when do you usually put up your christmas tree?

[longleggedgiraffe]

It has always been a tradition in my family to put the Christmus tree up Thanksgiving evening. When all the family is together and we get into the Christmas spirit Then it comes down on New years day ...

I put up a pathetic little Charlie Brown Christmas tree yesterday.  It has sentimental ornaments on it from when my children were young and creative.   I also hung up some mistletoe and I have some little fake poinsettias that a friend gave me.  That might be as good as it gets...for this Christmas.  

Oh...and...we had our first snow storm today.  

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We've been slackers, lol. But I think we're definitely getting one within the week. I wanna decorate!

[keissy2000]

My family and I put ours up the weekend before Thanksgiving and we are from Michigan. So I know what you mean about cold and windy

Growing up, my family always dug out the Christmas decos the night of Thanksgiving. My late father was notorious about buying a "live" tree every year.
Now I have a couple of trees with lights already attached & ready to fluff! They go up the day of Thanksgiving. (If my kids were in charge, the trees would go up in July!  )

We usually put the Christmas tree up the first weekend after Thanksgiving, and we used to leave it up for quite awhile, until around my birthday at the end of February, but having naughty cats changed that tradition. And so now we take it down a lot sooner.

I don't know that we have ever put up a tree the same time as previous years. I really don't pay much attention to when it goes up either, but I know it's usually not until maybe the last week of November or the first week of December. Still have not set one up yet this year, but then again it is only the 3rd.

I love to put up my tree as quickly as possible after Thanksgiving but the exact day varies every year depending on my schedule.  This year I am doing it today.  I love seeing the tree and lights.  It brightens my spirits.

I have an artificial tree and put it up every year the weekend of Thanksgiving.  I have a lot of decorations that take a full day to put out.  Since it takes so much time and energy I like them to be up for quite awhile.  I usually wait until the New Year to take them down.   I love the house to feel like Christmas as the kids anticipate it's coming.

Me and my girlfriend are actually going to put our Christmas tree up this evening.  We wanted to put it up a little earlier but got too busy so thank God it's the weekend. We'll probably take our tree down a little after the new years.

I am always late for putting up my lights! I think that the traditional answer is the day after Thanksgiving...or that weekend but we were in the mountains skiing for the first time in two years (broken foot last year).  I worked three twelve hour shifts last week prior to skiing and ten hour shifts this week but we got hit with six inches of snow this morning so putting the lights up, outside, is somewhat out of the question.  I hope that we get another spate of good weather!

my trees not up yet... dont know if Im having one this year unfortunatelyy

There is a station that plays christmas music starting Nov. 1.  I think that's crazy.  I start putting up christmas decorations, wreaths etc. the weekend after Thanksgiving.  In this way I can put up a little at time rather than rushing at the last minute.  I start taking everything down the weekend after new years.

I normally wait a week or two after turkey day before I put it up. I think people who put it up in november are crazy lol. I like christmas decorations, but I am already sick of the tree by christmas so looking at it for two months, is just insane to me. lol
