Lovely Frenchgalinspain 🎄
Not yet, the DD and DGC will do the honours this year, we hope!

Ps the dog looks very cosy on his cushion 🙂

definitely not.

Absolutely spectacular!

I have put up the tree in the hall and the wreath on the gate (door is glass). Hopefully my husband will put up the outside tree tomorrow - depends on the weather. I then have to tackle the living room and stairs. It’s not that I put up vast quantities of decorations, just that my motivation is somewhat lacking!

Not until the weekend before 25, then they will be fresh and sparkly and we will not be tired of them by Twelfth Night.

My Mum would not let us put them up before Christmas Eve after cleaning the house from top to bottom. But each to his own!

Nope, not till the week before Christmas.

Every other house in the street is covered in lights inside and out - we're the black hole of Calcutta 😄 I guess not so many people are worried about their bills after all.

Nothing doing here till the 15th/16th, but enjoy, enjoy you early starters.

That looks lovely .
Our middle daughter has her birthday on 11 th December. When she was a child we never put up Christmas decorations before that. The tradition is s held as she is most often at our home in her birthday. Actually I wouldn’t put them up much earlier anyway. 3 weeks is quite long enough.

Wow that’s spectacular! Do you live in a stately home? Is that you Camilla?😁
No, haven’t had time yet but will try and put some Christmassy bits up next weekend.
