** LET'S GET READY TO CHRISTMAS ** | Christmas is coming | Let the PREPARATIONS begin!!

[@Aarah-e8c]

Christmas should be celebrated after Remembrance Day the 11/11. My husband is marching at the Cenetaph this year. So many people seem to forget and just jump on the commercialism of Christmas.

[@TheSullivanFamilyScotland]

I too am a veteran and respect the 11th Nov just as much especially after serving in Afghanistan, I think they are two very separate things to be respected in their own right 🙂❤️ Ben x

[@starrperry6395]

This American is all about Christmas decorations starting November 1st too. We love looking and enjoying our Christmas tree and decor for more than a few weeks. Wrapping gifts early and feeling blessed to also help other families that are struggling in our community. So Sullivan family, put those Christmas decorations up and enjoy every moment.

[@TheSullivanFamilyScotland]

We will Starr 😉 as soon as possible xxx

[@louiseheald9480]

[@TheSullivanFamilyScotland]

They really do Michelle 🥰

[@hayleywallworth42]

Looking forward to all the Xmas vlogs!! 🤗👍Xx

[@wendywilson858]

Christmas is only too early when those people don't have many too buy for. I've nearly finished as I have two adult children 6 grandchildren and 3 great grandson's. As well as others to buy for. Xx

[@ayela562]

I’m all about Christmas. My husband prefers to wait until December 1st for decorations. We usually compromise with putting things up the third week of November. I’ve already started shopping though. Ben and Zoe, I can’t even imagine the planning and preparation that goes into Christmas for all the children! Put your decorations up whenever you like. It’s a joyful season and your whole family loves it!🎄

[@TheSullivanFamilyScotland]

It’s just the BEST time of year 🥰

[@LivvyAlexW]

I’m Canadian. We celebrated thanksgiving a month ago almost. That means I got my Christmas stuff out today. Love Christmas

[@TheSullivanFamilyScotland]

Woohoo 🥰

[@peggybegin8241]

@@LivvyAlexW I'm American and will wait til after our Thanksgiving on Nov 27 to put up my tree and decorate. But I enjoy the Hallmark Christmas movies and all the early Christmas decorations. 🎄🥰 Enjoy!

[@daniellagolebiowska4414]

[@donnabarnes4930]

we put our decorations up by the last day of november. i fully intend to be done with my kids christmas shopping by the end of november this year.. and then while the kids are at school the start of december i will get it all wrapped up. then will shop for the verrrry few other people we buy for during december. christmas is deffinatly well on its way

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

November 1 feels too soon. As you've pointed out, as Americans have Thanksgiving, we have less incentive to start Christmas two months early. Also American daily life doesn't halt for Christmas week as it does in the UK. Enjoy the anticipation and preparation! We certainly could use a reason to be on our best behavior, especially in the US in the coming weeks following the election.

[@Lisa-BoundByBooks]

@@amyschneidhorst1384 hello! American living in the UK. Life doesn’t really stop here the week of Christmas. Kids are off almost the same. Might be a bit longer. But they only are off 6 weeks in the summer. For my house we’ll decorate two weeks from today. I like it done before thanksgiving so two weeks time works for us this year. I’ll still cook thanksgiving dinner here,…. Just with Christmas decorations all up!

[@amyclaire100]

@@Lisa-BoundByBooksThere is an exception to every rule. Enjoy. You and yours and others in here must be the intended audience for the early Fall Christmas items in stores here. As for the UK, my understand of holiday culture there is from having lived there myself years ago as well as UK friends and BBC. I am sure things have changed and vary from person to person.

[@debrachapman60]

My youngest gets three weeks off over Christmas, eldest gets just over two weeks and my husbands workplace shuts down for nine days. It's so nice having so much time off to be together. Some of my friends and family in the US only get a few days which is a shame. One of them only gets the one day off and she's so exhausted that she sleeps through some of the day. 😴 May I ask..is thanksgiving just as big/not as big as Christmas? As it's a US tradition I'm curious to know how you celebrate it. 😃

[@kathtaylor5544]

Get your Christmas going Zoe, I really look forward to your run up to Christmas. Also you have such a busy life you have to get it all started early. Xx I finished watching you don’t worry about the dust on the stairs that will be there tomorrow. I’m going on 77 not able to walk round the shops to much but I have two great grandsons 1 and 3 I get great enjoyment buying the stocking fillers but like you I don’t like tat so I’m looking forward to your ideas.

[@kirstyosika7815]

Ben, Flo must be as light as a feather.. I couldn’t walk in the rain with my 2 year old in 1 hand and my phone/camera in the other filming 😝

[@valgodders]

Hi great vlog seems not long ago you put Halloween decs up goes quickly 😮 Now onto Christmas I'm ok as I only buy for the grandkids mind you I have 7 but it's not to bad ❤❤

[@derekw.9878]

My American mother is 80 years old and her tree will be going up soon. It used to be the day after thanksgiving but Xmas has moved up.

[@debrachapman60]

Zoe. Your face really lit up when you mentioned Christmas. 😃🎅 I'm currently making and decorating almost 500 gift tags for the school i volunteer in. We have a fun day in December and each child writes their wish on the tag then put it on the Wish Tree. Out of all my ideas, this one is the most popular. 🎄🏷

[@TheSullivanFamilyScotland]

Lovely idea Debra 🥰

[@M990-b7h]

Just thought you'd like to know that fun and function site sells bands for school desk likes that kids can bounce their feet on to help ease the need to move around. I think it may help Toby. Christmas tree goes up after Thanksgiving here.

[@M990-b7h]

Desk legs, not likes😊

[@TheSullivanFamilyScotland]

Thanks for the tip 🥰

Sad pumpkins, but they lived a good life😂 Zoe, sometimes we just need a day to contemplate what's next. Isn't it funny how much faster decorations come down than go up?! Great vlog!❤😊

Enjoyed this video. I think in this world we can do with all the merry we can get 🌲there are so many miserable judgmental people out there..we don't decorate till the end of November but ive started buying bits here and there to put away till then. People judge too much..if it makes you happy and doesn't harm anyone then go for it 😉

Well said 👏🥰
