when are you putting your xmas decs up?

I have a confession - I don't usually think about Crimbo until after my birthday but this year I was feeling festive and actually put the thing up on Wednesday 28th! I did it early too because I won't be able to bend or lift anything when I come out of hospital next week.

I plan on doing it tonight... but DS2 has been... well, he painted a window with poo, bit his brother, ate some glitter (would have been interesting if he did that before painting the window) and generally been a pain in the bottom.

I'm a meanie because i put it up when kids are in bed, far too stressful doing it with them... :eek:

:xmastree:We put our tree up today, did the celing decorations and got the tinsel and lights on the tree when my 18 month old was napping, she was full of wonder when she came downstairs and kept pointing at the tree, I said are you looking at the beautiful star on the tree? Where is the beautiful star? thinking she would point to the huge sparkly one at the top of the tree and instead she went and pointed to the little yellow one I crocheted her and put in her advent calendar :happyhear
