Our sons birthday is 15th December, we have always put the decorations up then.
OH always puts lights on a huge tree in the front garden, but he had a bad fall off a ladder this summer, so though he is insisting he will do the tree as normal again this year, I am dreading it. I will probably be at the base of the ladder trying to help, and no doubt if he falls again, it'll be me ending up in hospital this time.

A few days before Christmas is a good time to put them up imo.
Mind you, we always leave ours up till 12th night....as is tradition. I know some put theirs up in November, and take them down on Boxing day.

Christmas presents wrapped.
Not to brag, but I am pretty artistic and creative, so how come I cannot wrap presents nicely?
I even struggle with square boxes. just not capable of getting neat finishes.
(sorry, that's the only Christmas smiley I could find)
That's actually a blessing Syl.
Cause I am good at wrapping presents and every year I get loads dumped on me.
I had six folks presents one year plus my own!!

Four years on the trot now I haven't won a wee prize or a hat.

You have to get prepared soon Madders, you don't want to have a nervous breakdown on Christmas Eve when you haven't bought anything.
