when do you put yours up??

out walking the dogs this last week i have noticed a fair few places with Christmas lights on the house and one even had a tree up.

seems a bit early to me
 
This year it will be the weekend of the 8th December.

Walking the dogs last night we saw one house with a tree up but no one else had anything, thankfully. Decorations in November are just too soon.
 
Usually hold the Mrs back until the day after her birthday (26th November). She's overly keen this year, so I've conceded to 25th November with it being a Saturday and her wanting to involve the kids. Far too early in my book but then I'm a bit of a scrooge. I enjoy the giving and the food/drink, but cards/decorations/etc are all a load of money making tripe for the big corporates.
 
Not until after my son's birthday which is the 6th December. Even that feels early to me. As a kid it was always the week before Xmas which seemed about right.
 
Saw a guy buying a tree in bandq on sunday. In central heating, it will be dead long before Christmas.

Me, last weekend before Christmas normally.

I bet most trees were cut months ago though.
 
Never if I can get away with it!

A few years ago Xmas was spent at my sons, he said he did not have any decorations so I took all mine to his house. Sadly;) I forgot to bring them home again.
 
I have no say in the matter and just stay out of it.

Preferably it will all happen while I'm on a golf course somewhere and I'll simply return home to see it all up.
 
First weekend in December usually.

No too early, not too late.

Seeing them put up early doesn’t irritate me but due to birthdays we don’t do ours until Dec.
 
Started putting the outside lights up today and will do some more tomorrow. But that's only because I'm going back offshore for a few weeks from Wednesday so won't be here at the beginning of December to put them up as I normally do on the first weekend of December.
 
whats really amusing is the people who had them up last week and have a tree up already only took last years down a couple of months ago:rofl:
 
Dec 13th 12 days before and come down 6th on 12th night. Women near me has full house up and that does include all the external blow ups etc on last weekend of OCTOBER
