When to put up Christmas lights ?

[Ayahuasca]

It's been a rubbish year and it makes her happy, so what's the harm?

There isn’t any, as long as you can handle being labelled a chav or council house dweller by the OCUK toffs.

I couldn't care less. My kids are happy and that's what matters to me, not some pathetic keyboard warrior on an Internet forum.

What are they gonna do, spout boxing stance, poo through the letterbox and any other banal unfunny statements?

i don't know whether to laugh or cry

Cry. 100% cry.
I'm not on the group, it is populated with the worst kind of curtain twitchers who live for complaining about missed bin emptying, sightings of gritters and rants about teenagers.

This is what I saw earlier.....

To be fair that's quite tastefully done. They will have spent a fair bit on it too.

I've ordered some festoon bulbs for along the guttering. First time we've had outdoor lights. I might put them up this weekend.

window decorations and outside I think should be down as early as you want.

sets a nice atmosphere on the street, personally wouldn't stick a tree up or indoor stuff so early though or the novelty feeling of Christmas will wear off before it actually begins

normally about the 10-12th December tske thrn down the Jan 2nd before going back tp work

Weekend before Christmas, best time to get a bargain tree, comes down 12 days after Christmas for the annual family fire safety brief of setting fire to the tree outside...

Usually the 1st weekend in December when we were in London.

Haven’t bothered with outside decorations here in France as no-one would see them.

Mid December usually, I've seen houses decorated since the start of November though, I know a few of them, none of them work.

My neighbours have started putting theirs up - got a ~200 foot long drive they are doing the entire length of.

Mine have been up since 1976.

Mrs has bought a small box bush to go by the front door which I've decorated with a string of battery powered lights, of course it needed to be the same colour as the main lights going along the front of the house. My partner is really easy going but surprisingly strict about what decorations go up, when and where. It's quite amusing

some people around here with some tasteful christmas lights, without the harshness of a lot of the leds,
fair ground type pastel colours, each bulb, inside outer transparent shroud, seems to be a small 3-4mm maybe glass? tube - what are they ?

edit : like these can't see where you get large quantities
