Trumpets!! · 29-11-2009, 13:39

Has anyone else started decorating the house for Christmas?

We have started today (usually wait until December though

) but have seen decorations on on houses for a couple of weeks now. I think I am more excited then the kids!!

Next weekend! I will do my tree on Friday as it takes so long as all the branches have to be put in sepratley and decorate it on Saturday -it is my baby's first christmas so I want it to be as special as possible .

netcurtains · 29-11-2009, 13:50

I'll make a start tonight and finish off tomorrow.

g-bhxu · 29-11-2009, 13:50

I'm not bothering this year

Rachmeister · 29-11-2009, 13:54

Probably the 12th

Stiffy78 · 29-11-2009, 13:55

I normally wouldn't bother but I'm having the family, including young kids, round for christmas dinner so I'll put some up this year. It won't be until it's actually close to christmas though.

ToomaMcC · 29-11-2009, 13:56

I just put my father xmas lights round the mirror in my room, but thats it till around the 10th dec.

*AJ* · 29-11-2009, 14:01

If I was staying in my own house for Christmas, it would be Christmas Eve, but I am going to my parents' on the 23rd, so I'll probably decorate my house on the 19th or 20th, so that I've got a few days of decorations before I go away.

jabegy · 29-11-2009, 14:02

Usually the first week in December,

ShabbyPrincess · 29-11-2009, 14:04

We usually put ours up the first weekend in December, so next weekend.

Calamitous · 29-11-2009, 14:06

We usually put them up a week or so before christmas

rosemary · 29-11-2009, 14:07

We'll probably put a few up around the 12th.

Some people have had them up for weeks here and its not even December yet, The trouble with that is, by the time christmas actually comes, we've got so used to seeing them around, that it takes all the excitement out

JasonWatkins · 29-11-2009, 14:27

Never ..

FluffyEgg · 29-11-2009, 14:30

I wasn't going to do it until the week before, but I have had to go into the understairs cupboard to get something, and had to take the tree and decs out to get to it, and seeing as they are now out, we may as well stick them up. Although I would rather leave them in the box for a week at least.

trinity2002 · 29-11-2009, 14:32

I'll put them up around the 11th when I am on my days off. I only bother with a tree nowadays anyway.

29-11-2009, 14:41

Not for a week or two yet.

ScottishWoody · 29-11-2009, 14:47

Usually around the 9th-12th of December.

fairypenny · 29-11-2009, 14:48

My birthday's on the 9th, so I get that out of the way before I even think about Christmas!

C_K_07 · 29-11-2009, 14:56

Ours are going up next weekend. Will start by putting all the futtery bits up first on Friday then put the tree up on Saturday or Sunday

asunshineday · 29-11-2009, 15:03

Probably next weekend, although i've bought a few different christmas decorations the past few weeks and put them up instead of putting them away, just to get them out again!

Serenity79 · 29-11-2009, 15:03

Mine have been up for a week

29-11-2009, 15:44

23rd December.

I'm moving house on the 22nd so no point putting any up in this place!!

2shy2007 · 29-11-2009, 15:47

I was going to start and put up the outside lights today, but its too wet and cold so I shall wait for a nicer day

the tree wont go up for a couple of weeks, but the window display will probably go up in a week or so.
