Ours will be up on 1st Dec. They will be down again before the New Year, sick of the sight of them by then :)

My outdoor lights are already up. But that's because I never took them down. I spent two frigid days on a ladder last year; so now that the sob's are up they can damn well stay up ... but I won't turn them on until my birthday (which is Dec. 1, for all those who wish to send expensive gifts):dancedog:

I love Christmas when it actually arrives but I don't want to know about it before December.

Before I had children I would put the tree up round about Dec 20th.....now I cave in to pressure and put it up round about Dec 12th.....I can't do it any sooner, I'd go mad!

I take it down on New Year's Day. :)

I love Christmas too but only in its place. Our decorations go up at the beginning of advent and come down by twelfth night.

We haven't even had Hallowe'en and bonfire night yet - there'll be Easter eggs in the shops soon!

Halloween is one that I absolutely loathe. :mad:

I shut my curtains at 4.30pm on the 31st Oct, the doorbell rings incessantly but I never answer it.

Hate Halloween.....go away!

You're not the only one! We seem to import everything that the Americans do over the last decade or so. Why on earth should I give money or sweets to someone who comes to my door wearing some sort of outfit, be it good or not...then be called a misery for not participating.
Then it's "penny for the guy" ....often non existent...
Then not long after that we have the Carol singers..
I will throw money in a bucket at an organised caroling event, if i think they are good, but they are totally ignored when they come to the door.

The other American thing that gets my goat is the Prom evenings these days.
My older kids didn't go through any of that, but the younger boys had it. £25 quid for a meal, new suits..... only got out of the limo expense because they were doing "Pop Idol" at the Town Hall the same evening, so had to be rushed to the Dunk in a taxi afterwards.

I like Hallowe'en because we bring out our lifesize witch and decorate the house in spooky fashion.

Not to mention the dreaded baby showers that have crept in recently. :mad:

We'll have to disagree on that one. For me there is nothing about going round to folk's houses, frightening the life out of them and begging for money and sweets that comes under the banner of fun.

You are right when you say that fun can be had without drugs and alcohol though....on halloween when the curtains are drawn and we're pretending we're not in me and the kids will be playing matching pairs or snakes and ladders. Hey, we know how to enjoy ourselves. ;):D
