I just made a miserable AIBU so here's a less heavy one:

I really want to put uo the tree because it's pretty :,) is it too early?
(It's fake, 7foot and has fake now and berries 0<0)

Absolutely not too early. Do it and cheer yourself up. I need to buy one soon. I might tomorrow. I’m depressed so anything might help

ButterfliesandMoths · 18/11/2023 21:18

I put mine up last weekend so no it's not too early. If it makes you happy then do it.

BethDuttonsTwin · 18/11/2023 21:18

Mine went up Monday just gone 🎄😊

Ihaterhymingrabbit · 18/11/2023 21:19

Do it, we’re doing ours soon, I always think it’s a lot of effort to put up for a small amount of time so do it early if you want to 😊

Dugs2010 · 18/11/2023 21:19

I put mine up earlier today and now sitting down enjoying the glow!!!

ScarletWitchM · 18/11/2023 21:20

Do it! I’ve been watching (terrible) Christmas films for the past 2 weeks and am desperate to get the tree out but DH birthday is start of December, and as a kid he always had
to share birthday with Christmas so I always wait until after his birthday on Dec 2nd to decorate. If not for that I’d have mine up now as well!!

i love the run up to Christmas more than the day itself and I take my decorations down on new year eve so want to make the most of the pre Christmas experience

Brbreeze · 18/11/2023 21:21

We put ours up today!

kitsuneghost · 18/11/2023 21:23

My aunt used to say. Does it make you feel fabulous?
Yes-buy. No- don't

Sorry. Wrong thread

Floralnomad · 18/11/2023 21:26

Do it , lots of people are putting them up now .

SerenaBeans · 18/11/2023 21:26

@Sunday12 I'm sorry you feel down- me too honestly. End of year drag, really.

Let's put our trees up and try to be merry

@ScarletWitchM
My birthday is on the 5th Dec! But i don't do much for it anymore so I don't count it. (Also being preg - no alcohol)

I'm going to convince my DH to help me put it up hehe

I feel like this still fits the vibe of the thread though!

We're debating whether to put ours up tomorrow or next Saturday 😂

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 18/11/2023 21:39

It's one month and 6 days early by my reckoning.
But I'm a grumpy old sod, so I wouldn't take my word as gospel 😄.

BriocheForBreakfast · 18/11/2023 21:41

I put mine up today. Going away on Monday for a few weeks and wanted it done for when I get back. Do whatever makes you happy.

LadyMacB · 18/11/2023 21:42

Let’s be clear, it is too early. However, it’s a free country, so you’re not unreasonable.

People died to defend your right to put up a sparkly tree in your living room in November.

Wasjumpking · 18/11/2023 21:43

Are you my daughter?

Emeraldrings · 18/11/2023 21:46

Too early for me but if it makes you happy then why not?

TammyJones · 18/11/2023 21:50

No
Just no.
Put mine up around 15th Dec
Down around 2nd Jan

Christmas is great but too early and I'm bored of it before the actual day.

onlyconnect · 18/11/2023 21:50

It's November for goodness sake! Of course it's too early.
How will you feel about it by Christmas if you put it up now?

EC22 · 18/11/2023 21:52

It’s way too early.
WTF

kitsuneghost · 18/11/2023 21:23

Sorry. Wrong thread

But the principle is the same. Does putting up her tree now make @SerenaBeans feel fabulous? Serene like a bean? If so, why not? 😁😀

VikingLady · 18/11/2023 21:53

Ours is still up from last year. The kids begged, and it's cheerful.

How will you feel about it by Christmas if you put it up now?

It will still be fabulous until the 12th night!

I was going to wait but see a lot have gone up in the last week so I shall be doing it tomorrow. Can't wait.

Iloveanicegarden · 18/11/2023 21:56

Ours has been up and decorated for 2 weeks now. It is a marathon though as DH believes it's not complete unless there's at least 3 decorations on each and every branch (stems from childhood when his parents couldn't afford much) We haven't switched it on yet though!
