How pretty! I love Christmas and our decorations go up December 1st. My nan would never let them go up until twelve days before the day which was a torturous wait as a child! Andy has though, put the Christmas storage crates at the bottom of a cupboard with oodles of boxes on top of them, so that's going to be Saturday's task! xx
I just love your spirit! I'll bring in the greens this weekend.I usually wait till after the first of December because I love fresh, still smelling sweet and pungent from outdoors and don't want it all to dry out before the week of Christmas. Usually I have to bring in fresh reserves before Christmas but it's worth the hassle ....my family laughs that if I could bring the forest inside I would:) I disagree.....I'd bring only the stars:) hope it's a beautiful season for you! -Jennifer
I don't like the tree up too early, week before is OK for me, despite the kids nagging me! Never wait till twelfth night either to take it down. Bah humbug! But once it's up, it's the BEST tree, if I say so myself! Apart from yours, of course! xxxxx
Generally it's about 2 weeks or so before the day that the decorations and tree go up. But if you're interested, follow this link to a post I wrote a few years back about the time we very nearly lost Christmas altogether...
Your tree looks lovely Emma! In Holland we celebrate Sinterklaas first on the 5th of December. The day after that, I will put up our tree. Can't wait :-)!
It looks gorgeous and so warm. For years i used to put the tree and the decorations up on xmas eve it made it more exciting for the boys but this year i will put it up in 2 weeks time after the wedding it will be something nice to do and focus on after. dee x

ReplyDeleteours go up as late as poss...and then I fall in love with them all over again and pack them away at the very last stroke of 12th night!
ReplyDeleteWhen school finishes, this year on Dec 22nd, and down on 12th night. I treat the tree to something new every year.
