Fairy lights and tea lights out in my house. Decorations up on the 16th November (tradition as it’s the day after my mum’s birthday). I genuinely can’t wait! Love it!

I put mine up on the 1st! My DM and my OH would have a fit if I put the up any earlier hahaha
Spoil sports!

Festive greetings OP. Enjoy your afternoon Wine

Love it- merry Christmas OP!

Threads like this get right on my wick. Good for you OP. Do what’s right for you and yours.

To the rest of the miserable posters who don’t get it, get off the Christmas boards. Honestly, leave and stop moaning about how others do Christmas just because it’s not the way you do it. There isn’t a law that says where and when.

Good for you Op. Enjoy.

Merry Christmas @Therunecaster I’ve just found this thread and realised it is a through the years one and absolutely made my day! We’re going to put the outside lights on the tree this weekend and I’m going to make a start on the Christmas cards with some music on, whoop!

Idolovetrees · 06/11/2021 16:58

You do realise Xmas day isn't until the 25th Dec right? 7 weeks

Oh no, is it really?
Therunecaster · 06/11/2021 17:19

We have had a most lovely afternoon. About half the decorations are up. Rest will go up when the real tree comes. Merry Christmas to you all. You make my Christmas xx

God there’s some miserable gits on here. Good for you op. It’s a bit early for me to put the tree up, but I’ve bought a gorgeous sleigh and reindeer shaped bowl which I might sneak onto the table now I’ve read this.

Thewolvesarerunningagain · 06/11/2021 17:40

I’d have the decorations up if DH would be likely to agree already. He likes to put them up the weekend before 😩. I’ll have to content myself with opening the baileys early :-)

Sn0tnose · 06/11/2021 18:17

Ooh, you’ve gone rogue with this years tree lights!

Sn0tnose · 06/11/2021 18:20

Sorry, that sounded really rude! The tree is lovely 😊

DappyApple · 06/11/2021 19:31

I was starting to think you were my neighbours as their tree goes up this time every year, Im sure last year it was put up in the last week in October!
I used to think it was way too early but after the crap everyone has had to deal with over the last 18 months I’m just thinking Fuck it….why not!

This year I’m itching to get mine up, normally I wait until December 1st, but I’ll hang off for a couple of weeks (if I can)

This thread has cheered me up after I realised that it was a continuation from 2018……Good on You!

Ps I love your sofa!

Nice pics of your decs there. Xmas Smile

@Bowchicawowow

Why? I don’t understand grown adults who get so excited about Christmas Confused
You're on the wrong board 😂
