    Sunday 17th here and that's early enough for me. Don't do the outside at all but I do have a tree in both downstairs rooms :D
  • DD's birthday is the 9th so we put ours up then. The deadline day at school is 1st December - and once the decs go up the kids seem to get into a state of high excitement!!
  • The weekend of the 15th when DD2 comes home and my leave starts :D

    We are doing ours tonight, hopefully :) My sisters were up on the 6th of November, way too early IMO! This will be the earliest we have ever put ours up.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • I think you're safe from ridicule from 1st Dec onwards. My Mum took Friday off work to do hers and their house is now like a very classy Santa's grotto! Ours will be going up this weekend and will come down as soon after Christmas as I can get away with - I absolutely love Christmas but, once the day itself is out of the way, I find looking at the tree quite depressing as it's all over for another year. I'll probably take them down on New Year's Day so I can get that lovely 'first day back at school' fresh feeling and get on with my resolutions!
