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 tend to not do Christmas decorations until after the 8th of December and the most important part of my Christmas set up is the Crib (Nativity Scene) - having worked in supermarket retailing for 30 years, I don’t focus on the over-commercialised aspect of the Christmas period and instead focus on the real reason for the season given my Catholic faith, namely that of Christ’s Birth - the religious aspects of the Christmas season are hugely important to me

    Thank you so much for sharing!

    Full disclosure: I felt concerned about starting this thread because I really didn't want to offend or upset anyone (including you specifically) by talking about the season in what might seem to be an inappropriate or frivolous way. I hope you don't mind how I've approached it.
