"Barry the bulb got his ladders out and has started next door to my mother and its still september."
One of my neighbours has been checking theirs, been like a bloody disco this evening. I haven't asked when they are going to switch them on properly,if I am honest I am a little scared of the answer.  |

House not far from us has the outside of the house covered in lights already. Freaky people wishing their life away OR very sad people with empty lives and nothing else to look forward to? Can not make my mind up. |

No lights or decorations go up until the week before Christmas in our house. Think it's alittle more special when its left later, knowing Christmas is so close.
When I was a kid the decorations would always go up the weekend before Christmas and we'd go out as a family to choose the tree and decorate it before we went to bed.  |

I have got most Christmas gifts already but did stop myself from buying cards and wrapping paper on Thursday.
BHS had some nice stuff reduced so it was tempting x |

The best part about Christmas is my tree which goes up the weekend nearest 1st Dec
I find xmas is for the children and can be long and boring....News Year is for Adults and lots of fun |

Now that's how I remember it, that's Christmas as it should be. Nowadays it's just cheapned by all the crap people hang on the outsides of their houses.
Don't get me wrong I'm not bah humbug about it there are some beautifully decorated homes but most of the ones that'll start to pop up now are shite.
I were in asda the other day and they are now selling Christmas branded mince pies and other treats with the sell by date running out before the end of October, yet walk in there on 26th of December and they can't get rid of Christmas quick enough now that makes my blood boil... |

 I buy whenever it's reduced. And I've been buying presents for a while. I have to keep a list or I forget what I've bought so far.   |

Noo, that is just wrong in my eyes. I really wouldn't do it. Neither would I ever leave outside lights up all year, even if they weren't switched on. It makes the outside of the house look shabby.
No, sorry to those who do it, but no, it's just wrong.
I do enjoy looking at houses who go overboard with their Christmas lights, as long as its in December that is Some are really artistic and some are cheap, tacky and chavvy. I do not like those large inflatable santas etc, very
common looking. I wouldn't do it myself though. I have an 8th tree full of lights and glass ornaments and garlands for all the fireplaces but that's it. |

I felt a bit bad about buying cards and wrapping paper so early though especially as I'll probably forget where I have put it.
Would buy in the Jan sales but have the same problem with misplacing them |
