    Some around here have started, but like us I think most will go up this coming weekend. I hope it's dry so OH can get the outside lights up too.

    Ours went up on Sunday.
    It's a tradition that the tree is up & lit when the not-so-little Luxes return for Christmas. DS2 is due back on Friday & we're busy all week, so Sunday was the day!
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.
  • dd2 is 16 on Wdnesday - and hoardes of girls will invade to celebrate and sleep on Saturday.

    So Sunday it is!

    Ours is going up once we've removed all the kids Lego Star Wars models :rolleyes: (in various stages) up into their bedroom! We've foolishly allowed them a corner in our sitting room and we can't put our tree up until they're all shifted! Hopefully, some time this week.

    I put mine up yesterday - its a bit scaled down from what it was last year, but it looks lovely! Bought some new lights in BHS sale at the weekend and they look gorgeous - they really brighten up the room.
