When Do You All Put Your Christmas Decorations Up?

Just wondering about this because many people already have their decorations up in Sunderland.
It's pretty obvious for some as they have their houses lit up.
I remember a house near the Round Robin that had Christmas lights up two months before Christmas :shock:
Not sure if they do now though.
I tend to put mine up around two weeks before Christmas.
I have the same Christmas tree and streamers which I use year after year.
So, lets know when you start with the Xmas decorations in your place.


I might have the day off today!

Same here, around 2-3 weeks depending upon whether there is time.

We were always brought up with this so we continue with this in our house.

Two weeks before Christmas seems about right, then take them down on New Years Day.

I don't like to put the Christmas decorations up too early, but about two weeks before sounds good.

10-12 days before Christmas for us because too early and I think they cause dust and more cleaning up.

Two weeks before Christmas for us give a day or two. It comes down to time available.

Just a couple of weeks before Christmas. They are in the loft and we delay putting them up for as long as we can.
