So when does everyone put their Xmas decs up?

Asking for a friend 🎄

The lights that people are seeing up already are likely to be for Diwali, as a pp mentioned. It's lovely to see them!

Normally around mid December as I’m usually too busy with work to get a tree before then. This year DD has requested early decorations, so I might go for around the 1st or even the weekend before. Wi try to get a tree a bit earlier this year, I think!

My Norway spruce will be delivered on 1st December, and that'll need a good couple of days to settle in the garden so probably the first weekend in December. 🎄

Second Weekend in December and down about the 27th when the tree droops

Oh and we take down on Twelfth night.

1st weekend in December.... they come down 30th December at the latest....I like a nice clean clear house for new year

End of November usually the night before the toy show.

I can guess where you live. My sisters in Ireland usually do that too.

The ones I saw had a flashing snowman, santa boots by the upstairs window and a HUGE 'Merry Christmas!' Banner above the front door....

About a week before Christmas. Just looked at the calendar - will be 18th Dec this year. They come down on 12th night. I like my Christmas traditional unlike the poster immediately before me.

Definitely not Diwali like you say, there is Santa and a snow man hanging on their front door as well as all the lights 🤦🏻

Fast moving thread! I was referring to kitkat's post.

Small real tree with lights goes outside the front door on 1st Dec.

Indoor tree will be 6th Dec this year, earlier than usual because family coming to stay on the 7th.

Other decs., wreath on door, same time.

Christmas cards are blutacked to painted surfaces as they arrive.

Nothing comes down until 6th Jan - January is dreary enough anyway - though might be 5th this time since youngest Gdc’s birthday is the 6th.

Usually last week in November but I'm already fed up of the dark evenings, I'm thinking 20th Nov 🎄

3rd week of November usually. Love it!

I put them up in October! Wanted a jolly atmosphere for my mother's birthday. It's cheered up no end!

Traditionally, the Saturday before Christmas, though I usually relent under pressure a few days earlier.
"December" and "Christmas" are not synonymous.

Never before the 1st December.

Use to be just 12 days before Xmas but in the past few years anything in December is fair game.

It also comes down in December too.

@rslsys

After lunch on Christmas Eve and down again after breakfast on Boxing Day. Bah Humbug 🎅🏻

Please don't tell me you store it in the loft and all that ....for well that

Second weekend in December. I want the tree to last, and to still appreciate the novelty come Christmas Day.

2nd weekend in December.

DDs birthday is on the 12th so we put ours up on the 13th

Anytime during the first week of December.

12th night is in January @TheLovleyChebbyMcGee

1st dec or soon after. And down on 6th Jan or just before

Around 20th December. Any sooner and they lose their special sparkle by Christmas Eve.
