Anyone else not put their tree up yet?

[Pumpkinpastie]

Seems most people have done theirs already, we are planning to do it this Sunday.

We have a bunch of December birthdays so it won't be going up till about the 15th. None of our neighbours have got theirs up and none of my family.

Probably do mine in a couple of weeks time. Need to clear a space for it first too! I don't like to put mine up too early else it doesn't feel very special to me when it's actually Christmas.
I had of course started on my advent calendar this morning though.

Our house is different every year, depends what suits us. We put it up on 27th November this year because I was going in to hospital to be induced and wanted to have it done before we brought the new baby home.

Last year we didn't bother with a tree at all because our toddler was learning to walk and pulling up on everything so it would've been a disaster. Next year might be the same with this new baby.

Same here @muddyford can never think about Christmas until those birthdays have been celebrated. There seems to be a lot less outdoor Christmas decorations around us this year, except for one fully decorated whole house that has been 'done' for two weeks now but they haven't yet switched the lights on - expect that will happen tonight.

I don't know anyone who has put theirs up yet! FIL is puritanical, so theirs goes up Christmas Eve. Our local church doesn't take theirs down until Candlemas, which I think is 40 days after Christmas.

Nope. Mine goes up on the last day of term, I put it up with the lights on while kids are in school and we decorate it when they get home.

Nope - not up yet. Was pondering whether to this weekend but may wait until next weekend. 1st December is too early in my house. The decorations all come down well before NYE though as once Christmas Day is done they get boring very quickly

Good heavens, no of course I haven't - it's only 1st Dec today.

I won't do mine until after a family birthday this month. But even allowing for that, it means the decorations will be up for nearly a month (no cutting short the Twelve Days of Christmas for us!!)

No, because I'm not a modernist. Xmas is 12 days starting at Xmas. Not 30 days starting on 1 Dec

Yes will be going up today as it’s now December!! Will say up till 5th or 6th January, to decorate my house take a whole day quite a bit of effort so I like them up for the whole five week.

I usually do mine Christmas eve, it gets very stale if the so called festive season goes on too long.
l like the festive feeling when all have finished work and Christmas is almost here then two weeks of Christmassy stuff then back to normal...
I don't do any Christmas shopping until the last fortnight either..but that can be a bit more challenging!

Me!

Our tradition is to get ours up the weekend of the Strictly final. Then we kick off Christmas by watching that with champagne. It’s when I feel it truly begins.

I have a strict rule that Christmas decorations don’t go up until December. So this weekend.

November is just madness 😂😂

God no!! It's far far too early! We used to put ours up on Christmas Eve when I was younger. We do end of term which is 15th december this year.

Too soon for me

We do ours in the first weekend of December. I absolutely love it! 🎄

Seems most people have done theirs already,

Not round here they haven't. Ours won't be going up until next weekend - 9th/10th - at the earliest.

Ours usually goes up a couple of weeks before Christmas as we have a real one. But if we have a tree this year it will be fake, so will go up any time from today. I will need to discuss with DH!

I still think it's really early but will do ours this weekend simply because the kids want to.
When I was young trees went up around 15th December.

Mine will go up this weekend as my DD is home from Uni and wants to do the decorating. I want it up this week as we have visitors every weekend till Christmas Day so suits me. I have the (much harder) job of ̶b̶u̶l̶l̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ nagging DH into bringing down the stuff from the loft!

Before anyone comments on not getting them down myself am physically unable to climb ladder at the moment (bone fracture.)

Our fake one is going up tomorrow then the two real ones the weekend before Christmas. My birthday is ten days before Christmas so for years we'd put them all up the day after my birthday, but DD is excited this year and wants to put the fake one up asap so why not. She's had a challenging year and deserves to get into the festive spirit a bit early, happy for the faux-posh folk on here to think me common and vulgar!

Mine always gets decorated on 6th December.
I have a real tree, so it goes up a day or so before hand, to give it time to drink and relax before the decorating. The. It comes down around 2/3 of January.
I don’t start any visible signs of Christmas until 1st December.

I don't know anyone who HAS put it up yet!

Same here. Usually second weekend of December for us and up until 6th January for Epiphany.
