When do you think it is acceptable to put up Christmas decorations and tree?

December, or first Sunday of Advent.

The weekend before the 25th December. This year I will make an exception and say 16th.

GoodTrouble · 10/11/2023 16:27

Do it!

BrokenCheese · 10/11/2023 16:29

Do you take it down on Boxing Day?

I feel it makes it less special being up so long.
I assume people who put it up early, then take it down really early, do so because they are sick of it by then.

Whenever you like! There's enough to be miserable about - if it gives you joy; do what makes you happy!

cava14una · 10/11/2023 16:31

Exactly when it suits you😸

There are no rules. It's your home, you can do what you like. You don't need permission.

EvilElsa · 10/11/2023 16:32

Do whatever you want -it's your home and it doesn't effect anyone else.
I think it's slightly bonkers but who cares?

ilovesooty · 10/11/2023 16:34

Please yourself. It's not anyone else's business.

SgtJuneAckland · 10/11/2023 16:34

DS' birthday is right at the end of November so I never put ours up before December, I begrudgingly take it all down on twelfth night. I love the fairy lights they make everything feel cosy

Jamontoast1 · 10/11/2023 16:35

When you gonna do it xx

Jamontoast1 · 10/11/2023 16:36

Bit jealous lol xx

hopeishere · 10/11/2023 16:37

When you want. Personally I hate seeing them up in November. I like the anticipation of seeing them later in December. I know I'm in the minority tho!

TheKeatingFive · 10/11/2023 16:37

Do what you want 🎄

ShowOfHands · 10/11/2023 16:37

Whenever you like. Take it down when you like as well.

TryAgainWithFeeling · 10/11/2023 16:39

Put it up whenever it makes you happy to do so! Ignore any grumpy gatekeeping, it’s none of their business.

Cranes2021 · 10/11/2023 16:42

At Christmas time....

Ibizabar · 10/11/2023 16:43

Whenever you like.

Not before 1st December before that is a a bit sad.

Mid December is ideal.

Atomickittyxx · 10/11/2023 16:51

If it makes you happy you go for it!!

Highlyflavouredgravy · 10/11/2023 16:52

December
Middle of at the earliest imo

Hillarious · 10/11/2023 16:52

You house, your decision. Not my house, but my opinion is it's tacky

SeptemberTime · 10/11/2023 16:54

YABU, it’s November
