I want to put my tree up!

[twinsetandpearls]

Have started the gift buying, making the mincemeat and the odd crafty present, and now I want to put my tree up. Very early I know, not sure if it is unlucky but we have had so much bad luck lately it can't get any worse.

But killjoy dp has said if the tree goes up before the twelfth he is walking!!

i thiught it was before the 6th that was inappropriate - little christmas or something to do with the virgin mary?

It's not even december!

I know but it is the first on thursday!!

I love Christmas!

You take them down on the 6th January, twelve days before and twelve after.

Mines' going up next Sunday - can't wait!

We are bored too, we were supposed to be going out but until paypal have given me my money back I am reluctant to spend anything I don;t really need to.

dp is weakening. He is now downstairs working out how to rearrange the furniture.

Put it up then!There are too many rules about who does what when just go with what you want.I love Xmas trees too

Dp has said that if we finish declutterring this afternoon we can put the tree up this evening.

I want to do it too!! DD has asked dp to get it down from the loft today and I know that once it's down I won't be able to resist!!
Can I cope with a month of the kids wrecking it though?!?!?!

some house near us has all its 'thousands of light' etc up since late october

I will save my lights until the first, I am duty bound to put them up as they are a source of great amusement for the neighbours!

I'm not putting my lights up til the first either....don't want the whole town thinking we're mad putting xmas stuff up in November!

lol! Same here!

im having mine up by next saturday when we have a party for my sis. which also means I can get rid of presents for invited rellies too

we put ours up saturday...a week gone saturday

and its snowing here today

Get a grip!

No way. I'm leaving mine as late as possible, otherwise DD gets overexcited and the tree starts to look knackered. Not to mention tha fact that we're going to have to have a major room re-jig to accommodate it this year.

ours goes up on the night of the 20th no earlier

christmas doesnt really begin until dh is off work as far as I am concerned

This year is the first time since living with Dh taht I haven't been itching to put the tree up.
I usually put it up on 1st but I really can't be fudged to do it this year.

I going to wait until the last day of term so that when ds1+2 come home from school/nursery it will all be up and ready. It will be their last day at this school so they will need cheering up.

We're going to put ours up after dd's 1st b-day on the 3rd. Figure we'd do it early this year as we're going away for 2weeks on the 30/12, can't wait!! Done most of my x-mas shopping too, so feeling lovely and christmasy already.

honeybunny please tell me your dds 1st birthday is on the 6th or am I seriously confused

so nice soup dragen

Nope, defo the 3rd. My due date was the 6th which is why I too think that her b-day is then, but birth cert def says 3rd!!! Amazing really, it's gone sooo fast.
Hope the gut bug is better, btw.
