  • i already did this, but i think it was too early
  • Had ours up since mid November :o - bought loads of lights last year from B&Q during the Xmas sales, so thought the kids could enjoy the light displays festooned onto the tree together with the countless baubles. Just keeping pace with the shops, which also seem to decorate from mid Nov ;) and also before you know it, it's time to pack it all away and return to a comparably dreary dull room.
  • i am planning to do it in 2 weeks ;)
  • we are putting the x-mas decoration next week, can't wait

    Will buy tree w/c 17th (always funny watching me ram an 8ft monster into my Honda Civic :D) and it'll go up that week.

    Really looking forward to the thread with pics of everyone's trees in it - last year's was inspiring and lovely

  • Just bought the tree and will start decorating it tonight. I buy a fresh tree so like to get my moneysworth out of it.
