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

  • I don't put up a large Christmas tree anymore, mostly because it takes a lot of energy that I don't have.

    If I decorate at all, it's usually a teeny-tiny Christmas tree on my desk. It's lilac and has little lights and ornaments on it. 

    It gets put on my desk on the first of November <3

    Confession time. We're lucky enough to have a storage cupboard that's just about tall and wide enough to fit a fully assembled and decorated Christmas tree in it (if I bend the top and a few of the wider branches).

    Admittedly, it took me quite a few years to realise that this was the perfect solution for my own decorating fatigue (I used to dread doing it, at both ends of the process) - but it's made things SO much quicker and easier. And I don't care if it's "cheating"! Innocent
