When do you put up your Christmas tree?

Bunny

I know, I know - it's still September (although only just)!

If you're among those of us who celebrate Christmas - or who otherwise enjoy the seasonal decorations and festivities - when do you prefer to put your tree up?

In my case, I've been stealthily bringing the date forward over each of the last few years. I love the twinkling tree lights, sitting to the side of my view in the living room each evening. And I find it generally helps to lift my mood Smile

I wondered whether anyone else here might also be in the habit of banking extra seasonal pleasure by doing the same? Santa

  • Mine go up on the 1st December and come down on the 6th Jan (modern commercialism combined with the 12 days of Christmas). When I was a kid, I'd make a Christmas countdown calendar that started on 1stJoy September. I have always loved Christmas for personal reasons. I wish that the shops waited until November, though. I would often leave up a small sneaky bit of tinsel for the entire year, but grew Joyout of that in my 30s Joy - though I did do that again a few years ago.

    I love your childhood Christmas countdown calendar! The thought of Christmas approaching always ignites a tiny spark inside me, usually starting in September.

    Very nice! After some campaigning, I now get away with having fairy lights wrapped around the banisters all year round! And above my computer desk Blush
