The Christmas tree is usually put up at the start of December. For many families, the purchase of a Christmas tree together with the decorating of the tree is an activity that involves the whole family.

There are many different and exciting ways that you can complete your Christmas tree decorations.

There are no rules when it comes to the personal selection of Christmas decorations. It is a time of year where you can be as creative as you have ever been with the decorating of your home. While the house and garden are often the focal point, you can really impress your friends and neighbours by dressing up your front door and windows.

Prints and Photographs of Christmas and Santa can be added to your walls to create great memories for years to come.

One of the interesting facts about Christmas is when to put up, and take down your decorations. Our research has found that there are a number of different days that are popular.

As Christmas is a Christian religious celebration, decorations are often put up on the fourth Sunday before Christmas which is Advent Sunday. This day normally falls between the 27 November and 3rd December.

The second school of thought is that decorations should be put up on the 12th December, 12 days before Christmas and taken down on the 6th January, 12 days after Christmas. We don’t believe that the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas” has anything to do with this timing! We do understand however that the 6th January was the day the 3 wise men reached the baby Jesus and it took them 12 days to get there!!
