When do you put your tree up?

Usually ours goes up the day after Thankgiving. Or sometime during that week after. This year with the baby coming before Christmas we are going to try and do things a bit differently. So I am thinking up goes our Christmas stuff a week or so before we do the turkey. I would like to make it special for our daughter. It being the last family of 3 event.

Our tree normally goes up sometime in the beginning of December. I am not sure when I am going to put it up this year. I am going to have to deal with my daughter trying to knock it over ever 5 minutes.

We don't really have a set day either. But at least 3 weeks before Christmas. No use in going through the trouble of putting up a tree just to put it back down right away. As far as taking it down, usually right after New Years. My girlfrend likes to take it down sooner than I do. I would keep it up a week after new years if it was up to me. I love Christmas, but right now I'm out of a job, just like so many other people so it's kind of depresing. Of coarse if I suddenly find one before christmas that will take care of that.

We usually put our tree up the weekend after thanksgiving or the next weekend. We had a little bit of trouble with our middle one taking stuff off the tree too. Now this year she should be old enough to know better but I'm sure she'll get her little brother to do it. He is 15 months old so he is going to be curious and I'm sure keep at it. We usually take it down somewhere between christmas and new years. we don't really have a set date, just whenever we feel like putting in the effort to take everything back down and pack it back up.

I usually put my christmas decorations up around the first weekend that the children break up from school which is about the 19th December. I only put them up so late because I do not like the children getting to excited to soon as they are a pain then! I take them down just before they go back to school a couple of days after new year.

When my children were home, we always put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving. But, over the years, I have got more lax. In fact,one year, we didn't even put up a tree. Now, that wasn't by agreement - just couldn't get my husband to get the tree down and I couldn't. But, I usually have it up a week or two before Christmas. Our kids and grandchildren come for Christmas dinner and enjoy seeing the tree. I do hate that we never put up a real one anymore, though.

I'm not going to put up a tree this year. All my children are grown and now live in other states. They have Christmas with their family. Since all my grandchildren are not going to be around this year, I will spend most of my time helping at the shelters, hospitals and other places I try to help at. My friends and I are already getting ready for Thanksgiving as well as shopping for gifts for the children who otherwise would not have food or gifts on this special day. I like that I wont have to worry with putting a tree up nor taking a tree down. My friends and I will be putting one or more up in these places I have mention. And we will be taking some trees to families who could not afford one. This is my special way of celebrating the holidays. Time is a special gift.

When I was growing up we had an artificial tree and it was a family tradition to put it up and decorate it the Friday after Thanksgiving. But since I've been married we always have a live tree. It is just not feasible to have a tree up for a month like that. We usually put it about 2 weeks before Christmas and take it down often on New Years day. This year will be very different for us and I have begun to have mixed emotions about it. We will leave on Dec 15 to spend the holidays at a tropical location. I don't even think we will be decorating the house. I'm starting to worry about my son, who is 4, missing out on too much, but I know there will be decorations and all at the place we will be staying. I might get a live pine wreath to hang in my house somewhere just for the smell. I suppose I could take it to a Senior home before we leave.

Hello Many people I know put their tree up right after thanksgiving over that weekend . I suppose that is a very popular time . However , we dont have a set date . usually we would do it growing up the first weekend in december . I remember there was a time we did it right before xmas eve and that sucked , because i love to see the tree all lit up . my dad family would always do it on xmas ever put up the tree and then leave out the gifts .

we put our up like the week after thanksgiving. we're going have to sooner this year. we got lot of things to put up outside this year. we got tons of things for the grandson to see..

Pretty soon after Thanksgiving. We have an artificial tree so it can be pretty early, and I like it that way. I usually take it down no sooner than January 2nd and no later than January 5th.

We have always put our tree up around Thanksgiving. We have a fake tree so we can leave it up a whole lot longer. Last year we put it up on Thanksgiving day. The kids love it- it creates such a nice warm atmosphere in the house. We usually leave it up until New Year's Day but sometimes I take it down early because I want to get the house picked up and back to normal. There have been years that I have taken it down the day after- how sad is that?

We usually put our tree up and decorate for Chritmas the weekend after Thanksgiving or the week after Thanksgiving if we are busy that weekend. I like to have the Christmas tree and decorations up to get into the Christmas spirit. We usually take down our tree a couple of days after Christmas, because I sometimes get sick of the mess of having the tree and everything else out and want my house back to normal.

The day after Thanksgiving is usually when I do it. I hate celebrating one holiday before another is over. As far as the little kids, we only decorate the top of the tree. It looks funny sometimes but atleast the kids are safe and we don't have to keep redecorating it. We always take it down before New Years.
