Just a quick poll to see when you decorate.

First time I've put 'Don't Bother'; not a humbug approach, it's just we're having an early festive period before we depart for the Southern Hemisphere...

12 days of Christmas, and not one of them is in November!

Normally mid December for us, but if my wife had her way they'd go up on Christmas Eve and come down on Boxing Day. :@

Normally mid December. Too much hassle to get them out and pack way again for less than 2-3 weeks.

Did it with a 'Nerf Gun' one Christmas day, my good lady wife thought it a good idea to buy both my son and I one ! I was mildly surprised how accurate they actually are !

Cant be bothered with a tree and all the other things that twinkle flash and sparkle, too much hassle getting them out of the loft, spending hours assembling the tree only to be told their isn't enough lights on it even though we needed our own power station just to run the ones already on it ( we even had a letter from Blackpool one year asking us to cut back on the amount of bulbs we use as they couldn't compete ). No I'm not a Ba-Humbug either but feel its too much fuss to put them up and take them down a few weeks later type of guy.

With Airworld. Small lit artificial tree on lounge window sill. Mid December. Don't send many cards these days. Prefer to talk by telephone instead. Always struck me as odd to send cards to people and neighbours that you see every day!.
