Who's putting their xmas tree up this weekend?

Sounds like fun

We always take our decos down on the 1st as its youngests ones birthday and we want it to be her birthday not a hangover from Christmas.

My youngest's birthday is 24th. He always thought it was quite cool that the house was all decorated for his birthday. Just as well really!

Our tree will be sourced next Saturday, we've been getting our trees from the same place for the last 20 years. The its off into Manchester for the Christmas markets, signalling the start of the festive season at Pogle acres.

I have a small metal one and thats it but we go to the inlaws who put one up on Christmas Eve (actually the day you give presents here.) A German invention (more like tradition actually) along with the giving of presents at Christmas...

I have a live one in the conservatory & the black fake one in the games room, neither will be going up this weekend. Maybe next Sunday.

Agreed.

Second weekend of December here.

It's a tradition going back to when I was a nipper.

Homebase about 3 years ago, for a couple of hundred quid or something.

I imagine one can buy them online, but anyway aren't you visiting Blighty for a week or too before Christmas?

Bit tricky if they are flying.

Not sure how much excess I would get charged for a 6 footer

Spotted one on the John Lewis website for £180, have had a look round the shops in cloggers and haven't seen anything that isn't cheap tacky, and wouldn't last 5 mins with the NorPusses. The Cloogies do like their "goedkoope" aka cheap tat.

Getting the tree and the deccies out the cellar next Saturday according to the missus.
