When is an acceptable time to start decorating for Christmas?

Personally I think as soon as it hits December, it's time for Christmas decorations to go up :cracker:

What do you think? And if you're at uni, will you and your flatmates be decorating in halls? :xmasgrin:

Second week of December, in my opinion!
First weekend in December is pretty standard. Mine normally go up a week before Xmas because I don't like Xmas generally and finally get forced into putting them up.
After going to the light switch-on/Christmas market yesterday, I really want to start decorating for Christmas now :moon:
I will start tomorrow considering i've finished my xmas shopping!
Christmas is a very sad time for me so never.
I usually decorated in the second week of December ^.^
Christmas eve is both traditional and quite soon enough.

I'm one of those annoying people that would be fine with decorations going up in September :tongue: though generally I would say any time after 1st December is acceptable.
A relative has hers up now.

Oooh, edgy. I'd have said that, but then I didn't want to run the risk of being outed as the anti-patriotic, British-value-desecrating, St George's Flag-****ting, happy-holidays-espousing Muslamic-ray-gun-carrying blasphemer that I am.

Deffo not november but I've seen people decorate as earlier as September. IMO Dec 1st is the appropriate time

I wasn't kidding. I put the Xmas decs up no earlier than Xmas Eve afternoon.

I'm usually fed up to the back teeth with Xmas by December.

:laugh:

I don't mind it so much nowadays, I just found it annoying back in college that there's at least a two-month run up to Christmas with at least a week off, and the only time we get to even start thinking about Eid is a few days before max, and then have to be back in the day after.
