Sheltieman Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Argh! The neighbours have put up there decorations already - so the moaning starts in my house - " when can we get our Tree, - when can we put up our tree" i am not a bah humbug - but is the 2nd of December not a tad to early - my tree is still in the shop. Have you got yours? And when are you putting it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CyprusPluto Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 You put it up at 8am on the 25th and take it down at 8pm on the 25th - Baa Humbug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crofter-amy Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 When I was a bairn we put ours up on xmas eve and took it down the 12th night. Would love to keep that going but I fear the OH will insite a mutiny among the bairns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I wouldn't know, never put up a Christmas tree in my life, never had a Christmas tree in my life, never missed it. It keeps life simpler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tojo Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Ours is up !! As soon as the advent calanders come out, the tree goes up ... saves the nagging. The decorations gradually filter through as the month goes on. However, I must also admit we are one of the first to take it all down.

Sheltieman Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 think i will stick to next weekend - kids seems to have got the message. i do like the idea of 12th to the 6th though - might just adopt this one too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
