Ours isn't up yet, dh been working too hard to retrieve it from the loft!

MuffinMclay · 16/12/2007 21:29

Yes. Bought it yesterday but won't put it up until Friday.

SnowMuchToBits · 16/12/2007 21:29

Mine (real one) is arriving tomorrow. I have put other decorations up today. But I feel about a week before Christmas is plenty early enough.

lilolilbethlehem · 16/12/2007 21:30

We've not. Always leave it til after DH's birthday (last Wed) but have been decorating this weekend so still not up. Am thinking if we don't get it up soon it won't be worth it!

No, and my mil is horrified. I am doing it next week end. I don't intend to do any shopping after Thursday, apart from local milk etc - and have very little planned for next week end (deliberately). Lots of the jobs have to be done early (e.g. 2nd class deadline is tomorrow)so I have focussed on those.

Shopping will be no fun next week end and with 2 dds it will be nice to spend some quiet time at home before it all goes mad on Monday.

Mines gone up today but given the choice (that is not having everyone else in the house calling me a misery-guts) I'd put it up towards the end of the week.

A tree is just for Christmas not the whole of feckin December!

We haven't got a tree.

Might get a few branches off a tree and spray them silver or summat. Hang a few chicken bones on it for decoration.

We've just finished putting ours up, it's my birthday tomorrow and it usually goes up around the 19th, but I'm way too busy this week, sadly 2 family funerals.

onepieceoflollipop · 16/12/2007 21:38

dd doesn't care; she only wants it up so she can steal the choccy decorations!

Smithagain · 16/12/2007 21:39

Ours always goes up last weekend before Christmas.

PaulaYatesbiggestfan · 16/12/2007 21:39

Shitemum · 16/12/2007 21:41

CliffRichardSucksEggsInHell · 16/12/2007 21:41

I should add though, that we are the only family in the road without, everyone else has decked their halls and walls.

TenLordsaLapin · 16/12/2007 21:45

Ours will go up on the 23rd

lilolilbethlehem · 17/12/2007 20:56

Tree still not up in the Lilo household.
But our kitchen had a lick of paint today! Far more urgent and long lasting.

pantoinghousewife · 17/12/2007 20:57

nannyL · 17/12/2007 21:10

ItCameUponAMidnightClara · 17/12/2007 21:12

No tree here yet - still waiting for it to be delivered hopefully it'll be here by Wednesday so the place can be done completely by the weekend

Donk · 17/12/2007 21:29

Ours always goes up on Christmas Eve - and stays until Jan 6th. Its a Christmas tree - not and advent tree.

Donk · 17/12/2007 21:52

ooops!
Not AN advent tree.
And not judging anyone else - its just the rule for our house.

Ours went up today

eidsvold · 17/12/2007 22:15

me - we will probably do it on the weekend. Too many small children for it to be up and out for a long time.
