We might put the outside tree lights up if it stops raining but think indoors will have to be next weekend.

Dragonsandcats · 01/12/2024 08:13

We bought our real tree home yesterday. It is standing naked downstairs waiting for us to get up and decorate it. Always do the decs first weekend of December.

Patienceinshortsupply · 01/12/2024 08:15

Was planning to but am full of cold and been up coughing since 5am. So it'll be next weekend now. We got a new Balsam Hill one last year and I was so excited that it went up mid November and frankly I never wanted to see it again by Boxing Day Grin

Minihero · 01/12/2024 08:15

We did ours yesterday! It's looking gorgeous!

SauvignonBlanche · 01/12/2024 08:17

Too soon for me!
I don’t want it up for 5 weeks. 🎄
How does anyone get a real tree to last that long?

whojamaflip · 01/12/2024 08:18

Decs going up here today. I refuse to decorate before December so we will be heading out to get the tree later in this morning. The bottle of sherry will be cracked and an easy supper thrown in the slow cooker so I can concentrate on turning my house into a completely over the top dec fest! No tasteful decorating here - it's tinsel and foil garlands all the way 😆

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr · 01/12/2024 08:19

We are! We live in a freezing old house - bonus is the tree lasts longer than in a cosy warm house 😁

rugbychick1 · 01/12/2024 08:20

We brought the live Christmas tree into the house on Thursday. Lights went on it yesterday. DD, 12, has the responsibility of doing the rest

IVFmumoftwo · 01/12/2024 08:22

First Advent Sunday so yes it is going up. If it will survive my toddler is another matter...

hopeishere · 01/12/2024 08:23

Too soon for me. There's no doubt the they go up earlier and earlier every year. I like the build up! Ideally it would go up on the 21st. I'm hoping for the 14th with DH and DS as a compromise.

MrsSchnickelfritz · 01/12/2024 08:25

Yes! Got the tree yesterday and it's been standing in water. These days they seem to last really well. I remember being a kid and putting up a real tree in the middle of December and by the time it came down at the beginning of January it was showering needles.

RabbitsRock · 01/12/2024 08:25

Buying a real one this afternoon & DD15 will decorate it along with the artificial tree in her room.

Aposterhasnoname · 01/12/2024 08:26

Meeeeeee, can’t wait. DH is in the loft as we speak dragging it all out. We have loads so it’s going to take most of the day to do it, then it’ll be mince pies and wine in front of the fire with a Christmas film. Love, love, love Christmas.

Nourishinghandcream · 01/12/2024 08:29

Another two weeks before ours goes up.

MyBigFatGreekSalad · 01/12/2024 08:30

We collected it yesterday and putting it up this afternoon 🌲

FindingMeno · 01/12/2024 08:30

Everyone else is putting them up in my house.
I refuse to get involved.

LuckysDadsHat · 01/12/2024 08:37

Ours went up yesterday as we are out all day today. Looking very festive. Before we go out we need to get all the boxes back in the loft though.

DappledThings · 01/12/2024 08:38

DH is doing it next weekend when I'm away. Still way too early for my liking but he can can crack on.

mitogoshigg · 01/12/2024 08:40

Being bagged from afar by dd, she doesn't even live here but says I'm slacking in my duty to put decorations up. We might get the boxes out the loft this pm perhaps and dh has offered to put up the outside lights whilst I'm at evensong.

Bitchillywillytoday · 01/12/2024 08:41

Last tree going up today (real one) then for the first time all the lights will be on, and the fire!

Clearinguptheclutter · 01/12/2024 08:41

Well we went to get it from a local farm yesterday but today we’re going into the local city for a Christmas show and a mooch so will likely not be back in time to sort it properly

however I don’t work Mondays so I intend to sort it tomorrow if not

NeedthatFridayfeeling · 01/12/2024 08:44

Trees are up, as in assembled, decorating them this afternoon

OnTheBounce · 01/12/2024 08:44

We are. It's been a tough year for the whole family and the house is in need of cosy, comforting twinkly lights and that smell of pine.
