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




What a beautiful sight to behold! Christmas has begun… at least in some houses!

The adage expression is “Once Halloween is over, it’s the start of Christmas” and if it puts a smile on people’s faces, isn’t that all that matters!

With more and more shops starting Christmas immediately after Halloween, we spoke to one woman who climbs up into the attic ladder and decorates her house in the first week of November, every year.

Drogheda woman Jane Farrell told The Liberal that herself and her family simply love the Christmas spirit:
“I just love Christmas and everything about it, I really do. I always do it early in November and my whole family enjoys it.”
“At this stage, my friends are waiting for me to put up my decorations early and I think everyone gets a really lovely warm feeling from it.”

Asked when Jane usually puts her tree up, she said:
“I put the decorations up every year in the first week of November and will continue to do so, it’s my house, it makes us smile and really puts us in the Christmas spirit”.

The friendly and festive lady concluded with:
“I keep the tree up until after the 6th of January, just like everybody else. I don’t take it down early or get sick of it because I enjoy every single minute of it.”

Well done on such a great job, Jane! Enjoy it, and…. Merry Christmas!
