When do you put up your Christmas Tree?

Question

If you celebrate Christmas, when do you put up your tree?

I LOVE Christmas and would put up our tree now if I could, but my hubby and sons would probably kill me.

Answer 1

around thanksgiving

Answer 2

the day after Thanksgiving, but TODAY I start adding little dec's all over the house, I get out one box at a time, that way the mess isn't out everywhere and store it in the closet and everytime I have minute, or as I am cleaning different areas, I go to the box and whatever items go in that area............ I do that throughout Nov and then the tree is sort of the finale, I also have already written our Christmas letter and this week I will be addressing envelopes, in comnig weeks I will make copies of the letter, stuff the envelopes, stamp...........also start baking a batch or two of some kind of Christmas cookie or food that can be frozen.......... I absolutely love Christmas, this way I GET to have Christmas season for a whole extra month and don't stress myself with trying to get all that done in a months time. Oh also I have been shopping for a few months now and as much as possible I wrap as I go, so technically I have been doing some of that since about the time that school started.
I say it's your house, especially if you aren't making them do it (decorating) you should do it when it suits you.

Enjoy the Season! .....for all long as you can by with ;)

Answer 3

Now that we have a new apartment....and have to have artificial trees due to the placement of the heaters in the house, we will probably put up not too long after Thanksgiving.

If it were a real tree, usually 2 weeks before Christmas!

Answer 4

I know, i love putting it up and getting into the christmas mood, i usually make myself hold off until the weekend before Thanksgiving though. Funny though I am ready to take it all down right after Christmas because I put it up so early I am sick of looking at it.

Answer 5

I try not to put our tree up until the week before christmas and it goes down the day after if I am lucky! I have children with allergies and a husband who loves real trees so we compromise!

Answer 6

I would put up the tree during Christmas. Even I feel like putting it up now but there are limitations for everything and we must learn to wait for christmas.

Answer 7

I haven't had a Christmas tree in a couple years, but I would really like to have one this year. I was thinking about purchasing one and putting it up next week on my day off. :o)

I say go for it, spread the cheer and put it up! Maybe if you put a gift or two under it, they won't be so eager to "kill" you.

Answer 8

AFTER Thanksgiving. The whole thing with stores - especially grocery stores, which make a mint on Thanksgiving - just skipping over Thanksgiving and putting the Christmas stuff out on HALLOWEEN - drives me nuts, because it's not about enjoying the season it's about making extra money.

Answer 9

haha I am really into Christmas this year and I want to put my tree up too but my husband said NO..I would do it anyway but he has to carry it up from the basement.

I will probably do it the week before Thanksgiving. I like to have it done before Thanksgiving because after I am always so busy

Answer 10

I put up my tree right after Thanksgiving, but I would love to put it up earlier. I love the Christmas season.

Answer 11
