I put mine on 1 Dec. Loads of family birthdays in december so it is easyer for me to put the presents under the tree than hide them around the house.
I also like to keep my tree for the Russian xmas and Old New Year so my tree doesn't come down till 15 January :)

I don't put up much so wait until December 20TH just in time for the Winter Solstice ( Yule ) and Christmas then take the decorations down on January 1ST.

Preferably before Christmas :-) I don't know, it depends what the custom is. In Holland - where I am from - it after December the 5th and my host family in the States put them up from December 1 onwards.
Just follow your Christmas instinct. When it hits you, take out the decorations!

I'd say the weekend of the 16th or 17th I'm not sure how you work out when the 12 days of Christmas start or end maybe the 6th January is the end so work it back from there if you think you must.

Whenever you want. Most people do it the day after Thanksgiving. Others wait till Dec 1. There's no right or wrong.

I say December 1st. This is when a large majority of homes and workplaces carry out this(voluntarily of course!) During my last job, the staff were putting their decs up on the 1st Dec, so this date appears to be ideal.
