Have you your Christmas tree up yet? We spoke to a Drogheda woman who tells us why she always puts her tree up the first week of November




The adage expression is “Once Halloween is over, it’s the start of Christmas”. With more and more shops starting Christmas immediately after Halloween, we spoke to one woman who climbs the attic ladder and decorates her house in the first week of November.

Have you your Christmas tree up yet? Is it too early, or can it every be too early?

Jane Farrell from Drogheda told The Liberal she definitely doesn’t think it can ever be too early:
“For me it’s the build up to it. Myself and my son, Josh, just love Christmas and everything about it. We love the cosy nights in front of the fire and the putting up of the Christmas tree, we get a really lovely warm feeling from it.”

Asked when Jane usually puts her tree up, she said:
“I put it up early as it puts a smile on our faces which is worth seeing the excitement on my son’s face. I do it every year in the first week of November. I get good and bad comments but it’s my house and it’s what I enjoy.”

Jane went on to say:
“It’s a super special time of year, I love Christmas, love the build up do it every year especially love spending it with my family and friends best time of year”.

Well done Jane, you’re getting us all in the Christmas spirit!
