Smudge Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 As we like a real tree I don't like to put it up too early otherwise by the time Christmas actually comes it can look a bit sad, so we tend to get the tree up around the second weekend in December and I gradually add other decorations after that, finishing with the other 'live' stuff such as holly and mistletoe the weekend before the big day. We only have a small house and have to move furniture around to make room for the tree (I couldn't do without one, to me it's the absolute must-have christmas decoration even if you had nothing else) so by adding all the decorations gradually it doesn't suddenly make the house feel so cluttered and small.
