Well, with the twinkling lights and all that, it makes you feel more Christmasy !
Went down one street last night and i saw about 30 houses all done up.

Who else gets theirs up on the 1st December. My mum leaves it untill about 2 days before. Dont even think she is bothering this year as she will be away.

Gonna be fun this year with 4 cats and 1 tree ! Will have to pin it to the wall again

Going to put up my tree after tea, I may as well get into the christmas spirit too.

We always put our up the 1st weekend in December, but it dosen't feel like Christmas at the moment.

Haven't even bought a present yet, We've usually bought them all by the end of October and usually just need wrapping by now.

Oh well I'll just have to spend, spend, spend this weekend.

Not untill crimbo week for me. Its the time it takes and work interferes so a few days before then its less hasssle.

I like to have Christmas at Christmas, not 4 weeks before. No tree or decorations until about the 23rd and it's all gone by January 2nd.

Probably put mine up in a week or two. But i must admit i have started putting them up at work today and i did feel slightly Christmassy. Feel even more so tomorrow evening when we all go out from work.

I'll stick the tree up about the 16th or 17th, Can't decide wheather to get a real tree are not this year.

Christmas starts here with the begining of Advent, and gets added to bit by bit. It all comes down again by twelfth night.

Doug · 01-12-2005, 20:20

Actually, I’ve just looked round the living room and noticed that no less than seven Christmassy things have appeared.

One other thing if anyone knows of any X Box 360s on sale drop me a line. I’ve rang game already with the obvious result….

I wouldnt bother at all if it wasn't for the children.
Dont know when they will get put up.
Depends when Mick gets them down from the attic.

jimmi5bellies · 01-12-2005, 21:11

All done (well almost). The tree is up, the rope lights around the windows are up. Just got to do my christmas mantle theme around the fire now, but that can wait till morning as im shattered now.
