Will be putting ours up as late as poss. this year.
Our old house always looks lovely decorated up, I do foliage
arrangements for tables and odd corners, and we have gathered a set of
favourite and somewhat quirky bits and pieces over the years, that do
help the darkest, dreariest days pass more agreably.
Daughter works in 'hospitality', and though she is off Christmas Day, she is working Boxing Day and quite likely to get called in for Christmas Eve, so not realistically able to get home for a relaxed Christmas.
It was the same last year, so we shall do again what we did then - we had 'Christmas' in early January , and had a lovely time with good food and drink, enjoyable company and better TV .
I'm another New Year hater, have been since a child. Though generally heartily glad to see the back of the old year, there is usually little reason to suppose the New one will be any better. Not sure that this New Year will be any different!
Don’t normally put up decorations until week before Christmas but will put out this weekend As we will be away for a Wedding 🎩 soon So we have Just collected a real tree from Castle Farm , Fillingham , North Of Lincoln A great selection & service and they actually grow them , our was cut this morning Last weekend they sold over 1000 , not a very nice weather so not busy Merry Christmas everybody 🎄
Hello again , have now read all the posting , interesting , shows how we are all different In fact this year we are having 2 Christmas’s as my niece that is getting married does not get back from there Honeymoon until the 28th Dec , then the family is going to have Christmas no.2
My tree went up today as both of my grandchildren were here and they were excited about helping to decorate it. At age 5 and 2 I think it is wonderful to share the magic of Christmas with them. If it was up to me, I would have waited another week though.
Hello , Christmas tree and decorations put up today Not gone over board but pleased with results , decided not to put any tinsel out this year but more lights It’s begining to feel like Christmas 🎄 Having usually had a week long Christmas celebration, usually need a rest by New Year
Collected Christmas tree today - it’s having a good soak outside before it meets the central heating and the cats. Bit early for us, but we off work and thought - why not.
