Yes,they are up from last year. That sounds so awful but I will explain Last year I went all minimalistic and just put gold ribbons above the pictures and where they hung down I pinned the cards,Gold ones only in that room. It looked really good.After the event when all of cards had been put away I left the gold bows in place as I liked them.They have been up ever since.Now what do I do for Christmas decs.?

Absolutely NOT. I generally get the tree and stuff down from the loft in the 2nd week of dec, and put up the decorations a bit at a time. That way you don't get the full monty till Xmas eve, and then after Xmas day, i start taking things away a bit at a time so it doesn't look completely bare on 12th night. nell

My mum bought some white fluffy lights for xmas, but she is very girly like i am, so we have decided to keep them for just normal home decoration and now they are around the door in the living room lol! xx

Have you seen the previews for the new film coming out at Xmas - reminds me of the Coke adverts. Its called Polar Express - I think its Disney, certainly animated - about a boy who travels on the Polar Express train to visit Santa. Tom Hanks is one of the voices - it looks magical, can't wait to see it. Maz. XX

Daniel, my daughter always thinks Christmas starts with the Coca Cola advert. She still gets excited when it 'arrives'. Decorations will go up weekend of 4th / 5th Decemeber as the family will be arriving for a gathering the next weekend. Jacky

Ours just go up when we feel it is the time. No set date. It differ from year to year. I always look out for the Coca-Cola adverts with the wagon and all the lights. One of my earliest christmas memories that ad is, along with the Toys-R-Us one.
