We very rarely put up a tree before the holidays have begun. It stays up until 6th January.

MmoB, so long as "as soon as possible" means no earlier than 6th January, I'm with you. There are twelve days of Christmas, most of them after 25th December.

Nope usually gone by New Years Eve if not before, sometimes on 28th December. The very latest it has ever still be up is 2nd January as sons birthday is 4th and always gone before then. I do normally leave the outside decorations on the house up though although this year we have not even done that.

um - mine is always down on boxing day! but...but..... that's because sons birthday is 27th, so I always take it down to make sure it feels like its his birthday rather than the day after the day after christmas

(that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

I have seen us just getting around to putting ours up on Christmas Eve. We did plan on putting it up last Sunday but family emergency took precedence so hopefully this Sunday. Once up it will stay until 6th January.

We always get the tree the weekend before Christmas (or maybe the weekend before that if Christmas is early in the week) - I just can't bring myself to do it beforehand! Saturday is decs day chez nous :-)

*shakes head in disappointment at all of you*

Mine goes up closest weekend to 1st Dec as possible. Comes down on 6th (12th day of Christmas).
Outrageously, mine was up in the last weekend of November this year. There's enough misery in the weather, it may as well have sparkly lights and pretty things to make it feel more tolerable!! (although it is outrageously warm this year... I am actually hankering for a frost, blue sky and SUNSHINE!!!)

About This Thread

Maintained by Longwayround [LWR]
Yes, it's that time of year again, dig out your festive earrings and your Santa hats, I hereby declare the official opening of the FETCH SECRET SANTA 2015 hat decorate :-)

If you haven't yet signed up, sorry, you've missed the sleigh: we look forward to seeing you in 2016.

Please take into account that the mail might not be as fast as Rudolph: it would be appreciated if all gifts could be POSTED by the END OF NOVEMBER. (If you live outside of the United Kingdom, please post even earlier.)

ONCE YOU HAVE POSTED:
Please update the spreadsheet ( onedrive.live.com ) to let us know when you have posted your victim's goodies. Similarly, please update the sheet when your goodies arrive. The sooner all those lovely boxes get filled, the sooner the elves can kick back and start on the Aquavit. We WILL get stroppy with people who do not respond to messages after the deadline. Please don't be that person. If something untoward happens, please let your Elf know.

WISH LIST:
Don't be elusive once you've signed up as most of the fun is in the stalking and learning about your victim. You could think about pimping your profile and adding your list for Santa of things you like and types of gifts you enjoy. Also add your likes and dislikes etc below.

BUDGET:
I've slightly increased the budget this year to around a tenner. However, that is only a guideline. Don't be disappointed if the Antiques Roadshow values your gift rather lower.

HO HO HO MERRY FETCHMASS!!
