To put up my Xmas decs today

[Governoress86]

Is anyone else putting theirs up today?

I will be putting mine up today! I have several friends who have had theirs up for a week, which is too early even for me (I absolutely love Christmas) but December is fair game

Making a start today. One tree (the fake one) will go up. I’ve hung a garland on the fireplace but am a bit hungover so might not be arsed to go into the loft until tomorrow.

I’ll make some rocky road and insist the teens sit with me to watch a film. Probably Elf. That’s the start of Christmas for me.

We are .

There's a big Christmas market on today, at the bottom of our road. So we are going to that, then back home for Christmas decorations. I wish the Sky Christmas scenes were up to I could put the log fire one on the TV.

I put mine up this morning. It is the only weekend we have free now before Christmas and can never be bothered after work

I usually do the first weekend in December but not well so going to wait till next weekend.

We would normally wait until next weekend but we are away and feel that the weekend after would be too late so we're putting it up today. It will be the earliest we have ever put a tree up.

Need to clean first so maybe some time next week
We always make an occasion of it
DD and her DP come over to help and I cook a special meal

All Christmas decorations are out of the cupboard,1 tree and most of the windows already dressed :) Christmas tunes playing - kids happy - will finish my tea then then will finish off before lunch - love December

Definitely! We are now officially allowed to play Christmas music and watch Christmas films..we have a lovely cosy, Chrismassy weekend ahead!

There are so many lovely decorations and smells this time of year..don't see anything wrong with using this month to embrace it.

YANBU, we’re doing ours today

We are. Just as soon as dh and dc come back with the tree. I'm so excited. Woke up to our elf back with everyone's advent calendars and stuck the Xmas music on. Love this time of year

We always have an overly Christmassy day on 1st December. Christmas music, Christmas films, Christmas jumpers, tipple of Baileys. If it's a weekday we take the day off and go to a Christmas Market. It's tradition and we love it.

Haters gonna hate.

yep one of ours is up next one goes up this week at some point.

@CarolDanvers The Sky Christmas scenes are there, had the log fire one on yesterday

I usually put mine up on the night of the 12th as it's DDs birthday the next day

What's the earliest a real tree can go up?

I'm putting mine up today, and I am normally the biggest grinch around! I've been a bit down in the dumps recently and I just want a bit of sparkle to cheer me up.

We put a some up last weekend (As we won't be all together until late dec) and 3yo dragged MIL in the house to see, She just muttered that it was too early...to a happy faced 3yo. Early decs are better than a bah humbug attitude.

Was planning to do it today but today has gone a bit haywire and not looking forward to trying it with a toddler in the midst of tantrumming so may do it tomorrow. So tempted with today though, will need to send DH out to get the tree from the garage after I've eaten a hangover McDonald's

I'm cleaning the windows and bleaching the wooden frames (fucking hate this job!!) in anticipation of putting the decorations up.

I threw them up last year with my head practically down the toilet pregnant last year. I love Christmas, I am doing it today and I don't care!!!

Get them out! I'm getting up my tree today - at £70 or so, it's important to get your moneys worth out of it!

I'm obsessed with the sky Christmas scenes, I think of them fondly at intervals throughout the year. It's become one of my serious Christmas traditions.

I put mine up in my uni house 1st November and we had flatmas yesterday with full christmas dinner courtesy of me. My home decorations won't actually go up till after the 15th because thats when I'm going home and mum wont put them up without me.

I spend a bomb on decs this year, so mines up, it's a waste for only 2 weeks as some people do

I would normally put them up in the house first weekend in December, but this year it's snuck up on me and I'm not prepared - and being the 1st today, a bit early since DH will not tolerate taking them down before 12th night!

Outside our entire road used to do a 1st of December outdoor switch on, but the weather has been so bad this week, no one has managed to get up a ladder.

I am getting excited though, I've ordered a new Ballsam Hill Tree which should arrive mid week.

Mine are going up next week cos we always have a real tree and I want it to last. But YANBU, it’s December so it’s fair game!
