Christmas Trees - Is it chavy to put them up too soon?

[Skaville]

I'm looking to settle an argument. I been having a chat with a couple of friends who already have their Christmas trees up. I think this is a definite chav crime - they should be up for, two weeks max (unles you have have kids maybe, which they don't).

So, is it chav, or perfectly okay?

 

[Bluejuice]

Chav

 

[Hiney]

Perfectly OK from early December IMHO

Especially if you have kids - plus, get all the f***-off lights on the outside of the house

We have put ours up this weekend, but that is because we have a small baby who loves the lights flashing and stuff. HE sits there staring at the lights, its great.

Wouldnt say it was chav but its still a bit early for that. Our decorations will probably go up this weekend.

what with me being ever so slightly posh (gold membership at the cricket), I shall not be decking the halls with boughs of holly until the 18th, I shall then tra-la-la-la laa like nobodies business until the 3rd and then revert to my more sober disposition

I hope this helps

We always put ours up on Dec 1st...sort of a tradition, although I hav'nt helped for the best part of 10 years

Did mine Sunday.....the earlier the tree/lights are up, the earlier you can bribe the nipper that Santa wont come unless you behave...

we haven't yet as Tedebear Mansion is in a state of renovation - if we get a kitchen for christmas that will be good enough (and lucky)!!

We don't have ours up till the week before Christmas. 'Tis a magical day, though.

 

[Lammy]

I'll have my tree up this Friday!! Can't wait!

I also have some lights to bling up the front of the house but I don't have a long ladder! Doh!

 

[Pavilionaire]

Isn't the protocol to put up decorations 12 days before Christmas and take them down 12 days after Christmas, i.e. 13th Dec - 6th Jan?

I think that once you're in December putting up decorations is fine. I just wish this was the case with retailers, who are the real scum here - late October? WTF...

 

[Hampden Park]

mine have been up for ages (4 weeks) some of my near neighbours have had theirs up since october 1st

 

[Long Saulty Seagull]

Christmas Decorations. What a waste of time and money.

BAH.....HUMBUG.

 

[Brovion]

To have them up before December hits the 'teens his totally, irredeemably, monstrously chav. The only thing worse is having a plastic Santa on your roof.

I take it you've all heard about the dyslexic devil-worshipper? Sold his soul to Santa?

[Marc]

DAMN I like Pimms too



Back to thread topic, my office is FULL of tack I bought from the £1 shop....I've even got a mini Xmas tree with lights....that dont work (tried rigging them up to two 9v batteries and it got abit hot! ) Also bought a Light-Up snowman...which upon getting to the office to open up turned out to be a CAR light of somekind with cigarette attachment....its now in my car!

 

[Ding Dong !]

Going up this coming friday for the kids !!!!

 

[clapham_gull]

Fine as long as its a real tree and not made from plastic.
