Guest alex Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Mentioned before but my personal fav are the ones on Longbenton Estate who never take their external Xmas decs down. Made even funnier by them not even working for the last 3 years. The decs, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Never, never before December! One of my pet hates, despite the fact it's doing me no harm whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Wor lass wants them up two weeks before but I'm insisting on it being the weekend before. Despite my not actually being involved in the process. Or having any real say in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 These bell-ends that put them up in early Novemeber and take them down late January spend a quarter of the year celebrating christmas. Just ruining what should be something special for the kids tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 1st December religeously. Family expedition to Red Fox nursery to choose tree. In years gone by we, along with most in our cul de sac, have overdone it with the ouitside lights. These days we only have a few outside lights. Having just done all the house up we are probably going to be quite minimalistic inside by our standards. Decorations usually come down 2nd Jan. Cant believe people dont want to milk the festivities for all their worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34394 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 People over the street have had their tree up a good week now at least. Mine will go up either the 11th or the 18th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 About the week/10days before for the kids. No outside lights. Real tree. All decorations down by the 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Don't bother with any at home as we've got a small flat so there's nee space, plus I'm a scrooge. Reluctantly I'm agreeing to my work team's tree going up this Friday as it's dress down and also it's our Christmas do on Saturday night so it'll get us in the mood. It'll come down on Christmas Eve before we go to the pub so we don't have to mess on in the New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I resent Christmas being pushed big style in October/November but once Dec 1st gets here I'll be as Christmassy as you want! We'll be putting the work tree up on Monday I reckon and the house one probably the week after..my in-laws usually buy us a little real one when they get there's.

When I was in retail we used to have all the xmas decs etc up in the shops in October. I also used to film the xmas ads in July / August which used to be a good laugh. Those days though I was sick to death of it when it finally arrived, get Xmas day off then back in for the Boxing Day sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentAxeman 82 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 12th December for us. Dont know why, just always has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay 8 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 well after reading this thread I'll think about putting them up soon. Well the little fake tree we had the last couple of years in the flat. Just about to wrap up everyone's presents now so will stick them under that. Don't have any lights either. I'd have to get up in the middle of the night to check I'd switched them off If I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
