Be honest please! who else can't wait to start decorating their home

[Chottie]

for Christmas? :)

Me!

I am already listening to Christmas music and counting down the hours

But this year I'm actually waiting far longer than I normally would - will be putting up the tree and a few candle arrangements about two weeks into dec and then adding fresh foliage on the 23rd or 24th.

Me! So excited! I've been buying new decorations over the last few weeks and I can't wait to put them up.

chomping at the bit here.

Chomp chomp chomp

So excited.

Oh and I moved house this year and our staircase is in the living room. Excited to have a garland down the stairs.

Me!
But I've a house move to get through first. What's keeping me going is the thought that by the time I've moved, it'll "soon" be time to get the Christmas decorations up!!

I love my staircase in the living room

Fantastic! what's everyone planning on doing decoration wise this year? I will have a homemade Christmas wreath on the door, a tree in the lounge and a glass vase full of silver twigs with little star lights on them in the kitchen. There will also be a Christmas arrangement in the hall and I will make a candle and greenery arrangement for the table centre.

I'm not sure if I'm excited or terrified! Dd will be 20 months in December and I'm sure she's going to adore the decorations but I'm just not sure how I'm going to arrange them so she can't get to them, or pull the tree on herself

Ooh me too. I currently have my newly purchased large nativity set sitting in a big box in the hallway... Just waiting for me to add a little straw for authenticity.

V excited this year, first year in our new house & first one staying at home for many, many years!

I have to say, as much as I like to be well prepared I don't like having the decs up too early.

For me the christmas decs mean it's all on the downward spiral to being over.

Plus, I like to feel like come christmas the decs are still exciting!

One year, I got so excited about Christmas I put the decorations and tree up at the beginning of December. Come the 21st I was so sick of the sight of them, they came down before christmas had even arrived!

I'm excited first christmas in our new home can't wait to decorate.... However I'm not as excited as the house opposite who decorated for Christmas three weeks ago

I love Christmas decorations but not until mid December.

Me. I treat myself to new disney decorations each year. The 2014 supply came today - dated bauble, tree topper and some snow globes.

I can't wait either planning to have the hallway re-decorated by then so I can go all out wishful thinking !!

Oh me!!! I am moving house at the end of this month to a much bigger place with a huge window, can't wait to get a big tree infront of it!

Really excited, I bought a new tree topper yesterday. Going full on nordic in the living room and the tree in the hall is up to dd.

Me! I bought two new tree decorations at the weekend (I really like John Lewis' selection this year). Still can't decide if we'll have a tree this year though as DD will only be 2 and I think she's very likely to pull the decorations off for fun and break them.

Me! I'm halfway through properly decorating my lounge - diner and I can't wait to see it firstly, done and secondly, decorated for Christmas! We have a new corner unit sofa coming in the first week of Dec. The Dec's will go up around then. I'm really excited!

I have always disliked Christmas but last year I had my first baby and this year I will have our second :)

So it's happier now. I am buying a new tree - full one instead of a cheapy old threadbare one.

I am getting a pre lit garland for the fireplace and have a chunky wooden white Noel letters. For the mirror above the fireplace i have an M&S wreath in white berry so the look will be simple. I am going to get the Matalan range of decorations - white, tartan and sage green.

Though decrations are mostly green and white, for the red is more red berry style. I already have a red berry heart wreath for the door and pearl fairly lights for the kitchen window, red berry centrepiece for the Christmas table.

I have just decorated for halloween at the minute so that will keep the Christmas pangs at bay for a while. November will be finishing jobs/decorating touch ups around the house and then December 1st I shall unleash all things festive

Me. I'm going to get started by making this - funcraftskids.com/christmas-tree-crafts-sticks/. It will not be a fun craft for kids, it will be a fun craft for me so I can do it nicely and prettily!

I've got the tree out and decorated it with halloween stuff. I'll put it away at the begining of November, though. :)

I'll probably do a winter wonderland theme from November onwards. Maybe a few snowflake garlands and some blue fairy lights.
