The Xmas Decorations Are Going Up Tonight
 

Well, with the twinkling lights and all that, it makes you feel more Christmasy !
Went down one street last night and i saw about 30 houses all done up.

Who else gets theirs up on the 1st December. My mum leaves it untill about 2 days before. Dont even think she is bothering this year as she will be away.

Gonna be fun this year with 4 cats and 1 tree ! Will have to pin it to the wall again :D

Going to put up my tree after tea, I may as well get into the christmas spirit too.

Re: The Xmas Decorations Are Going Up Tonight
 

We always put our up the 1st weekend in December, but it dosen't feel like Christmas at the moment.

Haven't even bought a present yet, We've usually bought them all by the end of October and usually just need wrapping by now.

Oh well I'll just have to spend, spend, spend this weekend.

Re: The Xmas Decorations Are Going Up Tonight
 

Not untill crimbo week for me. Its the time it takes and work interferes so a few days before then its less hasssle.

Re: The Xmas Decorations Are Going Up Tonight
 

I like to have Christmas at Christmas, not 4 weeks before. No tree or decorations until about the 23rd and it's all gone by January 2nd.

Re: The Xmas Decorations Are Going Up Tonight
 

Probably put mine up in a week or two. But i must admit i have started putting them up at work today and i did feel slightly Christmassy. Feel even more so tomorrow evening when we all go out from work.

Re: The Xmas Decorations Are Going Up Tonight

Actually, I’ve just looked round the living room and noticed that no less than seven Christmassy things have appeared.

One other thing if anyone knows of any X Box 360s on sale drop me a line. I’ve rang game already with the obvious result….

I wouldnt bother at all if it wasn't for the children.
Dont know when they will get put up.
Depends when Mick gets them down from the attic.

Re: The Xmas Decorations Are Going Up Tonight
 

All done (well almost). The tree is up, the rope lights around the windows are up. Just got to do my christmas mantle theme around the fire now, but that can wait till morning as im shattered now.

Re: The Xmas Decorations Are Going Up Tonight
 

I have made the stupid mistake of wanting to decorate before I put the Christmas decs up! Wish I hadn't now! If I ever have such a stupid idea again I want someone to slap some sense into me!

Re: The Xmas Decorations Are Going Up Tonight
 

Has anyone got any suggestions for ceiling decorations, I'm not a fan of the foils and balloons on the ceiling look. I like the tradional Christmas colours too, greens, reds and golds. I'd like something similar to what they have up in Woolworths but on a smaller scale obviously. I'd be grateful for any suggestions please :)

Re: The Xmas Decorations Are Going Up Tonight
 

Paperchains?
You could get the children to make them. Most art shops still sell the packs of gummed paper strips, and you could but the colours you like.

You could even use them after Christmas to pretend to Mthead that you were tied to the kitchen sink, knowing you could break out easliy and get back to being a lady of leisure.;)
