I kind of get itchy when i see xmas lights up in november. And xmas cards already been sent out?

Too soon for my liking. And don't get me started on people who trail the outdoor light cable all over the front windows and stick on the brightest blinding flash.

On the plus side i do like stuffing and mince pies! Not together though. Obviously.

Be interesting to know how people decorate their houses frm Crimbo. Do you go with a traditional look or lean towards the wild n wacky?

Our house takes a more victoriana theme with a beautiful red velvet bow on top of the trees.. some gold stars, baubles, some crystal drops too and frosted cones. It looks quite alpine.

It takes about an hour/2 hours to do the whole tree but looks amazing when finished.

I shall take a picture of it to show you- in December. And the big dining table with lace tablecloth and golden candles.

Big question- plastic xmas tree vs real xmas tree? What do folks prefer prefer?

Jeez i doubt we would get a 15 footer in our house without taking half the house down and knocking a few doors off the hinges.

With Halloween right around the corner, people like @kat are probably thinking- 'what the hell is my hedgehog gonna wear?' If I had a hedgehog, we'd have to dress in complimentary 'Beauty and the Beast' costumes. (Hedgington dressed as the beauty of course.)
