Earlier will be first week december for us, usually around 4 th .my birthday!
Ahh another Sagittarian! I’m 11 December.
Me too - 8th. Never put any decorations etc up until after that.
Me too - just! 23 November
Me too, the 1st.
Me too - the 20th. There are so many of us - do you think us Saggitarians ate more prone to RD?
Our (sort of) christmas tree goes up on the 20th...
What’s a sort of Christmas tree 🎄
It’s a wire cone, with glitter, a few baubles, and a thing with wings on top. We”ve had it for about 20 years.
Not yet for me. I love a real tree and always keep it up until 12th night if I can. So that it will keep most of it’s needles till then I will probably wait until mid-December. But I might put up other decorations and lights before that.
Unfortunately my paper white daffodils are doing so well already I think they will flower and be finished before Christmas. Perhaps the hyacinths will get their timing right.
Not a bad idea mate, may follow your idea. Not supposed to see my grandkids but am missing them
Really difficult times. Got no treatment for my RA at the moment sick of them seeing me with no energy and in pain
We usually buy ours beginning of December so the choice is good but leave it in the garden in a bucket of water. We bring it in to dry 2 or 3 days before decorating it a week before Christmas. Haven’t discussed what we'll do this year yet but it will be out of the house on 12th night.
I'd forgotten, we'll need 2 this year. The second will have to be an artificial one. That's tonight spent shopping on line then, once Strictly's finished of course.
Of course lol
I was on a trial drug but because I have Addisons my steroids levels were too high so they threw me off the trial after 34 weeks. My local CCG now won't pay for any further Biologics. Bit stuck at Mo but am going to ask for a referral to Addenbrookes
That’s shocking really to leave you in limbo with nothing... I really wish you well
They can’t leave you in pain like this! Do what I did write to your MPsuddenly money was available!!
Me I have my conservatory tree and lights up and front window lights up only have a pop up tree in living room (for now) as having new floor fitted end of month . I recommend it cheers you up after this awful year 🎄🌲🎅
Thanks for kind words. Always feels like we are fighting against the NHS and others.. These phone call appointments don't work for me at the moment. Will sort the decorations out as you suggest.
My friends little girl wanted to put theirs up on March 23rd in first lockdown!! She was told it was a tad early.
But I got my first hand made Christmas card from her in May instead! Bless her, she's only 7 and loves Christmas!
Awww bless her 🎄
Not me, I don’t put it up till a week before Christmas. I do put quite a lot of lights in the garden though from late November!
My flat is normally a Christmas free zone - no tree or decorations. Bah humbug!
I have put some fairy lights on today, for Diwali as we can all do with more light in our lives at the moment xx
I put mine up in our Cornwall house, go for it! We all need cheering up during this time.
Going to put mine up 1st December, need to brighten our lives up. I’ve even got most of my shopping done, online of course. Just hope I can see my family to give them out.
I’m done & wrapped ... how sad is that lol
Well done, I ran out of sellotape or mine would be done, on my shopping list for this week. 🎄🎄
Not sad at all. I’ve got some pressies, some paper and one day soon I’ll wrap and be just like you 😉
My daughters birthday is 8th December, I usually put the tree up the first weekend after her birthday.
Putting mine up 2nd Dec when lockdown is over and grandsons can come round again oh and Advent calanders for them x
My daughter has been asking for weeks but OH hates decorations up before mid-December at the earliest! So they have settled on 1st Dec as a compromise. Xx
Humbug lol compromise is good x
20th December for me. I like it to still be a novelty on Christmas Day.
My birthday is on the 20th so it goes up after that. Although it’s got later and later in recent years until a couple of years ago I wondered if it was even worth bothering - husband said YES! So it eventually went up on Christmas Eve even though we had bought it early in December.
We’ve got lots of solar lights on the trees in the back garden - they stay up all year - unfortunately there isn’t enough sun these days to get the lights to work well which is a shame as it’s lovely to look out on them.
I’ve got those Christmas candelabra things in all the windows though and they look lovely from outside.
Yes, ours is up, we're slowly decorating it for the big switch on, not sure when that will be 😁
I think it’s best to do gradually specially us lot coz it’s a lot to do in one day
I used to insist on waiting till the traditional day, Christmas Eve. I thought it was more exciting -for me as well as the children! But since they all grew up they bully me into doing it much earlier - about a week or ten days before Christmas. Thinking of getting an artificial one this year though.
Mine get put up the weekend before Christmas Day. Trees in the lounge and dining room and lights outside on the rowan tree and in the back garden on a Christmas tree that my daughter purchased when she first started teaching and lived in a flat; it was then about a foot high in a small pot. It is now over seven foot and resides in our back garden which we love to put lights on it each year. She is now married with two children and we care for her tree. We live too far away to transfer it to her garden.
I love decorating for Christmas and usually purchase something new each year and still put both my daughter and son's little things they made at school on the tree. They are 46 and 43 now.
I am interested to see if my son and family will be having a tree this year, they had two last year, one in their conservatory and one in the lounge. Cookie their cat was about six months old then and destroyed both of the trees and most of the decorations!!
Due to covid19 we won't be able to visit them this year. Both families live too far away us, hence we are not in their bubble. Still we have zoom and the telephone, so mustn't grumble.
I agree. I was thinking the same thing.🎅🇺🇸
Go for it! Bright lights and tinsel ..... what's not to love 🎅
I haven’t seen any but I’ve been told there are some up in our area. I’ve got a feeling if I put ours up too early I’ll get fed up looking at it by Christmas
Yh me too and the dust
I grew up putting it up on Christmas Eve, my other half grew up putting it up super early, so now we compromise and it goes up at the start of the week before Christmas, so we're getting it on 14th Dec this year. Just found a local tree farm that delivers, so booked it today - can't wait 
Just ordered a bamboo one from Ikea for the back living room. Real one will go in the lounge (or best room as my Nan used to have it!).
Never seen a bamboo one
Me neither til today. Just wanted something a little smaller & manageable. This is it... ikea.com/gb/en/p/vinter-202... I have lots of Georg Jensen flat decs I'm going to put on it.
Wow that’s definitely different
My aunt was born on Christmas Day. She puts the Christmas tree and decorations up In November. Celebrates Christmas On Christmas Eve. Midnight takes down all the decorations and say right today is my birthday and has a birthday party.. always 2 sets of presents refuses joint birthday/Christmas presents.
Always put my tree up around the 20th. Takes up too much room... bah humbug 😁

My sister in law was born on New Year’s Eve! She hates it. She says everyone celebrating the end of her birthday.
My dad was born on Christmas Day but he just had 2 lots of prezzies ... Yh tree does take up a lot of room
I think we all need a bit of good cheer at the moment. On our local news a village has agreed to all put up their decorations together to give communal cheer. A great idea 🎄
Brilliant 🌲
Gave my presents to family all wrapped up back in August because they live all over the country and I knew we would be in lockdown 😒
Flipping hell thought I was early ... forward thinking 🤔
