There's a house near mine that has been lit up with every external decoration you can think of for 3 weeks now. At home the decorations go up 2 weeks before Christmas with no external lighting.

As regards decorations or not much depends on whether you have kids/grandkids

As regards timing of putting up - if you are travelling around a lot during Christmas Eve to New Years Day period and you only put them up week before then it seems hardly worth it as you never reap the benfit of the effort . Entwood I think mentioned Dec 10th as a date which is pretty good timing/balance I think

Bah! Christmas should be restricted by law to 'The Twelve Days'!!   

Actually I quite like Christmas!    It's the 3 month run up to it that I hate!    We seem to get it rammed down our throat from September onwards and I get heartily sick of it!!    When it actually arrives (Christmas Eve) I'm OK, and abit of Christmas cheer helps things along!

That sounds a bit like me, so agree with that......

Christmas doesn't start here until December 20th at the earliest

I can understand the need for some shops to get the decorations up but, as others have said, the build up really boils my urine

Aye and the xmas tv adverts a right pita but at least that can be turned off , about the 20th december is quite early enough for going up the loft

I agree, the week before is soon enough, I don't mind preparing earlier and getting stuff in but it stays out of site until we're ready for christmas

I don't own a tree or any Christmas decorations!

  When you are wed to someone who still thinks they are a child then they go up, like ours, at the start of November and only come down at midnight on the 5 Jan............

If i had my way they would go up on Xmas eve and come down Boxing Day and thats still long. Always said that if i was on my own over Xmas i'd bugger off to the most remote lake i could find and spend the week fishing, no radio, no TV and no phone.
