When is it acceptable to put up your Christmas tree?

We put ours up yesterday - not sure how I feel about it since I had a rough time last Christmas and it's reminding me of that, but my family love it.

Thank you, it's heading in a much better direction this year, and it's lovely seeing my mum all excited by the pretty lights anyway, so I think early Christmas is acceptable this year

Just noticed that there's a tree at the entrance to my college and am not a fan
In my opinion you shouldn't put anything up until December 1 at the earliest

July

you're on PRSOM for me

I put all my Christmas tree and decorations up on 1 December.
My friend is Christmas obsessed; plays Christmassy music all year round and has her decorations up every day- changes the decorations three times a year.

Just remembered the girl I'm dating has had her tree up since October - they just decorated it with halloween themed baubles

You have trees at college? My college never did anything for Christmas

I’ve never celebrated Christmas but I do rather enjoy it, if I were to put one up it’d be a week before Christmas break, just to help me push through college work with some festivity..

I've had mine up since October.

Do you have any pictures 👀

It looks shockingly bad in the photo from my dad's 5 year old tablet

I think people should wait until December, but each to their own i guess. The Christmas season is fun and all but every year it seems like everywhere is trying to push it back earlier and earlier into the year in an attempt to profit from it, and it's kind of diluting everything a bit too much for me. I like doing stuff like christmas shopping, markets, eating out a lot during the time and it'd get expensive to push that outside of December. That's when i start feeling more festive and decs seem to lose their meaning a little and become detached from the season if done too early. I find it nice to use putting the decs up as a way to mark the start of December and the festive period to get in the mood too.

Of course this year will be different for most. I don't plan on going out but i'll try and have a christmas season at home. I'll decorate once December hits and there will be plenty of Christmas themed snacks and movies.
