Default Xmas decorations

I passed a house last night all trimmed up for Xmas,


When do ya put yours up ? ( decorations I mean )

I usually try and leave it as late as possible, its the constant nagging that usually does the trick

I think sometimes lights on a house this time of year can be mis-identified as early Christmas lights but some Hindu's use coloured lights for Diwali on the outside of their houses.

If there are huge Santas and LED Reindeers then its just over enthusiastic cretins.

For the first 2 years I met my GF, she always put hers up on November 1st.

After a bit of moaning and taking the p!ss, last year they went up on December 1st.

Hopefully this year they will go up in December.

They always come down on Boxing Day. Her stating, Christmas is over now.

Christmas is too commercialised nowadays And that is why I hate it now and not just being an old git and getting socks and pants for pressies lol

Peterborough turned their Christmas lights on yesterday (3rd November) and I heard that the Trafford centre turned theirs on back in October.

Can't they even get bloody bonfire night out of the way first?

Oh and we normally put ours up the week before Christmas day and then take down the week after.
