Is November too early for christmas?

Thats when I put my christmas decorations up..Mid November. I have some mild regrets.

I may have gotten a little overexcited.. Miss babies first christmas, and my love for christmas combined was just a recipe for disaster and early christmas decorations.

It was totally worth it, until the infant decided to make a beline for the christmas tree, baubles and all, she had no mercy for those shiny little balls of potential choking hazzard and no amount of distraction toys placed in front worked. She had a goal, and that goal was destruction, and potential electrocution (she would not leave that damn plug alone!)

Then came the presents…the one gift from each person seemed to go out the window pretty fucking quickly. The present pile built, and as did my anxiety (WHERE THE FUCK WAS I PUTTING EVERYTHING), and not only that, the crafty human had figured out how to open them, I wrapped and rewrapped so many times that I eventually gave up and just left them half open.

It was from this that I quickly realised that while I may love christmas, and it may be my favourite holiday, even more so now that I am a mum and santa is going start playing a part and the magic of it all is going to come back into it, I need to leave my motherfucking christmas decorations down until as late as possible because my child will try and eat the tree.
