After Thansgiving dinner. My 4 children ages 24 thru 12 have decorated the tree for as far back as I can remember. It gives them something to do and I sit back and proudly watch. It's great to see how your family grows. My two oldest invite their girl/boy friends.

Usually the first weekend or second week in December, I have to shift furniture around, so I don't want it up to early, it would get in my way to much. If I put my tree up on November 2, I would be so sick of by the first of December I would be tempted to take it down. The earliest I have ever put mine up was middle of November about 10 years ago, I was 8 months pregnant at the time and my son was due on Christmas day, so I put it up while I still could. It was rather amusing, my big stomach kept getting in the way while I was decorating it.

Well I start putting up my decorations on the 1st of November. Around my birthday December 19th, I take my family and go get a real tree from the forest. Then we decorate it that night while drinking hot chocolate.
As the decorations start coming in the stores, I buy more and fill my house with as much Christmas decorations as I can ( I don't OVER do it though)

If you have an artificial christmas tree you can put it up any time actually. Some people put theirs up in early November, and some people put them up on Thanksgiving Day while other's don't put it up until 3 or 4 days before Christmas Eve. Everyone is different and it all depends on what you like and what your families tradition is.

Day after Thanksgiving. It will probably be the weekend before Thanksgiving this year. I bought an artificial tree last year (first time) because I hate that real trees can't go up until 2 weeks before Christmas!

Ours goes up 10 days before Christmas and comes down the day after Christmas. Not a lot of room in our place. Once the gifts are open, we put the tree and decorations away.
If we put it up too soon, we get tired of looking at the stuff. :)

When I was a child - the tree didn't go up until Christmas eve! (Yeah Santa!)
When my children we little We would put the tree up the 3rd weekend of Advent - not sure why - but it seemed like a good idea.
Now...I usually put it up Thanksgiving weekend - the extra time comes in handy.
It is a tradition of our family not to take it down until January 6th - Epiphany (little Christmas!)
Only 4 months to go!

Here in Germany, we put up the Christmas Tree (Weihnachtsbaum) on Christmas Eve and take it down just Jan seventh. When I lived in Canada, the tree was put up on the second Advent (third Sunday before Xmas) and taken down the middle of Jan.

It goes up the weekend after Thanksgiving and it comes down when we get around to it - usually mid-January but this year it wasn't until February.
Yeah - it's fake - we believe real Christmas trees belong in the ground which is why we planted one outside. We never did take the lights off of that one this year.
