Does anyone put their tree up super early?

I LOVE Christmas and love having the tree up. I always take it down a lot later than most people because I hate doing it!

So am thinking of the putting the tree up early this year...it's my home, I'll do as I please Grin. I also have the support of DP...I think!

So, when is yours going up?

The two (real.....just have to be real) trees go up on the first Sunday in December and come down the day after little Christmas! I can't wait I just adore Christmas!

GwendolineScaryLacey · 29/10/2012 20:59

About the 15th I think. A 4yo and a 9mo so the tree will have to go in the playpen which takes up the entire front room. I'm looking forward to taking the bugger down already!

1st weekend in December usually. We always get a real tree and it's always fine until Christmas, though the needles are a bit crispy by New Year! We usually take it down about 3rd Jan to give the living room a good clean and tidy before going back to work.

Normally the 1st weekend in dec for us lot

Last year was the first Christmas we had in a house. ( we had a one bedroom flat before that) so I went a bit mad and put it up mid November. I was just so excited to have loads of space to decorate and a fireplace Blush
I promised myself i wouldn't do it too early this year but I know I won't stick to that as it is babies first Christmas. No one else minds so i do as I please

Gammeldragz · 28/09/2017 14:29

15-18th. I get bored of it after a while!

WhoseGonnaDriveUHomePorkPie · 28/09/2017 18:35

First weekend in December. Probably on the Friday evening as the kids can't wait. I'm keen to get the decks up but very anti people's who don't wait until December, that seems to be becoming more common nowadays 😡

Redglitter · 28/09/2017 18:39

I think mine will be early December which is unusual for me. I'm quite excited this year I've only had a small slim line tree before because of the space in my living room. This will be my first Christmas in my house and I'm planning on a full size tree with plenty lights etc. There may also be candle arches/lights in the windows too Smile

Isadora2007 · 28/09/2017 18:48

I was getting very confused about the 3rd being a Monday... then realised this post was from a few years ago!

Our tree will probably go up Thursday the 30th this year as I'm running a Xmas Fete on the Friday and out all weekend the 2-3rd...

I don't understand putting tree up or down around someone's birthday. Especially adult?
With dd and bday is near Halloween and I have loads of Dec's so party stuff and Halloween stuff clashes but we are not bothered really it's just if we have a theme one year.. Don't have Halloween stuff. Dh wouldn't care about Xmas Dec's and his bday.

A friend dh had bday on boxing day and she was adamant because of this Dec's had to come down... Confused

Anyway, second week of December here... And comes down when I feel I can relinquish it Grin definalty don't work to dates.. Could be two three weeks into January could be soon after Xmas

5 year old thread

Unicorn81 · 28/09/2017 18:52

First here too, takes ages but worth it. Doesnt feel christmassy until its all up. Cant wait!

Justgivemesomepeace · 28/09/2017 18:52

First Monday in dec. Monday's are my day off and I intend to do it in peace when no one else is here to tell me how to do it.

woollyminded · 28/09/2017 19:00

I love a Christmas tree but I have it up quite briefly and I also enjoy my Christmas 'season' short and sweet so it will go up around the 20th and be gone on 2nd.

MuddlingThroughLife · 28/09/2017 19:05

1st Saturday of December normally, but if the first of December falls on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday then it will go up last couple days of November. Comes down no later than 30th December to make room for our NYE party. 🎗

sunseptember · 28/09/2017 19:14

Another!

Mumof217 · 28/09/2017 19:15

Used to put it up end of november but got bored of it by xmas so will be waiting this year until last minute

dudsville · 28/09/2017 19:17

Nearest to December 1st as is comfortable!

n0ne · 28/09/2017 19:45

7th December as it's the crime of the century here to acknowledge Christmas before St Nicholas' day. Similarly, they have to be taken down by 6th Jan which is Epiphany.

Crumbs1 · 28/09/2017 19:50

All the men go out on weekend before Christmas and chop them down. We all decorate it together.

Dinosauratemydaffodils · 28/09/2017 20:21

They all go up on the night of the 30th so when Ds wakes up on the 1st of December they are ready to be decorated.

Pinkflamingo121318 · 28/09/2017 20:26

1st December always!! All Christmas decorations go up that day!

Crumbs1 · 28/09/2017 20:52

But all the needles will drop if you've cut it that early, no?

LexyD1986 · 28/09/2017 21:30

We put ours up on the 1st, but it comes down between Christmas and new year.

RuggerHug · 28/09/2017 21:34
