my family have buggered off to Florida, my grandad knew full well i was going to put them up while he was away (he went away yesterday), we put all ours up the last weekend of November normally.

He saved me the trouble of getting it down from the loft, so we currently have a bare xmas tree in the front room and half of my bedroom is filled with decorations and exterior lights for me to put up

I never bother, with a tree or decorations......waste of money, if you ask me.
