when do you put your tree up and decorate your house

[sdecaro558]

Ever since my mom died...  Actually, now that I think about it, even before that we really didn't put up a tree.  We just kind of stopped once my sister and I got older.  Now, we really just don't bother.  Seems like too much of a hassle and for me, that's not what the holiday is really about anyway.

We usually put our tree up on Thanksgiving and then the rest of the decor over the next few days.

we usually wait until the middle of December for the decorations but the Christmas tree we usually try to get it in the first weeks of December

I wait entil the first week of December to start decorating the house and the second week of December is when i put up the tree(the reason why i wait so long is cause i have a few cats that wont leave the tree alone)

  Hahahahhahaa that's so funny. I have slways liked having my tree up nearing Christmas but I like the decorations to stay up till around the end of January. I used to take care of a pitbull puppy around Christmas, he never messed with it but I guess cats are more curious.... maybe that's where the saying 'curiosity killed the cat' came from. NOT SYING YOUR CATS ARE GOING TO DIE but just making vain connections

I have an artificial tree so I put it together during the week and the the weekend was spent decorating it, the house, and outside.

Usually around thanksgiving my mom does, she does not like it too early because she thinks it ruins it so i would say a day after to a week after thanksgiving

We normally put up the tree and decorate the house on Thanksgiving day,but this year we had to wait to put up the tree til my son could could home from college. My son and daughter are the ones who decorate the tree for me.

The day after Thanksgiving its been a family tradition for 30 years. Now the 4 kids of us in our own homes we still keep it going including my mother.

I've never had a set time/date for decorating, but it was usually around mid November that I'd get started. This year though, I didn't put anything up until a few days after Thanksgiving. I didn't put much up this year, and I don't have a tree either. :/
