When my children were younger I used to make a big thing of Christmas, I always put all the trimmings up on the first weekend in December.
We were always the first with our decorations up.
Now everyone seems to be putting their Christmas decoration up already and it's still November.
Scrimping and saving, ranting and raving. Past retirement age.

Yes, there are a few up on my street already, but part of that is to get the outdoor stuff up before the weather gets extremely cold. It's going to be mild on Tuesday so I may put up some lights then.
I know!
I don't start Christmas until December 15. The tree goes up.
Our next door neighbour had their tree up the first week in November!!! Far too early for me, I'll maybe do ours mid December.
My tree goes up on Christmas Eve.
Our tree will be going up on or about the 16th, that's more than early enough for me!
Normally it would be about the 23rd, but our Grandson is 15 months old now, and getting very excited, so it's going up earlier, for him!
Noticed the first house all lit up outside last night. It just seems to get earlier every year.
First Saturday in December the DP goes and purchases a real tree. He now has to do the decs too on it, though I tweak them ! House in a neighbouring village that does the outside of the house big time lit it at the weekend.
We always do our the first weekend in December. I may have to do it Friday as we are out this weekend. November is too early!
