Ours go up some time early December, whenever the real trees go on sale. Later you leave it the nicer the tree is for Christmas day, but then I'm nesting this season so the moment I saw a tree selling, I HAD to have it, and it HAD to be decorated asap! I'm currently fighting the urge to put the prezzies under it (already!) and fill Ella's stocking! ]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:48:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22983&PID=562553&title=xmas-decorations#562553 <![CDATA[Xmas decorations : We put our tree up on the 27th...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22983&PID=562537&title=xmas-decorations#562537 Author: mrsturtle

We normally take everything down after we are back from holiday ususally 6th ish of January ]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:27:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22983&PID=562537&title=xmas-decorations#562537 <![CDATA[Xmas decorations : We just got our first xmas tree...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22983&PID=562522&title=xmas-decorations#562522 Author: kriss

We just got our first xmas tree for our new little family, and are going to get decorations tonight, so excited!!

Has anyone had a look at the decorations at Farmers this year? They are 50% off today, just wondering if they are any good.. otherwise will just go to The Warehouse ]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:12:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22983&PID=562522&title=xmas-decorations#562522 <![CDATA[Xmas decorations : I put it up any time in December,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22983&PID=562256&title=xmas-decorations#562256 Author: miss

Ours went up on the 1st of December (or close to the start of advent) and always come down 2 weeks after Christmas, traditionally cause we used to go away for 2 weeks holiday on boxing day, but also cause its epiphany (when the wise men turned up, after getting lost).

Mine go up on the 1st day of advent (which this year started after sunset on 29th Nov).  They usually come down within days after Christmas.

When do people put them up?

I don't put up any decorations until the evening of the 12th & I also make sure all decorations are down on the 5th. You know the 12 days of Xmas.

I guess I go along with the superstition of it?]]> Sun, 07 Dec 2008 19:00:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22983&PID=561029&title=xmas-decorations#561029
