do as you please with.

[TheOneWithTheHair]

Do it if it makes her happy.

NannyPlum how on earth does it take a month to put up your decorations. I can redecorate my house in that time.

[PearlArgyle]

It's mid November!
