Have you got your tree up yet?

It seems like half of my Facebook newsfeed have already got their tree up. I don't remember it ever starting this early when I was a kid!

God no. 15th Dec to 28th.

MichaelAndEagle · 23/11/2023 16:44

No because I like to keep mine up into early January and I'd be sick of it.

Peridot1 · 23/11/2023 16:50

No. Way too early for me. I like it up until January as well.

Need to wait until DS is home from uni early next month as it’s a three person job to get it all down from the loft.

marshmallowfinder · 23/11/2023 16:54

Of course not! Too fucking early.

yellowlane · 23/11/2023 16:57

Putting mine up this weekend

bengalcat · 23/11/2023 16:58

I’ll likely sort it weekend 16/17 December but might wait until DD back from Uni on the 20th

Just bought mine as they had them in stock in Lidl! Currently in water in the porch but will decorate on Saturday.
To those saying real ones will be dead by Christmas- I've always had a real one up about this time of year, make sure they are always stood in water and they last ages!

Thisepisodeof · 23/11/2023 18:01

Ours is going up this weekend. I usually do it the first weekend in December but from this weekend onwards we're full on scheduled out with commitments/activities, and I'd rather go early than late.

HeavenCANTwait · 23/11/2023 18:01

First weekend in December - so, 2nd

QuestionableMouse · 23/11/2023 18:04

I'm fed up, sick of the the dark and so putting mine up tonight.

WWGDD · 23/11/2023 18:07

I've seen a few up already and it's really cheered me up so ours is hopefully going up this weekend

LittleGreenDuck · 23/11/2023 18:33

Good grief no. There are twelve days of Christmas. None of those days are in November.

Northsideoftheriver · 23/11/2023 18:36

I'm going to do it this weekend to brighten the place up. Zero fucks about what anyone else thinks.

DRS1970 · 23/11/2023 18:41

I think mine will be up in time for Christmas.... 2024.

TryingToTalkYourWayOutOfIt · 23/11/2023 18:42

Yes, it's up in the loft where it will stay until mid-December

WeeSleekitCowrinTimrousBeastie · 23/11/2023 18:44

No. It's November

Itisyourturntowashthebath · 23/11/2023 18:53

I'm quite happy to spend about 10% of the year on Christmas. But it don't start until advent.

frozendaisy · 23/11/2023 19:07

If we put it up this early the kids would think we have lost the plot!

They love it but hey they still have 4 weeks of school left.

PhantomUnicorn · 23/11/2023 19:12

god no, not til after 15th as its up til jan

FlyingHighFlyingLow · 23/11/2023 19:12

Ours is up! Normally wouldn't be but I'm due our first child next week and we didn't think we'd want to be putting it up with a newborn 😅

Edit to say its also not a real tree so no issues there!

LilyLemonade · 23/11/2023 19:21

No, i start to put Christmas lights etc up in early December but no tree until around 12-15 December.

Frasers · 23/11/2023 19:24

No, and no one on my feed does either, nor any neighbours, suspect that’s cos it’s November,

Squidwardthesnail · 23/11/2023 19:25

Yeah we do. The kids were sick with a stomach bug and were totally miserable so we wanted to cheer them up, and we knew a fair few others thay had theirs up already

Greatfull · 23/11/2023 19:30

Not til two weeks before Christmas
