The tree is in

and the decorations are going on. I have never done this so early.

We did ours last week.......I started with just the one bauble to see how our new cats would treat it.........it was off in minutes ! However when we put the lights on it and a few more baubles they were not quite so interested. I put all the expendable baubles around the bottom layer......!

[Mags]

It's a good beginning! =)

[Josie Gilbert]

You've got further than I have - I've only bought a small potted tree to go on the front doorstep!

[JackieR]

ours are down from the loft and are going up in dribs and drabs

[Diana]

Good for you, I can only start on the 18th when Katja is here! Never been so late before ;-)

[Wendy Stout]

I’ve just done mine in the last couple of days… I’m hoping that the real tree doesn’t start to drop its needles too soon 🎄🤣🤣

[Kathy]

Tree not up here yet. I like the minimal feeling of this photo.

At least you have made a start. David got our tree down from the loft but it is still waiting to be decorated. Been to hot the last couple of days to even attempt it.

[Renee Salamon]

One very interesting bauble - is it going to be an international theme of decs

I like that lone bauble
