Is it too early? (Christmas Tree)

[Karev]

When do you put yours up?

Now the nights are drawing in I'm fancying putting a tree up to make the living room cosy with the lights and decorations.

It's too early, isn't it?!

It's my first Christmas in a new house, I didn't have room for a tree before so I'm somewhat over excited...

I’m in a cafe that already has its Christmas tree up.

Life is short. If it makes you excited and happy then put the tree up.

Fairy lights are a lovely compromise, or even fairy lights wrapped round big twigs / small branches in a vase or a mini artificial birch tree thing

Way too early. Do a 'winter's coming' twinkly decor.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Too early! Wait till December

Yes it’s far too early

This has been me since last week. I don't care. Get those twinkly lights out this instant gf! 😀

No it's not. You only get 25days in December. I'm going to put up little decorations in the next couple weeks and a mini tree. I only have a small flat

Do whatever you want! I think it's fun having decorations and lights everywhere when it's so dark and cold outside. 🌟

Put it up when you like. If it makes you happy I see no reason not to. I have a little string of fairy lights that are permanently on my fireplace!

That's beautiful!

Life is short - if it brings you joy, get it up now! I would have it up on 1 November if it were me! X

I just love seeing Christmas lights! The walk home from school everyday involves spotting new ones!

Surely a December calendar would be 1st-31st?

I have fairy lights in the fire place and in glass jars - I changed all the batteries last weekend - they make everything feel cosy and warm.

Tree doesn't go up until around the 10th as I get a real one - it would be a twig by New Year if I out it up now

Put up some fairy lights or get some nice candles. But I think wait till December for Christmas tree.

I have fairly lights up quite a lot of the year. Depending on how I feel!

Christmas tree for me is the last couple of weeks before Christmas but that’s because I buy a real one.

True. I amend that to say all "Advent" calendars are not actually Advent calendars but are merely partial December calendars.

Even in the years where 1 December is the first day of Advent they all include the 25th so still wrong!

Your home, your tree. Do what you want. Ours go up at the end of November, but the last one to go up is the kitchen tree, it’s the only one seen from outside so as not to annoy whining fun sucks.

There'll be plenty of threads like this over the coming weeks, and arguments about how the common, lower class, are the ones who can't wait for later in December to put their trees and decorations up.

Far, far too early imo.

We are keeping our Halloween tree up until it becomes our Christmas tree. I suggested we male it an autumnal tree but DD12 loves our first t Halloween tree.

I wait till the first weekend in DECEMBER , then I keep them up till twelfth night, so they are really up for five weeks , I think that is long enough. If you put them up to early I think you get sick of the sight of them. I will spend a lot of November deep cleaning the house so when they go up the first weekend In December the house looks it’s best. I love December as the house is usually very clean because of my hard work In November, my work is very quiet and I do lots of social stuff .

Put it up now. It's uplifting and celebratory. Enjoy your new house and your pretty lights. It's not like the MN inspectors are going to call at your house.

We put our tree up around the 15th December. We have a real tree and like it to be in good condition still on Christmas Day. It's also DS' Birthday early December so we like him to have a week with his Birthday cards/banners up before Christmas decs.
