21-09-2011 10:37am#1Just curious as to when people will be putting up their trees. The traditional date is December 6th but I'm sure most Christmas lovers find that a bit late!
And I know there's a certain person on this forum who doesn't take hers down at all!
I usually go for the beginning of December but last year it was the end of November! I think this year it could be mid-November :eek:

One of my siblings' birthday is the 6th of December so we used to have to wait until after her birthday to put up the tree etc.
She doesn't live at home anymore so it's usually whenever my mother can convince my dad to put them up
He has so many sets of lights - loves having them up so just depends each year.
I have lights up in my room all year round.0 -

I thought the traditional date was the 8th??
And if it's November (even 30th) that's too early...0 -

Well I usually take the kids see Santa and to see the lights being turned on in town and then we go home and put ours up. Normally around the 20th November. However, 2/3 years ago they put the tree up early and mine went up on the 9th November!!!:eek::eek::eek:
God I can't wait! Bought the kids Advent Calendars yesterday! 0 -

My mums birthday is the 6th also:)
We used to always wait until the 8th or after it but in recent years I've taken to putting them up on the night of the toyshow!!:D It makes it very Christmassy when you are watching the toyshow and decorating the tree at the same time!
This year though I'll be in London when the toyshow is on:( so it'll have to be a bit later.0 -

My parents would usually make us wait until the 12th - 16th, which now I think is kinda good, because I don't like the idea of getting used to the tree in the living room. I like to be absolutely amazed every time I walk in and see it all lit up
Last year we only got it up on the 22nd!
Moving house, it was the first thing that was unpacked :pac: 0 -
tradition in our house saw it always go up the weekend closest to the 17th then come down on the 7th. i kinda followed through with that when i took over.
however i shall be having practical exams around then i think (although just looking at a calendar now i have become confused!) so i think it will go up earlier. and then it will probably come down earlier too as i shall be back to college and not have time to take it down.
we shall see.
in my house though, as the house is so small, it requires a complete re-decoration job to get the tree a spot. i am now staring round my living room, contemplating where this piece of furniture and that piece will go 0 -

Was looking through all my photos on the computer last nite and came across pics of my tree and decorations.
you know what's great? - forgetting what things you have and seeing them again and smiling! It made me really want to put up my stuff NOW!!!
But I put up a Halloween wreath instead! Come to think of it I might get some small, cheap Halloween decorations and hang them on the wooden tree instead (still up from last Christmas!) 0
