Last night I saw the first house of the year to have it's decorations up

It's only mid November FFS, anybody else have them up or seen them up yet ?

house across the way from us had them up for about 2 weeks ... always do.. they look after (foster) kids so i think they try to make it a special magical time for them

Far to early.

And those people that have a million lights up outside the home? Tacky or what.

Start of december is still far to early. Mid December yes. Peple start putting them up earlier every year because the shops put theirs up in July

If they get pleasure out of it I see nothing to complain about. It does underline the festival and it cheers the place up.

Agreed

Apart from making the place look untidy and using up goodness knows how much electricity?

Wonder what people would say if Diwali or Ramadan got the same level of visibility for such an extended period around the actual (in this case Day) event?

My pal at the Garden Centre told me that trees were arriving next week

I usually leave it too late.........

next door neighbour usually puts hers up within the first few days of November.... and this year we have to contend with her back garden being full of lights strung up like a washing line !!!!!

the guy over the way put his up a couple of days ago... but doesn't go to the extreme of lights outside... well not yet anyway.

might not even bother putting mine up at all this year... but if i do.. it'll be a couple of days before xmas, and they'll be back down again on the 2nd January !!!!

They were up & lit on some of the streetlights in Woking last night - not sure if they were only testing them.

The tree's up in the town centre too - how long before it gets climbed or pulled over?
