    we put ours up after our twins birthday which is the first week in dec- only cause it takes up so much damn room and we really need that room when we have their birthday celebration with as they always end up being heaps of people.

    Ours will go up as close to the 1st of December as possible. I'm really excited about it this year because although DS will be 20 months old at Christmas and still not really 'get it', he will love the tree and all the sparkly things on it!

    We won't put ours up until a week or two before. DH is actually the Grinch and hates Christmas :lol so it makes life easier for us all if the tree doesn't go up until it absolutely has to

    DH is a grinch too... too many bad memories for him at xmas time. but he is open to creating new good memories and "doing it our way" and making our own traditions.

    We put ours up this morning. We got way to many lights though so we had to make a trip to bunnings for some removeable clips to hang them across the house. Once they are ready to go & DS wakes up from his nap, we'll finish it off

    I'm super excited this year as DD is old enough to get excited & DS knows what it's about. I've given up on having a designer tree as I just don't have the eye for it so having kids is the perfect excuse.

    We put our tree up last week. Its the earliest we have ever put it up as it normally goes up on the 1/12, but this year we decided to be different.

    And it would have gone up earlier except, we decided it should go up in the toy room. Which meant doing a toy cull and re-arranging the toy room. Half way through doing that, we decided that the toy cull would be much easier if we gave DD1 and DD2 a room each (they currently shared a room). So we stopped the toy room work and started changing rooms around so that they had their own rooms. Got half of DD1's things in her new room, and decided that the room desperately needed painting. So went got paint, painted room. Moved her in. Then looked at DD2's room and decided it needed paint too, so went got more paint to paint her room. A week later the toy room is still a mess, but we have painted two rooms and separated the girls toys. The tree went up and we cleaned the toy room up this last week.
