Wyevale have started..when do you put your tree up...

[ByTheWay1]

OMG - not yet please.... 2 fairly cute willow reindeer were out today - it is September.

On another note do you buy real/imitation and when do you put up/take down..

We are torn this year - I like a real one - but have a new dog.....who lives where the tree normally goes...

Ours goes up around the 14th and down after new year....

First weekend in December or thereabouts, and everything stays up until Jan 6th (or a couple of days after if I'm not organised ).

Having said that, DD's 2nd birthday is New Years Day and I may start to dismantle Christmas earlier if it starts to feel like it's overshadowing her birthday in future (PFB alert!).

Oreocrumbs ok understand that, must be a hard time for you.
