We go to a Christmas Tree farm locally. You have a stroll around, pick out your tree, they come along and chop it down for you. I'll probably be doing that on the 5th/6th December, so I guess our decorations will go up at the same time.
When do you decorate? Do you have a real or a fake tree?

We normally go to a tree farm and pick ours for the chop, but this year we're going fake. Ours will go up sometime this coming week, got to clear the baby stuff out the way for it first!

Lucky Em! I don't think I'd bother with conventional decoration these days, except a friend and I alternate the two main days in hosting the other, and she, at 80, still loves all the traditional stuff! I expect I'd splash out and fill the place with fresh flowers if it was just for me, though the cards would probably still be white-tacked onto the doors... way back when, in more energetic times, I really enjoyed providing the whole shebang |

Mine went up on Friday night (4th) after the kids went to bed and there was no chance of my baileys getting knocked over  We have a fake tree but it looks very real, not like the ones I grew up,with as a kid. We do have fresh holly garlands and candle decorations all over the house though, which I make myself from the holly bushes in the garden. |

I gave heaps of decorations, baubles, bells, tree.. etc. etc. to a charity shop. |
