I don't post much but I have to say you really are an irritating ****
Happy 'winter holiday' to you too. Do you have kids ? Not sure how my artificial tree, made from recycled stuff according to the box, is bad for the environment but do carry on..........
A week/ 10 days before Christmas for us, taken down on twelfth night

Colleague of mine has put hers up already. Says it's because the stepson is coming to stay next weekend. I'm pretty sure he will be over to stay again before Christmas, but nonetheless, they seem to feel it's the thing to do.
Me, I bloody love Christmas & all that goes with it, but even I won't put one up until December. November always drags for me because I'm looking forward to putting mine up
Incidentally, I'm even more excited about it this year because, having just moved house, this will be the first time I've ever got a real tree (but not until DECEMBER). Anybody care to advise me on a good place to buy a Christmas tree? Somebody did say avoid the garden centres & go for one of the tree farms dotted around the place. Trouble is, I don't know any. I live in Mid Sussex, for what it's worth, so all sensible suggestions gratefully welcomed

How does 12 days after Christmas work out as the 27th?
Because the old tradition was twelve after, yet, we are like a lot of people who look to take the decks and tree down as soon as Christmas has finished...hence my dates .

My birthday is a week before Christmas, and as a kid, I always insisted to my folks that it should be up by then, though I seem to recall it being a close run thing at times. Pretty sure they put it up earlier than that these days. But still not NOVEMBER.

As much as I love getting my tree up in good time for the Winter festivities there is NOTHING more depressing than seeing the tree still up as you trounce back to work depressed at the beginning of January. For that reason my tree will be down by 3rd.

I see Scotland Yard have put their tree up already.
As for mine, time is going fast, and as it is only 2 Leeds managers until Christmas I am starting to look around with a view to buying one, but my erection will not happen until at least a week before Xmas day.
Philosophically, I agree. In practice however, with an 8 year old and a missus who is already planning when to watch "It's a Wonderful Life" and all the other old guff that comes out, I have no choice but to tolerate the artificial tree going up 1st December. I used to insist on a real tree, but to keep it alive during the year in the garden and reusing it - the last one saw 4 uses before even I felt it looked a bit ropey (then the artificial one came in).
I can't be doing with the religious mumbo jumbo though. She goes for advent candles and other wastes of money like advent calendars. I'm all for a slap up meal and merry making in the depths of winter and all, but don't let's get sidetracked with all that malarky. Just an excuse for "Capitalism" to try to get us to empty our pockets on a load of old tat, nowadays.

Not having one this year, or decorations, not happening.
As we are off to Barcelona for Christmas and they are providing one in the AirB&B, sorted...

New Years day evening it comes down for us, but that's a good 6 weeks use we've got out of it, anything after the 1st January is overkill.
