We gotout of the habit of having a Christmas tree- the first year we were in this house (1985) we had two young cats continually climbing up it. Didn't start the habit again until the last cat died. Now we have a tiny one on the hall table, with the usual baubles, but also a couple of decorations embroidered by a friend. All very tasteful! Usually stay there from a week before THE DAY until Jan 6, unless I can't tand the sight of them before that

ho ho ho
Here the southern (but not most southern) state of the Great Southern Land it is 'tradition' to put up the Christmas decorations on the day of the city's Christmas Pageant, which takes place on .............................
the first or second Saturday in NOVEMBER.
There is one particularly objectionable (to me) house which I pass on my way home from work - the entire outside of the house, including roof, is festooned with flashing lights of many different colours.
It was still in the high 30s on Tuesday as I drove home at close to midnight. The car I have hired from Rent-A-Wreck has no air con, and said house did nothing to raise my spirits
I have some stylish Villeroy and Bosch, and less stylish but appropriate to our family Hallmark, decorations which will be strung from a eucalypt branch around 21/12, and which, hopefully, will not break when my daughter's greyhound catches the branch with her very long, whip-like, tail in passing. She's a happy dog, so her tail wags a lot, and vigorously.
However, this plan presupposes that we will have some trees which are still alive by then - many are already falling victim to the drought we are experiencing.
Gosh, what a bah humbug mood I am in today

One week before Christmas is enough for me - they never ever go up here before the last Monday in the teens of December.icomefromalanddownunder wrote:Here it is 'tradition' to put up the Christmas decorations on the day of the city's Christmas Pageant, which takes place on ......

In the outer "East End" there are a lot of house lit up like that with what is generally tat. Entire houses are submerged with sleighs, reindeer, stars and all sorts of unmentionables (down JR - none of your here) I heard of one such whose electricity bill was £10K for such illuminations.

We've heard about your drought and fires - I don't think anyone wishes you anything but good luck and plenty of soft rain.,
What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution.
What happens if all of them drown? That is solution!!!

Very many thanks.
We've managed to secure some hay at a reasonable price, so at least have feed for the animals for the next few months.
Happy December Each and Everyone of Us

Chrismassy when you see Maypoles? They are part of a fertility rite (that's when the girls show that they lack attachments by playing on the village green) and should come out about 9 months before Christmas, you h***y so'n so.Great Plum wrote:Christmas decs go up in our house the week or so before Christmas...
I never feel really Chrismassy until I see Maypoles to Mistletoe!
Divert alert; JR's coming.
