I grew up putting up the Christmas tree & all decorations after watching the Adelaide Pageant on telly with Mum, we lived in SA until I was 7yrs old. So once we saw Santa "arrive" we were able to start our Christmas season IYKWIM.
When I moved in with XH I was told by him that "his" family put it all up on the 1st Dec & that's what we would be doing, so for the past 11yrs thats what I have been doing..... this year I would have done it after the pageant but not only could I not find it on any of the channels but we are currently staying with XH trying to find a place to live & all our stuff is in storage
When we move into our own place we will be setting it up after the pageant (as long as we can somehow watch it) otherwise I'll prob just choose a date, like the 2nd weekend of Nov, which is around the time the pageant is on
We put our up on the first weekend in Dec, not sure why except we have always done that LOL As kids we always had to take it down on 12th Night, now I am a bit slack.
I always put it up 1st Dec... because like I said mum would never let us do it before. Isn't it funny I have lived in my own place for quite some time now and I still do the same. Even though I am chomping at the bit to put them up in November. (can you tell its starting to get to me now )
