Have you put up you Chrimbo tree yet?

[CarlMetro]

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?

Yup. Stuck our two trees up on the 1 December.

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....

Ours is already up We have a nice 4 foot tall real tree in a pot Doesn't have any decorations at the moment and actually looks nice like that! Went up last weekend. Oh crap I posted as Caroline - Daniel

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.

Ours was SUPPOSED to go up on the 1st...but i got lazy lol. we have a fake tree due to all the hayfever/asthma sufferers in the house. Havent put the outside lights up though..got some mighty fine icicle lights that flash to stick on the house. hOoray for chrissy!!

2 trees and various other stuff up on the 1st, I have yet to venture outside to put up the outside lights yet.

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.

Outdoor lights have been up for a couple of weeks now.

Do you go and cut it down yourself?
