    my hubby and niece who lives with us have been mithering me to put them up and to be honest I would love too just give in and put the tree up as this year my tree will be full of disney decorations that I have collected during the last few years. I have a passion for all things disney and have always wanted a disney tree so this year is gonna be extra special as I now have enough to complete my tree.

    The only thing that is keeping me from giving in is "What will the neighbours think?" lol. I really shouldnt care what any one else thinks but I do and cannot help it.

    So the question is - do I give in or try and hang out for Saturday 27th November so that the dec's are up ready for 1st December as saturday is the only day when we will all be together and have enough time to do it as a family.

    Give in? or wait? - ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh decisions lol xxx
    Remember is nice to be important but more important to be nice

  • Im terrible im literally itching to put mine up!!! Ive settled it slightly by putting my snowglobes out, but have also put on my next xmas bedding and lights around the bed ;) My dp just laughed he knows how much of a big kid i am!!!
    Roll on sat 27th Nov my house will well and truly be xmasy!!! Tastefully of course!! :P
  • I love putting Christmas decs up! We make an afternoon of it usually the first weekend in December, have a Baileys hot chocolate and put on christmas songs and decorate the tree :xmastree:

    First weekend in December for me, the 3 boys will help me put them up - for about 5 minutes and then get bored and leave me to it.

    Im going to put my xmas decs up the first weekend of December. I have gone a bit mad this year buying lovely new tree decs, lights, a wreath etc etc.

    Put them up whenever you want to. Its your home and if you are in the xmas mood enjoy it.

    The shops have had them up since Septmeber round our way :eek:

    Forgot to mention, but how chrismassy is this. At the junior school, where I am training to be a teacher, we have started preparing for the nativity play. 35 gorgeous little costumes to make. Stars, Angels, Kings, Shepherds etc etc. All the tinsel and glitter you can dream of. Its everywhere and I am in seventh heaven.
