Moulescombe?

Tongdean Avenue or Withdean Road?

Or I might just have lower body fat %age than the average NSC poster and need more artificial warmth

You should have eaten the pies at Swansea and Bournemouth.

I quite like the Dutch Sinterklaas approach where you wait until the evening of 5 Dec but then everyone puts them up at the same time. I was there for it in Amsterdam once and it was nice seeing everyone carrying trees on their way home, although if we tried it there would probably be traffic backlogs and ill-tempered queues at garden centres and some magic may be lost. Maybe that happens there as well

I saw somebody putting their's up in Mile Oak in September! What next - Easter Eggs?

When I was at Uni, there was a house with the dining room at the front, facing out onto the road I used to walk down every day. From about mid-October, the table in that room would be fully laid in preparation for Christmas dinner, with decorations on every wall.

Very odd and WAAAAAY too soon.

I got home on Friday evening to find my neighbours had put up their Christmas tree. Fully decorated, all lit up....

Now, I say its way too early for trees & decorations to be up, but my wife & youngest son asked if we could put ours up over the weekend as the neighbours now have. I steadfastly refused, & will stand my ground for another 3 or 4 weeks until its December. Its bad enough they've been watching Christmas movies for the last month or so, but I cant let them have this one.

Has anyone else put their tree or decorations up yet, or does everyone agree with me that its too soon?!

The people who normally put their decorations up in early November are normally the ones taking them down the day after Boxing Day.

Just completed our living room, leaving only Xmas stockings to put up. I’ve toned it down a bit this year.

I like the decs to go up a week before Christmas Day and take them down NY eve. I like to keep it simple. No kids so no point in going Mad Mick McMad over it. 3 ft tree in corner, cards up and some nice candles about the place will do.

I would move.

1st December is the VERY earliest any decorations should be seen. Any earlier and you might as well paint "I AM A CHAV" across the front of your house.

Surely that is a Christian thing...Christmas now is bugger all to do with Christianity and all about amazonity!

This post sent a shudder down my spine.

Really? Where? I will arrange a mob with pitchforks and burning torches!

I haven't put up a single decoration since I left home 30 years ago. I don't do Christmas. I have been been buying and eating mince pies since they've appeared in the shops though.

Love mince pies, hate Christmas.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Every single day should be like Christmas, full of joy and goodwill.

 

[BensGrandad]

Should it not be the 12 days of Christmas so put them up about 20th December and taken down on 1st or 2nd January.

Humbug

It’s the 21st Century now, Christmas celebrations start in mid November and end in early/mid January.

Mid December (15th) at earliest. Heating is on !
