Default When are you putting the Xmas tree up?

As above. Bought Candy Canes and Chocolate Santas thismorning and i'm just worried they won't last if they aren't stuck on a tree soon!

In the Office we actually never took ours down! Just removed the baubles, tinsel and lights .... really - it has sat there all year.

At home, tomorrow is the day if I can talk someone into decorating it!

We put decorations up when time permits and we feel like it! But we always do put them up though.

I somehow feel the need to defend why I'm putting the tree up today - we're not about next weekend, and in our house anyway, the tree etc is for our two kids. We're probably in our last year where the eldest still believes in Father Christmas (she's 9) and in a time where society seems to rob a child of their innocence all too quickly, I want to enjoy this while I can (those of you with kids will hopefully appreciate this)

Besides, it keeps Wifey busy for the afternoon while I'm on Forza 3

Me and El Capitano are putting up our decorations today after greasy bacon sarnies (thats not code word, I wants greasy bacon).

I'm getting about 2 months back pay for my working tax credit paid on wednesday 9th so we're gonna have a decent christmas this year without spending a fortune (thoughtful interesting gifts).
