Same! My parents are always nothing before December and wait until the second weekend of December to put their decorations up. I think it was the first Lockdown which also happened to be our first Christmas in our new home away from parents that I and others on my street started early around mid November to cheer ourselves up. The following year I was the odd one out up earlier about 10 days before others so now I do it third weekend of November and that seems accepted and prompt others. I like them up as long as possible as I feel sad when most of my street take them down before New Year. Anyone else that has family or in-laws that refuse to discuss Christmas plans before December? My in-laws do this, when I try to bring it up in November they refuse saying it's far too early, when my point is yes but we all need to know numbers because Christmas food slots go in November??
We try to switch between our parents each year, which became very frustrating when my husband's parents are vague as we then can't plan with my parents (and mum does like to know numbers in November). So now Mum and I have decided we will just make our plans and they will have to fit around us. Which will still be awkward when it's technically in-laws turn.
We would host but the house is too small to host either family we only have a table big enough for four.
I have the opposite problem in that my husbands family started discussing it in February last year!
Husband is one of 3 but in-laws seemed to come to ours one year and then the next year they would host. We weren’t invited but the 2 daughters were then back to us so I had them every other year. I think I should only have to do 1 in 3. Anyway then covid hit and I needed a home office so goodbye spare bedroom and they haven’t been since. Until this year when it was discussed that they would come and I could share a single bed with our 5 year old and hubby would be on the sofa. No bloody chance! Especially when they only live 20 miles away
So this rumbled on all bloody year where I deflected and said I’m not discussing Xmas at Easter, I’m not discussing Xmas in summer etc. knowing in laws would panic and offer to host or arrange to go elsewhere.
I’m obviously already planning next Christmas but let’s keep that a secret!
Well thanks for letting me get that out as I can’t afford therapy!!
doesn’t seem like they were up long but it’s been a good 5 weeks.
