That was what Mark Drakeford said earlier this week and who am I to argue with Drakeford?

My mother will be spinning in her grave. Tree used to go up on the 18th, down before 12th night. She was very superstitious and religious and would be mightily upset by what Christmas has morphed into these days.
Nice styling. Your first two presents are there already!

Dont tell anyone but they're fake, just for show presents! Using up empty boxes and old wrapping paper. I do my shopping the week before xmas [emoji23]

Ours went up last weekend, slightly late for us.

Why does this anger you? During the ‘winter holidays’ (wtf) we should embrace and love each other and also provide clarity on the true meaning of Christmas.
What is the true meaning of Christmas? I thought it was just a hijacking of the Druid’s Winter Solstice.

I normally make the missus and kids wait until the end of the first week of December for the tree but, with everything else this year, Ive relented a bit and we will be doing it this weekend. We all need some cheer right now, and even a bah humbug like me can see its something to look forward to.
We are going up to Wilderness Woods tomorrow afternoon to cut down whichever one takes our fancy, will have a mooch around their Xmas "store", the kids will no doubt have a slice of pizza from the mobile food van - and we'll grab some coffee & cake from Sussex Coffee Trucks (old yellow Citroen van some people may recognize from Cuckfield / Ditchling Beacon over the summer) who will also be there throughout December.
Should be a lovely family afternoon - weve not done this for a few years now, but it will be nice with the kids...even though they are more grown up now!

Doesn't anger me, I just think it's a bit weird that people get so into a made up religion celebrating a stolen holiday, so much so that they can't even wait to put up the tacky decorations and seizure inducing lights.
I get it if you have kids and they buy in to all the excitement etc, but one of my neighbours is a 30yr old with no kids and has gone all out, it's odd.

Erm....tree always remains vertical in a pot ...in the garden....seems daft to lay it on its side
You are on a wind up, right?

if you were to be stupid enough to put up a real tree in November won't it be a needle free mess by the time xmas day comes around?

The most curious thing..
What are people going to do for the rest of December, given that Xmas seems to have happened already?
I would say are you new here?
