All 5 of them go up first weekend in December....can't wait :))

Angela, and Maz - your encouragement has given me some ''oomph'' (think that's the right word!) … :-) Thank you. Nearer the time I shall search the shops.

5 Of them Heather how big is your house ? lol

Joy have a look in the good old Argos book! I've got an Xmas baby too - Jamie was born 21 December - had Xmas at in-laws that year, we drove down there on 24th and there are pix of me sitting like a zombie on Xmas day pmsl Maz. XX

i can say due to my job i am in peoples houses every week, and 2 of my customers two weeks ago put tree and full trimmings up, they both blamed kids but i thought they was raving mad lunatics. my kids twins 15 and son 11 still hound me first week in dec for everything up.

Love Christmas! Have written my cards - just been putting stamps on envelopes. Tree goes up 1st December, and comes down 1st January, cos son's birthday is on 5th, and It seems a bit mean to still be doing Christmas instead of his birthday. Sharon xx

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(((((:

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Son born on 18th so always goes up by then, Down by new years day!!! Caz xxxxxx

My birthday 13th Dec....Twelve days before.

As soon as the boss tells me to ,the missus likes it up three weeks before the day and i can't take it down until twelve nights after.Fred.
