Never before the first Sunday in Advent, which this year is November 26th. And down by Twelfth Night.

Taking the grandkids up to croydon this weekend to see the towns decorations and big light switch on , dunno why i bother last years was a bit of a disappointment .
The division in our home is:
Three want them up at the beginning of December, until a few days into January.
One would opt for Xmas Eve, then down on say 30th Dec. Humbug.
The majority win with, latterly going up on the first Saturday in Dec.
We watched A Christmas Carol last night!

I wouldn't, but Mrs Loz will insist on putting them up on the 10 The and down on the 12th night.

It was a bit nippy last night, but I still don't see the need until 1st December. No need to put it on until it's necessary.

Just taken ours down!
Well, in a way. Lights along gutter stayed up as the ladder was too hard to get to. They fell down last week.

Thanks for the warning, I will never listen to that radio station.
Maccas Simply having a wonderful Christmas time, is the worst Christmas song ever, absolute garbage, how long would it take to teach kids to sing" Ding Dong, Ding Dong" and the ex Beatle reckons they practise all year long. Either very thick kids, or hes lying,

Have to agree with this. Two weeks before is about the right time for the decs to go up.
I was amazed earlier this year, in mid August, when I walked into a card shop and they had all the Xmas cards on display !!
My son's birthday is 17/12 so we've generally tried to wait until after that to put the decorations up.
Having said that, he's not that bothered about Christmas anyway and is more excited about Brighton results, the new Star Wars film and The Ashes as he's been brought up correctly.
I love having a load of lights / decorations up but doing it before the start of December is just plain wrong.

Ours going up this weekend, I’d say there are about half a dozen on our road with lights already up outside.
Says something about the Dorset air.

well f*ck a duck!
Got a few up already in my office at work - and the odd bout of Christmas songs blasted out.
This is not because i'm a big Christmas fan - they won't be going up in my house until around 2 weeks prior to the big day.
At work, if the staff are b*tching and moaning about xmas decs and songs in November (which most do) - it means they're not b*tching and moaning about each other, or their workload.
This makes my life a whole lot easier, and provides much amusement!

Far too early, I wouldn't dream of putting up decorations in November.
I did see a house on Friday evening on the A259 in Newhaven with a Christmas tree with lights in the widow.
When I was a kid my parents put the tree and decorations up on the 15th of December.
I'm sure it's ' look at me ' types that put their decorations up this early, I saw many houses with Halloween decorations up at least a week before October 31st.
