Ah, but your decorations could now be considered 'retro; and very 'in'.

Spend the money on your curtains - you look at them every day.
Christmas decorations are seen for a month at most! :-D :-D

we put decorations up in the first week of december

but im thinking this year i may need some new one as you have all thease nice new fancey ones in the shops

now looking at mine thay are looking a little on the retro side

Well, apparently, my children, partners and grandchildren will be descending on me on 21 - 23 December :-S
Edit: That will be 9 - and me - 10, I have 4 dining chairs, a wicker chair and a stool.
another edit: I have another wicker chair (hidden under 'stuff' in my bedroom, and an antique piano stool - oh, and a camping chair. But a fairly small table.

I suppose I'll have to put the decorations and tree up, sometime before, and provide something other than cottage pie for dinner :-|

I have a theory that the sadder people's lives are, the longer they have the decorations up for. Both before and after Christmas. That is just me though, cynical old b****r that I am.

Are they definitely Christmas lights and not for Divali or another festival?

I agree, way too early to decorate for Christmas yet.

People here in Canada will put the lights up outside early because it's getting cold, but far far too early to turn on or have inside things up.
As a kid I knew it was almost Christmas as about a week before you'd see the lights going up on the local business buildings etc....now it's almost mixing with the back to school stuff!!

1st Sunday of Advent is 2 December this year.
They’re waaaaaay too early!

:-D :-D :-D :-D @ Bob

I agree Joy far too early. Remberance day is tomorrow fgs!


I always put my tree and decs etc around the 2nd weekend in Dec and take them down on the 5th Jan...

Florence in the hebrides

Bob :-D :-D :-D

N O N E of them

Mary isn't even Pregnant yet!

I usually put the Christmas ornament's up the first week in December
and the tree two weeks before due to it been a real tree

1st Dec is early enough, but too early for my taste.

Aarghhh!!!

No less than 6 houses round here
already have their Christmas decs and lights up

Its coming way to early for my liking :-( :-(
