God, give me strength!
My missus can't wait to get her FOUR fuck-off trees and about 5 tonnes of decorations on them. She's now on about buying yet another bastard, and whilst I don't mind one tree, it's getting fucking ridiculous, because there's only me and her in the poxy house.
You have my deepest etc, etc.
I like to get it in January.. You can usually get them for free and if you're lucky might even have a bit of tinsel on so you don't need to decorate.
Wife disagrees. She wants in 1st-2nd week of december..
Suffice to say I will not get my way.
Excellent idea, Sir!
I shall tell my missus she can put all the trees up she wants, as long as the bastards are in my office over said period.

Ours goes up about a week before (whenever's convenient depending on the day Christmas falls) and generally comes down on 2nd Jan so that the house still has a festive feel during New Year's Eve/Day.
edit - putting it up in November does seem a bit ridiculous. Next year I'd be tempted to hammer the point home by getting the biggest tree I could find and put it up in October.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youOne of our cats eats tinsel so it's a pain in his arse to have up.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
She won't get a pre-lit tree either, thats too easy. She doesn't put the lights on of course!
I would arrive to find that all the small trees had gone but I could get a big one for the same price. I would have to rope the golf hatch shut, drive it home, manhandle it into the garden, saw off 3 feet from the bottom, saw off the spindly bits off the top, drag it into the house, find it was still too tall, saw off more so it was touching the ceiling.
Mrs S would arrive home after I finished and tell me off for getting a big tree.
Last year I got a plastic tree, decorated it and went Christmas was over, put it in the loft, fully decorated and with lights on. This year it can come out when Mrs S likes as it will take 5 minutes to install it in the living room and it goes back fully decorated.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
However, I reserve the right to not like it when it's not actually at least close to Christmas, when it's over-commercialised, when it involves unwelcome visits from relatives, when post-Christmas sales start before Christmas, and most of the other crap that seems to go with it now.
But that's because I'm now officially a grumpy old man.
