Re: Decking The Halls.
I put my tree up on Christmas eve, partly tradition as this was when my father did it, but apart from a few years when i put lights in the window i dont bother with any other decorations. I do however use lighting and scented candles to alter my living rooms atmosphere and mood.

Re: Decking The Halls.
Weekend before the 25th we don't have a tree but we do put up others decorations, all home made and some very old. I discourage cards as they seem a waste of paper each year, much prefer e cards. We send a couple of Christmas letters to far flung members of the family this year sadly only one to send as Auntie Sylvia died in March. 100 years old though so had a good long life.We are making a new door hanging I think this year as the last one was falling apart by end of festive season last year.

That really surprises Nom. From previous posts I gathered you were single. Now I don't wish to sound . . . (can't think of the right word), but you are the only man I know, that would dream of bothering. My son certainly doesn't bother. Perhaps I've only met lazy men.
Now I am going to be inundated with men shouting at me.

When i was married my wife was like a kid and it was a battle to keep her from starting things to early
once my son came along i gave up trying to hold her back.Hiding presents was a nightmare she had an insatiable curiosity
, this will be my 24th Christmas on my own, by choice i might add. So minimalist with plenty of festive cheer "Hic"

[QUOTE=Alan Cooke;567964]We put our's up about a week before Christmas.........I do most of the work.[/QUOTE]But would you bother if you were on your own Alan?
I always do a little tree and some lights, but this year is the first time I think I'm going to have to ask my son to get them down from the loft for me. Bloomin' loft ladders are a bit tricky to pull down, and the loft entrance is so small, its barely shoulder width, so I struggle to get boxes over my head and down the steps!
