When will you be putting your Christmas decorations up?

We probably won't be bothering this Christmas as we aren't going to be home

2 Saturdays beforeChristmas for us, early enough to create a holiday atmosphere and cheer the place up a bit, without getting sick looking at them!

Probably 5th December this year since it's the first Saturday of the month.

I'll probably do them first weekend in December this year. I like them to be up from the start of December but no earlier (because Christmas lasts the whole month of course), but then I have to take them down just before NYE because if they're still there when it's all over and I'm going back to work that's just depressing.

Will probably put the fairy lights up on the 25th of November.

It'll brighten the place up on the dark, cold evenings :xmastree:

Probably for me, the weekend before Christmas.

Haven't put any up since 2002. Proper money saving.

Even if circumstances make it necessary to put up the Christmas tree earlier in Advent, we can still maintain some sense of the Advent season by not lighting the lights until Christmas Eve, or by putting out our most precious decorations (and perhaps the star for the top of the tree) only on Christmas Eve. Such practices increase the sense of expectation, especially among young children, and make Christmas Day all the more joyful.
