When are you planning on putting up decorations?

We usually decorate mid December but this year will do it around the first as it has been such a rubbish year. Let us all spread some cheer

It always used to be mid December, but this year it will be December 1st. Christmas will be different, there’s no doubt about it, the winter will be long and dark. To me the lights will signify how things used to be, and hopefully how they will be again.

Not before mid-December! (As a teacher I always used to wait until the school term had finished.) IMO it seems sad to start now - I don't know how small children will understand this - surely a long wait for Christmas will just drag on for them, and this will reduce the fun?

There are several houses around town that are lit up like Blackpool Illuminations already.
I am of the Keep Christmas in December persuasion.
As we are moving house I'll take the chance to cull my decorations.

I used to put them up the weekend before Christmas and take them dwon January 2nd. That was when I was working and had two children. Now I'm retired I like to put them up a bit earlier, maybe first Sunday in December. I'll still take them down on second of January though.

And Yes please to mince pies queengran. It’s never too early for those!

Front of house lights - whenever DH does them (that’s his job).
Indoor ones ( the tree is my job) will be done on the nearest Saturday to Christmas Day. ?

no family this year- so no decorations. No Christmas either- but a nice roast with all the trimmings on the day.

Christmas Eve, as usual.

Take them down on Twelfth Night.

Saw a house this afternoon with outdoor fairy lights up and on. Must say it looked very cheerful.

However ours will probably go up mid December.

Think many will do their outside ones earlier than usual, to brighten these dark times and dark nights.

December 1st. It was always the first Sunday in December but now Mr. S. has retired it's the 1st.

Christmas Eve as usual but I wont do much as it’s only me that will see them.

I don’t like having them up too early but each to their own. Ours usually go up the week before Christmas Day, not sure if we’ll bother this year. The house is in disarray as we’re having some work done which won’t be finished until next year. We took the opportunity to have a massive declutter and there’s loads of stuff waiting to go to the recycling centre and the charity collection point but we’re still under local lockdown so that’s on hold. We’ll still enjoy Christmas together with or without the tree ?
