So jealous, TMS. And Lulu, I have a similar memory. Only Sis and I didn't wait for my mother with the camera instead.
Sadly, I have to wait for DH to help: it's stashed in the loft and it does take 2 people to move everything and find it, then get everything safely down. Very tempted to put it up on the 24th, so it's ready to go for the 1st of December and we can hang our stars on that morning. Plus I have to organise DS's stars into his advent thing my mother bought him with pockets for every day (my mother intends for DS to have a lolly a day: still not happening even though she bought a big thing with 24 pockets on and lots of lollies). Stars are better than food, in both my book and Liebling's!
Going to push for the 24th. Liebling and I aren't doing anything else that weekend.
I am sure as kids we always waited until December 1st but Im not sure this year. I would like to do it early but were so busy the next two weekends who knows! I am also not looking forward to it as i have a very curious toddler and were not really intt safety gates (and would prefer not blowing christmas $$$ budget on buying them!)
