    As they say at Coke - remember that Christmas is for months, not just for Christmas.

    Tree goes up on the Saturday after school finishes, and not before.

    We tend to have an end of term party, and I'm not risking the Swarovski crystals with other children around!!

    Over here they have sinterclaas on the 5th and it's their main present giving time, actual xmas is secondary.

    Not sure when we're putting ours up as we need to get round to buying one first.

    Its way too early for Christmas trees - even with watering they dont look proper for longer than 2 weeks. Assuming you get a real one that is.
    Don't blame me guv, my thread title was much different before the Nazi mods god a hold of it and gave me a stern telling off!

    Anyway, we all know Christmas is about the birth of Santa, not some hippie!
