Me! Probably next weekend.
I don't feel enthusiastic about, I usually love Christmas but it feels like chore this year.

No not until the 12th December ! I have decorated the rest of the house though.

Redwinestillfine · 06/12/2020 12:40

Ours isn't up and won't be for another 2 weeks!

Redcrayons · 06/12/2020 12:40

Me
The house is upside down with home working and schooling and I’ve nowhere to put anything. Having a huge clearout this week, so hopefully up by next week.

Mintjulia · 06/12/2020 12:44

Us. DS finishes school next Friday and we'll start Christmas then Smile

happysunr1se · 06/12/2020 12:51

We've got a tiny 1ft one up on the sideboard and some garlands up, the 6year old is happy with this.

I won't put the big one up until next weekend at earliest because my house is small and I like empty clean space for longer.

Nonamesavail · 06/12/2020 12:51

Doing ours now x

Sonofapizzaman · 06/12/2020 12:52

Next week for us as we are mid-decorating (paint etc not Christmas decs)

transformandriseup · 06/12/2020 12:53

Me, we are putting up few decs each day and leaving the tree until last. DD is only 1 and we thought she would get bored too quickly.

vinoandbrie · 06/12/2020 12:55

Next weekend for us. The tree will be in a room with a log burner and I don’t want it to be looking bare by Christmas Day!

badlydrawnbear · 06/12/2020 13:15

We are doing it later today. DC1 tells me she is the only person in her whole class who doesn't have their tree up already!

Christmastime4 · 06/12/2020 13:24

I didn’t know some schools finish next week

No, we never have ours up before the 10th

BiddyPop · 06/12/2020 13:29

Me.

We bought a real tree yesterday and brought home the decorations from storage, but I have a lot to do so may not get it up today.

Although, as her hockey training this afternoon has been cancelled due to frozen pitches, she might help get things done.

We did put lights on the outside tree earlier this week.

DeadButDelicious · 06/12/2020 13:40

Me! But doing it later on today.

hopeishere · 06/12/2020 13:41

Next weekend for us. I really look for to it going up but November is way too early and I like to get one December weekend over first.

happymummy12345 · 06/12/2020 13:54

I'm superstitious so it never goes up until the first weekend of December, so it was done yesterday. Comes down 6th January.

megletthesecond · 06/12/2020 13:57

Not us.
We have two dinky living trees in pots. I'm being nice and letting the dc's do them early next weekend. I usually leave it until they break up.
For some reason I can't stand Xmas being dragged out.

Itsacakebaby · 06/12/2020 13:59

🎄Me. Intend to put ours up by 14th Dec 🎄

CountFosco · 06/12/2020 14:06

Me. 3DC complaining loudly about the lack of a tree. We always put it up the weekend before Christmas but we're breaking with tradition this year and going to the Christmas Tree farm next week. We've got a fancy advent calendar and paper snowflakes up already, paperchains next week. I like decorating bit by bit.

BogRollBOGOF · 06/12/2020 14:16

The DCs are assembling it Grin

Sheena99 · 06/12/2020 14:16

I haven't. Neighbours put theirs up the day after Halloween. Think it takes away from the season, would prefer if it were only for the week or two beforehand, think it would make it feel more special. Of course the kids think I'm the grinch but they're used to me now!

weebarra · 06/12/2020 14:18

Next weekend!
We've got our garland and outside lights out but haven't got our tree yet. Pretty much all our neighbours have.
