When do you put your Christmas decorations up?

Our tree is the last thing to go up and is always the weekend after DD1's birthday on the 29th.

I'm busy making decorations and a new table cloth/napkins for this year so already been watching christmas films to get me in the spirit.

Taking DD's to Euro Disney on the 18th for the day and then off to Bruges Christmas market on the 20th so will be truely and utterly ready for the festivities. :T

My fiance is Flemish, and over there they have Sinter Klaas Day which is on the 6th December, so that`s when the decorations are going up. :-) (we also exchange a gift too)

I have also put up the tree at the top of the stairs I LOVE xmas I am worse than the children...:rotfl:
My partner said he thinks it should be next weekend that we put it all up but me being a women:o I got my way...:rotfl:
The neighbours looked at us weird when they returned home..lol..

Might put up the 10ft inflatable snowman out front tomorrow that will shock the neighbours even more:rotfl:

oh my goodness, while walking home with my dd this evening. we saw 6 houses with their dec's up in one road. was really keen as hubby said ours could go up today. but i've come home to a very poorly boy, so concentrating on getting him better. so back to next weekend for us. but seeing the tree's lite up did look fantastic.

Ours usually go up the first weekend in Dec but we are away this year visiting family for an 'early xmas' so they are going up the night before we leave so we can come back and stay festive :santa2:

We're not big into decorations mind - we have a tree which has some tinsel on it, some bits of tinsel on picture frames/bookcases etc, some xmassy tealight holders and a few xmassy ornaments that OH has bought me from the german xmas market every year for my stocking ..... and thats it

Anything else and the dogs try to eat them :snow_laug

Aw, fun!
We tried to go to the German Christmas markets last year, but the Eurostar managed to get stuck in the channel tunnel the day before we were due to go out.
