When is it acceptable to put up your Christmas decorations?

Are yours up yet?

Published 1st Dec 2016

December is finally here, so does that mean that it's ok to put up your decorations?

According to research by online furniture retailer Furniture Choice, the first of December IS when it is acceptable to get out your decorations – but not a moment before!

Of the people surveyed, 30% of them said that visitors blocking their driveway is the most annoying thing about their neighbours at Christmas, but 66% would never confront their neighbour about their annoying habits.

Are you one of those people?

A staggering 93% of participants denied the possibility that THEY might be the annoying neighbour! But if you've put your Christmas lights up too early, then you could be.

Nationally, the results revealed that the top five things Brits find annoying about their neighbours during the festive period are: 1. Visitors blocking their driveway (30%) 2. Putting Christmas lights up too early (17%) 3. Visitors leaving their house drunk (16%) 4. Playing Christmas music extremely loudly (16%) 5. Not joining in with the festive spirit (13%)

Oops, we better bear all that in mind at our Christmas gatherings this year then!
