It's up now. That's my MIL. She is the done who helped in putting it up and she is the one responsible for the decorations. Hands up for me, I'm really grateful for her timing so she was able to help in this area. I hope she can help me when I need to clean this all up. That's the reason I'm a bit busy. MIL is here and we put the tree up. How's your day?

Here in my country, this might not be early as maybe some families already put up theirs when September came. We start the celebration here starting September 1

@rakski that's so lovely, while my dad is getting our permission to if he can put the Christmas Tree already, hehehehe but I don't think it will happen anytime soon, because my mom would love to have a post celebration of her birthday, there will be no space in the house since both of my mom and dad's siblings will come. we have a very small apartment. Maybe on the second week of November we will put the Christmas tree and decorate it.

We will put up the tree after All Souls day. Usually it is me with some help from my brother who put up the tree and adorn it.

What a lovely tree, I really like the two leaves on top! Oooh, it's the MIL, the one you "stole" her son from. I hope you two have a good relationship regardless. And yes, hopefully she'll be around when it's time to clean up.
