Have you put up you Chrimbo tree yet?
When driving home late last night it was difficult to spot any house without any Christmas decorations/lights already in place. It seems to get earlier each year, with many putting theirs up even before the month of December has started.
For me traditionally I have always waited until after my birthday before the tree goes up so ours won't see the light of day(see what I did there?) until next weekend.
If you haven't put yours up, when will you? And when will yours come down again?:ninja: silent and deadly :ninja:

Ours went up on the first weekend of December, primarily because we're stupidly busy this coming weekend.
Being an artificial tree it's not really a problem having it up this early, but if we had a real one we'd probably wait a week or so.
I certainly would never put a tree up before December had started, and always observe the "12th night" rule about taking it down.
Oh, and we've also got a little pink fibre-optic one this year, which I promise you was Susy's doing....Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

Ours won't go up until next weekend. It's never up much past the first of the year. With 4 big rammy dogs in the house, protecting the tree from damage is exhausting.

We usually wait until about a week or two before Christmas before putting ours up. Since we always get a real one, I find if we put it up an earlier it will just dry out We'll probably put ours up next weekend.
