when do you put up your decorations?

Having just noticed that someone at the bottom of the road has put up their decorations, I was wondering when everyone puts theirs up?

Mid December for us, and I take them down just after boxing day.

Although I love having them up and the presents underneath, I can't stand having them up for too long so tend to put them up mid December and take them down around 3rd/4th January and then have time to give the house a right good clean before going back to work.

Its mine and my daughters Birthdays in early December so they always go up after that.

I am mid December too. There are plenty people got them up already around here though. I always take them down after the New Year celebrations. Oh thump ! then the January blues hit me sob sob !

Early December for us. dd will be 20 months tho so not entirely sure how long the tree will remain decorated

Up 12 days before down 12 days after.

Ours usually go up on the 17th. It's my sisters birthday and its a bit of a tradition, that the decs go up on her birthday. Usually come down after the 2nd as it's my OH birthday and he likes them up for that.

I used to find we only had half a tree decorated after the first few days - the top half!
