Is it too early to put the Christmas tree up?

Our young granddaughter and her boyfriend came and put all our decorations and trees up yesterday. It was the day of their choice, we enjoyed having them and they enjoyed working on it together with plenty of refreshments served by us. Yes it is a bit early but we were grateful for the assistance and thoroughly enjoyed the day.

We always put ours up on our wedding anniversary, it was also my dad's birthday, 12th Dec. When we were young we decorated on 10th Dec, my sisters birthday.

We always have a real tree from our local forest (from our village Council) - they cut them to give space and light to others, so it is truly ecological. They them take them back for chipping for heating- so all good. It never comes in therefore until a few days before so it stays fresh.

But you do what you want to do- nothing to do with anyone else. If it cheers you up- go for it.

Must say I was a bit 😱 the other day at seeing dozens of big, real trees (cut, not potted) outside a big Asda.
You do have to wonder what sort of state they’ll be in by Christmas Day. Even the non-drop ones will hardly look or smell exactly fresh.

It's not even December!

Yes, this! Personally, I think the earlier people put up their tree and decorations etc, the more it devalues the whole thing - but hey, each to their own!

I could never put mine up until the middle of December, partly because I would be sick of the sight of it by Christmas and partly because it just doesn’t seem right to me.
I am reading a book set around Christmas and last evening we watched a comedy film called Click and Collect which brightened up a very dreary day.

It's not even December!

I think you should do whatever you want to do. I’m not bothered about Christmas decorations but I do love listening to Christmas music/songs and started this weekend with them.

My family have put their trees up I'm putting ours up mid week it brightens up our house.

Oh, put it up if it cheers you.
Why deny yourself?

If that's what you want to do then go for it surfingsal.
