Is your tree up?

Is your tree up?

Yes, up in the attic where it belongs BECAUSE IT'S STILL BLOODY NOVEMBER

No judging from me enjoy your trees just because I’m going old fashioned not everyone has too.

Beautiful especially the garlands.

Why are you shouting?

Yes, we have small one in the dining room, the main gonna be in living room and there's still time.

“For everybody going: "NO!! + sarcastic elaboration", chill the fuck out.”

I think you’ll find that it’s those with the pathological need to put Christmas decorations up when it’s not Christmas that need to take your advice. Us not-yet types are not actually that arsed.

@Goingfortheblue @Always4Brenner
Thank you ☺️

For a long time I had different colours on my tree but for the last few years I’ve stuck with traditional and I love it!

The garland and the big bushy tree were 2 of the things I bought with money my mum left after she died. She loved a well decorated tree so I always think of her when it’s up.

I love seeing them up. For goodness sake if it brings people happiness in the currently awful situation a lot of people are in ,then leave them alone. Ours is usually up on December 1st but we will be away so I'm putting it up tomorrow or Sunday because I want it up for when we get back.

No. Too early at the moment. Me and DH are doing it next Wednesday. Both off work Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Got a shit load of lights to put on the trees and bushes outside, and over the front of the house/down the side of the house, and around the garage etc. Then there's the tree inside, and all the decorations inside too. Takes 2-3 days from start to finish but looks lovely when it's done. All the lights will be switched on next Friday 2nd December. Will all come down Tuesday 3rd January 2023.

Not me. I think mid December is perfectly reasonable, even earlier with little kids, but we are at an age where we pay lip service to Christmas, other than spending the day itself at my daughter 2 hours drive away.

Yep and will stay up until 6th January 😛

My tree was delivered today, and we will set it up and decorate this weekend. In the US it's pretty standard to set up the tree the day after Thanksgiving (which is today, and I'm an expat).

I'm being induced either next week or the week after, and I don't know if we'll get another chance. We might not do anything else particularly festive this year, what with our first newborn to look after. What a Christmas!

The tree goes up on Christmas Eve and down on the Epiphany.

Honestly why do people care if others put Christmas trees up at the end of November or Christmas eve?

Each to their own, you do you. And tbh others saying its not the right time to do it etc are bat shit and way over invested in strangers lives.

We put ours up this morning in the end, we've all been ill and tired out so it was a nice cheery activity. They make our home look so welcoming and cosy, I'm really pleased we did them.

Not yet but think I’m going to do it on Wednesday so it’s up for the 1st and advent calendars …. Also I’ve got bloody MTD to do for 7th so coming up with every excuse in the book to not make a start on the VAT 😁

Tree is up.

However its not decorated as we appear to have lost the lights.

I am not a happy bunny.

Mine will be later.
I have literally 1 morning free between now and Xmas and thats on 20th dec (without work, school plays, pre school plays, 3 parents eve on different days, seeing santa, etc etc.)
And one morning is not enough time and the dcs will be here. They've done their bedroom ones today.

This afternoon early dinner, baths bed. Then a late night me dh and eldest sorting decs

I'll put mine up in next weekend most probably

Mine is up and looking fab! I'm enjoying it.

Would love to see photos!

No.
It’s not being delivered until the 8th December.

I’m in the Canaries until tomorrow. Ha! (I’d be happy to stay here and sod the festive season.).

No I've not got a tree yet, will get a real one in a couple of weeks.

I did see a fair few outside lights and decorations on my way home last night in the dark. They looked lovely.

I like seeing what everyone else's Christmas decorations and trees look like. I'm so nosey!
@alfagirl73 good for you.

Mine is assembled (would love to do real tree but too much hassle) but not decorated yet. The children will do a fantastic job of trimming it up. The youngest will be placing lots of baubles in one little area and our artistic eldest will be having a meltdown because it looks lopsided. Fun.

People on Mumsnet dust about 20 times a day though.
