    Mine go up on 30 Nov, but don't get "switched on" until 1 Dec. I didn't put any decorations outside last year as the year before I'd put 300 tiny string lights on our tree and within 12 hours they'd been cut by the neighbourhood [strike]b*****s[/strike] children :mad: £30 wasted.

    I can't put any decs up yet as I need to sort out the house and that will take me at least 2 weeks if not longer!! :rotfl:

    We're leaving our house on the 19th as visiting relatives in Peterborough, Solihull and Nottingham before and for Christmas, so I think I'll put our decorations up a couple of weeks before that. Normally I'd do it much later but it seems daft to if we won't be around!

    We got a living tree last year and it's still going strong in our back yard (after some re-potting), so we'll bring that into the living-room :)
  • My trees not going up until decemer 1st. As it will be my sons first christmas i will have to enclose it in our playpen as my little man has started crawling and will end up pulling down the tree if it is left exposed.:rotfl:

    I am also going to decorate his buggy with some tinsel providing he doesn't attempt to eat it!

    I was wanting to put my christmas tree up earlier but i am getting him baptised on 30th november and i thought a christmas tree put up then would get in the way of our after baptism celebrations!

    Are you all having real christmas trees or fake ones? I have two fake ones.One is 6 foot tall and the other is about 30cms tall and sings and dances!
