Anyone with kids that HASNT decorated yet?

Everyone on here seems to have!

It's over 7 weeks until 12th night - absolutely no way do I want to be cleaning around xmas decorations for nearly 2 months!

No way not until the 1st December.

No! I’ve got a 3 and 6 year old, the tree will not be up before the second week in December! It annoys me having it up for three weeks never mind longer.

Northerner here. No one I know has! Only just got rid of Halloween decs

Lots of my friends have but I haven't. Usually do it the first weekend in December but it might be later this year. The 16 month old is a complete savage and I'll end up redecorating it every night! I'm not ready for that. 😂

Decorations going up Wednesday here! I am due DS2 in a week though so want Xmas decs up before he arrives. Would do them early December otherwise.

I won’t until December 6th

Mines up and it's lovely sat with the twinkly lights. We've had an awful year, lost fil, worries about work, covid, dd missed her prom and it would have been next week if the rearranged one happened blah blah blah. We usually start doing a few Christmassy things like a Christmas market, garden centre for tree ornaments, go christmas shopping for family memvers etc but obviously not thus year.

So have put tree up instead. Otabout 2 weeks earlier than normal but there is nothing normal about this year. Plus if lockdown does ease a bit early December I want to try and do a few normal things at the weekend with them so if we get the tree done we can without worrying about putting the tree up.

We’ve put a few things up in girls bedrooms. Next Friday we’re doing it properly oh is off to do all the lights out side and going to get our tree, we always get a real one. Everyone keeps saying it won’t last but we’re prepared to get another if we have to after this year I just want a magical Christmas.

God I put them up as late as I can (usually two weeks prior) and they are down before New year.

No, not here. We have an artificial tree but it's not coming out the loft till December.

No way, the tree goes up the week before Christmas every year and this year won't be any different.

I have seen at least 3 on fb though who have put theirs up over the past week and some have put lights outside their houses. (None of these of young kids).

Most of these people will also remove everything on Boxing Day as "Christmas is over then".

Everyone seems to be using Covid as an excuse "oh we need something to cheer ourselves up".

I am old fashioned, and like Christmas to actually be at Christmas, and enjoy it at that time and not for 6 weeks beforehand.

*none of these HAVE young kids

No. It’s a class thing. Far too early.

Oooh, how do Xmas decs and when they go up denote class?

We do it on the last day of term. School's out, Christmas is on!

Not here. We always left the tree and the decorations for the kids to do when school broke up.

Now that they are grown up we still leave it until around that time. So a few days before Christmas until about New Year's Day, when I have really had enough of them.

We haven’t.usually do it first weekend in December, but this year we’ll only get the dining room tree up then. The lounge one will have to wait a while - we’re decorating and the new carpet can’t be fitted until 14th Dec.

No. It’s a class thing. Far too early.

What bollocks

Not yet.
We do 1st december take down 31st.

It seems too soon to put up before the advent calendar starts.

I'm looking forward to this year as I got my DD a giant advent from b and m with frozen books In. She's a bookworm.

Absolutely not.
Halloween decs only came down a few weeks ago, then bonfire night, now we have diwali in the area.. Christmas isn't until December and I think the rush to start it is abit silly, we won't be decorating until likey second week in December, so much goes on in October/November, I honestly can't see the rush.

Plus the build up is lovely, waiting for that special time. If they go up now, I can imagine the anticipation and shine goes by the time Xmas rolls around!

I've been out and about and have only see a couple of houses with decorations up!

We’re going to do the last weekend in November. Usually we do it the first weekend in December, but all being well, we have plans that weekend. DS has a November birthday so we didn’t want to do it before then.

Way too early!

We usually do the first or second week in December. I don’t want to be staring at a Christmas tree from mid November onwards.

No we have our tree choosing slot booked on the 12th.

If it was up to me the tree would go up the last weekend before Xmas and come down on the 27th.

I do have outdoor lights up though abs the kitchen and window sills have lights too.

Warm white, static. Adds an ambient glow, doesnt scream Xmas.

I agree with @BettysSpaghetti who says it's a class thing for putting up decorations early. Clearly the person who posted that is CLASSLESS.
