@Magee sounds good, last year I looked at a few places in our area and some of them sold out in May
Tree goes up 1st Dec. I sometimes book the day off work to do itLast year I bought my tree the day before xmas eve, put it up that evening then it was down on Boxing Day
This year I will put it up the first weekend of December.. still coming down Boxing Day though ha. When do you put yours up and down? I find influencers put up their tree in November. madness IMO!
Best thing to do when putting it up is to make an evening of it. Get some mulled wine on, put on some music and get in the mood. If you can, enlist help, with taking it down my husband finds and takes baubles off the tree and I pack them away.I adore the festive season but have a confession to make….. I detest the act of putting up and taking down a tree! I find it such a chore and really really try to avoid it where I can
I think it’s an ADHD thing, I just want things to happen without meandering the road to get there if that makes sense? There’s no enjoyment in the process for me, I get frustrated with the faffing and having to bend branches for hours and then spotting gaps for the next few weeks, or unsymmetrical baubles etc I’d much rather click my fingers and be done so I can watch the nice twinkly lightsBest thing to do when putting it up is to make an evening of it.
