Has anyone seen any trees up yet and when do you put yours up? Mine goes up about the 20th December.Post by: kevvosa on November 25, 2006, 11:05:03 pm

I moved from a real tree to a fibre optic one several years ago. It goes up the weekend before Christmas - around the 18th - 20th and comes down on New Years Day.
People round here already have windows full of lights and gardens full of giant-sized Disney characters dressed as Father Christmas. It's chronic.

I'm having a Christmas party about ten days before Xmas so I'll put it up just before then. I want a black one but mine is only two years old so it seems a waste to buy another.

An angel for me, or sometimes a star. I won't put my tree up until late December (if then, the way things are going) but I've seen quite a few around in house windows already.

I hate angels as they always look tacky. Also it always reminds me of Bottom when Richie looks up the angels dress to see her knickers
What you got on the top of your tree then?

I have seen black, purple and pink trees this year. It's just not right.
What's wrong with that?

I haven't got it up yet but when I do it'll be a star.

I've had a look and they do look absolutely stupid. And whoever was selling them claimed that they're a big hit in America
Say no more!

My decorations will go up on Saturday. I always put them up on the first Saturday in December, I am happy because it's nice and early this year.
I always put a star on top of my tree until my daughter bought me an angel last year for christmas. So now I have a really pretty angel in a white dress with silver stars. She's lovely, and to be honest she'd go up on the flippin tree even if she was as ugly as sin just because my daughter bought her for me (but maybe I'd turn her to face the wall just a little bit!)
I went looking for the upside down trees on eBay and found this:-
I have to say "How altogether daft does this look??? Answers on a postcard please" 
I hope everyone has a good time putting up their decorations whatever kind of tree they have, tinsel or no tinsel, and upside down or rightway up may your baubles remain where they are supposed to be. (And if not may you have good insurance!)
