We usually start putting up the decorations and tree from the 1st December but yesterday I got a few bits down from the attic after nipping up there for something else I needed. I'm not getting a tree until the end of next week but I thought I'd put the Xmas throws on the sofa, tinsel wrapped round things, a few Xmas light up snowmen ornament things and a set of lights around the window in the living room Just to make things cosy and festive. It's was on a whim and I just thought sod it and the kids thought it was exciting and fun. I suffer from pnd and had one of those really really exhausting times this week trying to wallow on through with school runs and housework while feeling like I just want to hide under the duvet until the feeling goes away. DH is so lovely and supportive and knows I've had a rough week . He really is wonderful with how he understands what I'm going through and how I struggle sometimes. He knows my favourite thing to do when I'm feeling really down is to just cuddle up on the sofa with a coffee and a book or a glass of wine. I was looking forward to doing this once I had got the kids to bed and looking forward to this on a night helps me keep motivated to tidy up and do housework throughout the day iyswim . Anyway he came in from work as I was putting the kids to bed and me and dd started giggling saying "wait for it when daddy sees the Xmas lights do you think he will be surprised!?" ... so we were giggling as he came up stairs expecting him to laugh at us and say how nice and cosy the room looked as he loves Xmas and always says he looks forward to me trimming up. Instead he walks in and says " what's the hells going on? Why is all Xmas stuff up downstairs it's November!!" ... so I explained it's only a week off before December and he went mad saying he's fed up of seeing everyone's trees and trimmings up everywhere it's ridiculous and looks tacky. DD got quite upset at the thought we would have to take them down. When I went downstairs he had also taken down some tinsel that I had hung over some shelves in the kitchen and just dumped it on the side. Then he went in the room and turned the lights off in the window just going on about how he can't believe what I've done. It was just so out of character for him I was really shocked and hurt at the things he was saying like it was a massive deal and like I'd ruined Xmas. I don't know I just expected him to come in and laugh and call me daft "but as long as it helps you and cheers you up a bit" is what he would usually say. It just seemed as though I'd done something so so wrong his reaction was just so excessive and out of character. There really is worse things in the world going on right now other than putting up a few lights a week before usual. Aibu?
