Heh heh, I'm glad to see that it's not just me who is having this sort of problem!

Everyday for the last few weeks, I've been explaining to my wife that it's too early to put up the Christmas tree. She wants a "real" one, so if we put it up now, it will have lost most of its needles by Christmas day!

It's easy to get the decorations down, since it's "unlucky" to have them up beyond a certain date. But it seems there's no such mumbo jumbo I can use to justify not putting them up in November!
