  • i cant wait now but i dont want to break tradition as i think its part of what makes xmas special and i love the excitement of building up to dec 1st lol. but all your decs look so lovely. iv been cleaning and tidying house and clearing a space for the tree so its all ready and iv bought some lovely home fragrance from body shop to make it smell all xmasy. last year i really cut back on decs as we had just put house on market and i didnt want to overwhelm people who were viewing but this year seen as we still havent sold ( long story 1 buyer pulled out at last min ) and housing market is rubbish anyway iv decided if people come to view and they dont like it too bad im having a fab xmas.

    I was going to put mine up on last weekend in november (usually 1st weekend in december) We have now booked 1st december off to get the tree as we have a voucher £5 off but its not valid until the 1st :o

    We always have a real tree. There is nothing like the real thing. this is our second christmas in this house and i cant wait. The house looks fab when the decs are up :)
