    It has been a family tradition for a couple of generations that the decs always go up on Dec 1st ( or now with school and work commitments it can be the first weekend of dec). Then they come down on Jan 2, i love christmas and get excited early september:o. However once the new year begins i can't wait to get all the decs down and away.
