This may be a silly question but one of you guys might able to help. It has been irking me for a while.

Growing up mum always insisted that it was tradition to put your tree and decorations up on the 1st December. I have tried to find out why but come up with conflicting info.

Is this a real tradition? and what is the basis behind it? or is it just something mum did to stop us bugging her?

IYKWIM?

Thanks
