When do you put your Christmas decorations up?

I'm a last minute gal but some of my family already have theirs up, I think tis a tad early.

^^ Christmas trees when we cleared out the attic bedroom - one is pink and one is black, I have no idea when or where I acquired those!

thats like saying that Christmas is celebrating the slaughter of first born sons....when they went a rampaging to assasinate the son of god if you believe the history of the old tome.

no its a celebration of being able to survive the early years in the States as settlers

I'm not sure yet if I will bother this year, first year ever but my eldest son has his own house now and my grandson will be there Christmas Day instead of being here for the last 11 Christmas Days! I'm working Christmas Eve, Boxing Day and the Monday bank holiday too and so I'm only home Christmas Day over that weekend, glad there are 2 bank holidays though as the opening hours on the monday will be 10-4 like a sunday

> I'd put them up on Christmas Eve, if I had it my way.

I don't decorate at all.

First week in December if I can

My mother had been 'in service' (for a top Harley Street surgeon). So, when I was a child, everything had to be done the way that it had been 'in the big house' (even though we lived on a council estate). That meant that the Christmas tree and decorations were put up after tea on Christmas Eve, and taken down on 12th night. My mother was seethjng with anger if she saw that anyone else had put up their Christmas decorations before then. ("It's disgraceful", she'd say, "and so common. There ought to be a law against it!").

So I don't exactly rush to put my decorations up. (I've started my Christmas shopping, including all of the Christmas cards which needed to be posted to the UK and abroad, at 3.30pm on Christmas Eve before now!). Last year I wrapped a couple of strands of tinsel around my computer monitor, and put my Christmas cards out on display, on New Year's Eve!
