My facebook feed was flooded this weekend gone by Christmas tree pictures! Don't people realise it's November, seems a Chav thing to do ino, putting it up middle of November! We always put ours up around the middle weekend in December and take it down on the twelfth night.

Putting it up this weekend, I do it the weekend closest to the 1st Dec. Plus I'm doing the giftwrap marathon this weekend as well and I want it up for that, for maximum Christmas. Comes down just before or after NYE, depending when I'm there to do it.


I'll only actually be seeing it for a couple of weeks really because I'm going back home for Christmas halfway through December.

I think the 1st of December or if not the first week of December at any point is ideal and it's when I do ours.


I personally can't understand the point of putting your tree up on Christmas Eve - Isn't all almost over by then? Each to their own though and I can appreciate that different people make different things work for them.


I like to enjoy my tree through, a full month of it and then it comes down on the 2nd of January.

Watch out for the tree police.

My tree's up! Seems I'm unusual here but I have noticed other people's tree's up when I've been driving. Mine always goes up around the 18th November. There's no way I could wait any longer. I like it to be up when I'm doing the Christmas shopping and watching Christmas films.

I take it down before a lot of people do, on the 3rd Jan.

Yes I love sitting in the dark and enjoying the lights on the tree etc - may as well make the most of it!

Mine go up 28th November. Its a tradition my grandparents started almost 38 years ago, the day I was born. My Nana loved Christmas (I think she honestly believed she was Mrs Claus!).

We lost them both almost 20 years ago, but all of her children and grandchildren carry on her tradition every year.

I was their 1st grandchild, and I am honored to have the whole family continue to put their tree up on my birthday, in memory of my amazing grandparents.

Mine will go up middle of december and normally comes down again on boxing day evening....no-one visits again until new year and refuse to start the new year with any decorations still up :rotfl:

Have been known to put it up on xmas eve morning before guests arrive and take it down boxing day evening when everyone's gone home, while drinking a large glass of whiskey :beer:
