I'll put them up before the 15th of December, probably by the weekend.

It's just me and hubby. We don't bother.

Bullied by daughter and husband, everything decorated on Saturday.... 

Ooooh, nobody put them up in November then.  

I just voted.  

BUT, in my defence.  The only reason they went up in November was because Mr Cinds was doing some work on the loft hatch and I said you might as well lift the decs down while you're up there.  Then when I saw everything lying around, I thought I might as well put them up so he could put all the boxes back up in the attic while he was up there, honest. 

Oh sorry Cinds  That's cool.  About 5 or 6 people near me put theirs up in the last week of November.  

I put mine up today...  I don't usually put them up this early, but I thought, what the heck..... I blame Sweet Winter

I won't bother with dust gatherers decorations this year again

Ours are going up next weekend ... hubby is currently painting the hall, stairs and landing so we are in a bit of a mess atm.

Just thought - I'd better get to to get them out of the loft before he paints the loft hatch!!

I'm not bothering to put any up this year.

Me either 

mine went up in November 

DFecember 16/17 for me .................it adds to the excitement ...............too early and it gets on my nerves! Mine are taken down on Jan 2nd!

Mine too sooz - I like to get back to normal before I go back to work

Nooooo, you must wait til Twelfth Night............tis the LAW!

I wasn't going to bother until about a week before The Day, but some people (and they know who they are ) got everything out of the lofts and dumped the boxes in the lounge today.

So it looks like it's imminent at Cosmo Towers...

 I thought they had to be down before twelfth night 

But they have to be sat in the middle of the lounge for a while until you "Get around to it"

Midnight Twelfth Night (when I type Twelfth, I feel all medieval)......

Why Jen?

Go on go on go on 

   I can see you floating around in your long dress with the high collar and sitting down to a hog roast every night 

*gets dunking paraphernalia out* 

I cannot think of of which you are speaking about 

Is that which witch, or which which?  

Of of Eastwick, Yes, them's the ones, twelve of em there were, and the twelf one look just like Cinds......

Normally go up a week or so before Christmas and come down on 2nd Jan.

When the kids were small we used to put them up on the first weekend in December as it added to the excitement

I remember one year ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,when it had all been a bit manic - I didn't put up my tree until Christmas Eve - my oldest bubby was two - when he work up in the morning to stocking in bed and then came downstairs to a sparkling tree and a pile of pressies - I swear it was truly magical. I think kids are wound up far too early before the big day TBH - 'keep it short - make it magical',

I agree, Christmas used to be about Children, which the adults enjoyed through their eyes, the adults enjoyed Christmas for the children and New Year was for them.

Yes .............that's how I think it should be!

Nice bit of Lancashire clog dancing in this to get the festive season going

I remember making up a Lego fire engine and a police station late one Christmas Eve.

I think I got up before I went to bed that night!

Never buy little 3 year olds large Lego stuff unless you're free of kitchen duties on the big day.

That's Christmas....

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww - I remember my sister building a Barbie House for her daughter one Christmas Eve  while her husband was at the pub. He came in drunk - fell over and broke it to pieces - I'd have killed him if it had been me!

Putting them up on Thursday night

Soozy, you do make me laugh.....as i said to Cosmo.....

That's Christmas....
