When is it the right time to put up your Christmas tree? Aussie mum sparks debate after putting her decor up in October – and she’s not alone
- An Aussie has split opinion online after putting up her Christmas tree early
- She shared a picture to a Facebook group and received a strong reaction
- Group members can’t decide if she decorated far too early or if she’s just on time
- The woman was not the only Aussie to put up their tree in October
An enthusiastic Aussie has sparked debated after putting up her Christmas tree in October, more than two months before December 25.
Posting to popular Facebook page Kmart Home Decor & Hacks, the eager mum shared a snap of her elegant tree and had no qualms about putting it up and bucking tradition.
Advent – the Christian calendar period before Christmas that signals preparation – begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas (November 27). Tradition sees many choose to begin their decorating from this date onwards.
‘Yes, it’s early. Don’t come at me. Kmart made me do it,’ the mum captioned her post.

The woman crafted her tree using the Antarctic Pine from Christmas Warehouse and Kmart decorations and group members were split in their opinion about whether it was too early to put it up.
‘All those people saying never too early, what are you talking about? What about June or April? of course its too early, its not even November let alone December,’ one woman fumed.
‘And yes people can do as they please but come on we’ve gone from a single day to a whole month to a whole two months to now doing it in October! Rant over.’
‘Beautiful but way too early,’ another said.
However others felt it was a personal decision and it makes sense to put up your Christmas tree early.
‘Why do you care what other people do? If you don’t like it, don’t do it,’ one woman said.
* Wrap tinsel around a single branch tip and snips off the excess to create a ‘firework effect’
* To make your tree fuller, buy two cheap artificial trees and attach the second tree’s branches individually with cable ties
* Buy cheap products like over-sized flowers, magnolia stems, ribbon and baubles
* Fluff up each branch individually to make a fuller looking tree

‘Studies have found that putting your Xmas tree makes you happier than most people,’ another woman shared.
‘No such thing as too early. I put mine up two months before Christmas. What is the point of owning something so beautiful if it is only on display for a few weeks each year!’ another said.
‘Can I please live with you till my partner lets me put up our tree on the first of December please,’ one Christmas lover begged.
‘Never too early for some happiness,’ one woman said, ‘I’ve put my tree up too what harm is happiness,’ another agreed.
Another Aussie has also put her tree up early. The tree is from Jingle Jollys, whilst all of the decorations are from Kmart
However the woman wasn’t the only Aussie starting Christmas early.
Another woman shared her beautifully decorated tree to the group, saying ‘yes, we can create beautiful things on a budget.’
The woman explained her tree was ‘100 per cent’ decorated with Kmart products, and the tree was $118 from Jingle Jollys.
Group members were so impressed with the decoration they didn’t question the woman’s early decorating.
‘Looks amazing, I love it,’ one woman commented.
One mum also shared her beautiful tree to Facebook, sharing that it’s 80 per cent decorated with Kmart baubles
