to have put my christmas tree up already?

[Flojo1979]

Well it takes a lot of effort so why not put it up for longer?
The kids are happy, job done.
I wouldn't get another free afternoon with them for a couple of wks so it seemed a good idea at the time.
And it looks fab!

we're putting ours up on Saturday 1st dec and i usually take it all down by 28th dec. it takes forever to untangle lights etc etc so I dont like putting it all up for only 12 days. and DC loves all the twinkly lights and stuff.

I like Christmas and am very organised, but this is way too early! Your baubles will get all dusty!

YANBU it's your choice I think you're crazy

We have a real tree so have to wait until about 2 weeks before Christmas to make sure it lasts. We do however leave it up until the tree starts to look rough, usually mid to late January. My dh is n
ot from the UK so thinks the 12th night thing is a bit mad!

Yes. It's not even Advent.

Mine's up. Being American (ex pat), the traditional time to put up the tree is the weekend after Thanksgiving. We had three Thanksgivings over the past few days (!) and I put our tree up Monday!

Our tree will go up on Sunday I expect. I am toying with putting the ceiling decorations up early though as 11wo DS will enjoy looking at them!
Would a baby reindeer be drowned for that?

Normally we put ours up Dec 1st but ours has gone up today. I got so stressed out yesterday dealing with Fucking Currys over my crappy vacuum that I upset dd who is a sensitive soul and worries when mommy gets upset. To make it up to her we've done it today, and I've baked brownies.
Am just a bit miffed as Dh though cos I ALWAYS have a glass of sherry when doing the tree and I asked him to buy some today and he didn't it's not the same without it
