As close to Christmas as I can get away with it all starts far too early.
Tomorrow is my daughters carol concert FFS.
I see Sky Sports news have put their tree up, no doubt the breakfast TV programmes will have theirs up as well in the morning.

First full weekend in December the tree goes up at Chez Jim

I put the outside lights up today, it's the earliest I've ever done it.

Wife always puts ours up 12 days before Christmas and take them down before 12th Night which will be another annual thread on here. Is it midnight on 5th or midnight on 6th Januay?. I go for Midnight on 5th, Christmas Day being the 1st night of Christmas.

Sky sports news is all about the sport and the women presenters. No one would give a toss if that tree wasn't there.

Don't bother with decs, but the tree goes up on last Sunday before Christmas, so this year that'll be 22nd

 

[TheJasperCo]

Roughly 2 weeks before the big day. Then taken down again within 12 days of Christmas.

 

[Frutos]

Last thing on Xmas Eve, taken down first thing Boxing Day.

Got mine up last night...wife decorated it...standing proud now

 

[Badger]

I normally do it around the 10th, but this year I decided to put them up yesterday mainly because I have already bought a lot of presents and need a tree to put them under

 

[father_and_son]

Not a day before 1st Dec...EVER!

However, first weekend in Dec is the norm as its all for the kids so they have to be involved.

 

[somerset]

2nd week of December....any earlier and you are pandering to the same marketing ploys that deliver Easter eggs into the shops from the middle of January.

 

[Birdie Boy]

The wife tells me they should go up on 1st December every year, as she puts them all up, I don't care. Although this year she started on 30th November!

 

[Racek]

They go up on the 24th here.

I put the outside lights up yesterday ...... under extreme protest !!!! Personally I think it should be two weeks before Christmas Day.
