When I was a child it was put up after we had gone to bed on Christmas Eve so it was the first thing you saw when you came down on Christmas morning. It was so magical!! Came down January 6th. These days mine goes up Sunday before Christmas and down January 6th. Linda x

when I was a kid it use to always go up on my birthday the 1st of dec-cos that' s when you opened your advent calender. Now we do it about a week before, being a real tree we want it as long a spossible. Esp for laddo's birthday on christmas day. catherine xx

Hello Hayley ~~~~~~~~~~~~ yep first weekend in December, and daughter makes sure it does (even at 27 years old). Then again now she has her own place so she can look after her own and leave me alone. Just for spite might not put it up til Dec. 24th. lolol.

We will start about 16/17th,It's a big family thing in our house christmas music and roast chesnuts. Only problem is it will take the whole of the weekend. 5 tress in all !!!!!!!!!!! 6ft in the lounge, 4ft in dining room, 5ft in hall (may change this to a 4ft) both girls have a 3ft each in their bedrooms

Ours goes up on 27th Nov sons Birthday..... Wish I could have it all year round..... just love the lights.. Pat

I used to really like Xmas. Really takes a lot of effort to get in the mood these days Caz

Christmas Eve and its back down on New Years day. Real barhumbug

to be honest there is not much room in our house for a tree. We only have a small artificial one. I would love to have a house one day where I can have a tree in the hall or entrance. THink that makes the house look so welcoming at that time of year.

Don't put up decorations or have a tree. I am not a lover of Christmas and if I am perfectly honest, I just can't be bothered. I do however, put up the Christmas cards I receive, as not to would be an insult to those who have sent them.

Two weeks before Christmas down on the 5th January as it's bad luck to have it up on Epithany.

2 weeks before xmas, we have an 8ft real tree, and it takes hours to decorate, but once its done it looks so magical. Shirley Ann.

me too hayley will be put up 1st december..best part of christmas as we all put up the decs and tree in our family and whack the christmas cd on and have a drink also.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(((((:
