ok, so i have been known to put them up on 1st november before! Normally DH puts the halloween decs away and gets the christmas decs out ready whilst he's in the loft. We go to disneyland paris every year in mid november and i like to have them up before we go so I can see what christmas things i already have (that's what i tell DH anyway) as we normally by some christmas ornaments while we are there. It's also really nice to get into the christmas spirit at disney and then come home to a decorated house. We have a real tree though so that has to wait until december. I blame my mum she is christmas nuts and our whole family just love the season, I'd probably have them up now if I could!!
