Why do people put up their Christmas trees in mid November? There are some homes around here that have had them up for weeks, and this weekend more have gone up in peoples living rooms!I know times have changed, but when I was a girl our tree went up Christmas Eve, and with my own children the tree went up the Sunday before Christmas, whenever that was. You never saw many trees up before then in anyone's home, so what's changed?
I know it is disregarded by millions as a Religious festival now and it is the season of Father Christmas etc, but this has long been the case, so why are people bringing things forward to stretch out a season that thousands cannot afford? Unless, they are enjoying the cheer for more weeks than is necessary with coloured lights and so on - how sad it has all become!
