Greetings from Custard Cream Towers!
It's that time of year where you're no doubt desperate to ask if it's too early to put the tree up, what you have the thermostat set to, or what present you should buy your cousin's best mate's dad's dog.
So to save clogging up the main page we kindly ask you to post all Christmas and generic wintertime posts onto this thread. Cheers!

Is this Sunday too early to put up decs? I’m normally a wait until December person but thinking one day early can’t hurt?
Looking forward to going to see what size of tree I can get in my car this year. Went 9ft last year but it was.. snug
All three trees are up in our house
We put our tree up on Saturday – much earlier than we normally do but we’re away next week and busy this weekend and I didn’t want it to not be up when we came home.
Had a brilliant day in the pouring rain picking a tree at the farm and coming home with a ridiculously sized tree. Always a fun highlight (and when I lived alone for seven years I never once put one up so I’m milking it now!).
Tis the season to be jolly 🥳😁
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good and reasonably priced advent calendar, preferably not chocolate themed?
I’m in Scotland and while it’s not the biggest thing, St Andrew’s Day on 30th is the perfect stop-gap between Christmas and Halloween, so I find Christmas from 1st December onwards is ideal!
Anyone have any experience with a ‘slim’ Christmas tree? I don’t normally bother in my place because the Mrs has a big Next jobby at hers and I’m there most of the time anyway, however this year I’ve got a bit extra spending money so might fit a slim tree in the living room. Any good?
My tree and decorations go up on the 12th.
It’s getting towards that time of year when I deeply regret buying the snow covered fake tree. It’s like blowing up a glitter bomb. Still finding shiny glitter in the carpet from last Christmas!
Next Monday is a bank holiday in Scotland so I will be spending the day decorating and maybe having a peruse around the shops
My mum very kindly gave us her Christmas tree from last year as it isn’t pre lit and she hated faffing on with the lights.
We went out today to buy all our decorations (it’s our first Christmas living together in our own home), got the tree out of the box and realised she’d only given us the bottom 3rd.
Going back to hers on Thursday for the rest of it.
