When do you switch on you tree / decoration lights ?, I assume everyone switches them all off when you go to bed, but when do you switch them back on.

im at home all day and switch them on when I get up, if I go out I switch them off, but put them back on soon after I get home. I think a tree looks sad without its lights on 🥰

DH moans and says they shouldn’t be switched on until late afternoon evening when it comes dark !. He relents Christmas Eve, they go on in the morning and stay on ( except over night ) until the bed time Boxing Day

I put them on when it's starting to get dark

First thing in the morning. They’re led so don’t use much electricity or get hot.

They're on when I'm in the house if it's not bright. So a bright sunny day with plenty of light in the house, I wouldn't put them on... but that's rare at this time of year! If you need a light on the Christmas lights can go on.

Ours are on a timer to come on at 4:30 and go off at 10:30 but if I'm home in the day, I usually switch at least some of them on.
I love the cosy feeling that comes with them

Ours are also on a timer, they come on at 3pm and go off at 11pm.

Pretty much the same as @CrazyBaubles on a timer to come on around 4.30pm and off at 10.30pm. We do put them on before that if we are home
