AIBU It's far too early for a Christmas tree!!!!

[Meadowflowers]

Just that, I drove past a house with a Christmas tree up. A beautiful Christmas tree, but way too early!!!!!! We've not even had Halloween yet!

I like Christmas but yeah that's too early. I did buy mine the other day but only because we don't have any Christmas decorations and I wanted to get one before they get more expensive.

A house with their tree up already. Ye Gods.

Went to my local carvery tonight and they’ve got the whole works up - I’m talking tree, lights, life size wicker reindeers

And I do love Christmas, but surely putting a tree up now just means you’re not actually building up to the excitement.

(Bet someone will come on and share a sad tale of some dying person who celebrated Xmas at a different time of year and make me feel guilty now)

YABNU - drives me mad when people want to skip Advent. It's the exciting part of Christmas!

The twelve days come after the 25th...

I won't have mine up before Dec 18th but seeing someone else's would give me a little twinge of joy, I'm afraid.

Oh god yes.
I love Xmas but I’d get Christmas fatigue if I dragged it out for months!!
We still have Halloween and bonfire night before then.

I've got my decorations up okay really I couldn't reach the one in the corner so it stayed up

What I'd like to know is why when you put the decorations up in the middle of December you come down every morning and have to stick them back up again as they've fallen down. Can't reach the one in the corner and it stays up for 10 months...

I love Christmas but it starts December 1st for me. October is very early.

A house in my village puts their tree, fully decorated, up in mid September every year.

We get a real tree and have underfloor heating which seems to kill them quick so we only have one up the week leading up to Christmas. My parents always put theirs up Christmas Eve - anything earlier than 1st December feels wrong!

Unless it’s a fake or a planted real one with roots we’re talking pot pourri by November 1st 😳

If you have to dust your Christmas tree before Christmas Day then it's up too early.

I love Christmas, really love it. But not before advent.

Christmas anything before December 1st is too soon (the exception being any planning requiring more time - guests travelling long distances etc).

@Witchend how did you get it up?

Christmas starts a week before Christmas Eve in BanksTowers

Is it not a Halloweem tree i heard rjis is a thing now ? But yeah xmas trees in october it was t shirt weather in my town a few days ago

@MrsTommyBanks
I got it up by standing on the desk that was right by it. Over December we had a good idea of rearranging the furniture and we sold the desk on. We've now got a rather flimsier desk there which I wouldn't dare to stand on, and I'm not tall enough to stretch round it from the chair.

I decided not to worry as blu-tac doesn't hold much up for long. Unfortunately it's proved me wrong. The dc think it's very funny though.

Date stamped pictures or it doesn't happen 😇

My neighbour puts his tree up stupidly early like end of october but takes it down after boxing day mine goes up late around the 20 ush of december and down the day after new years day ie the axtual xmas period .

Oh whatever people want to do is ok if it does not impact on you.

We are not allowed to criticise anything anymore anyway lol!

Last year’s, it was put up the same weekend this year.

I remember a few years back someone made a massive whinging fuss online about someone having a Christmas tree in their front garden at around this time of year. Turned out, in the light of day, it was a large triangular shaped bird feeder with a few solar light on it.

YANBU. My dd likes ours up at the very end of November for her birthday, people think I'm mad for doing it that early. But October is just batshit.
