When Do You Put Up Your Christmas Tree?

We out on the christmas tree on the eve of my birthday--september 3rd. So it's on and lighted for almost four months. We really make it early according to my grannies... it brings in luck. They're right, we are receiving so much blessings!

We usually have ours up by October. Some may say that it's a little too early but well, we like to get into the Christmas spirit. We add other decors on November. Actually, we just might do more decorating this week.

We put ours up the weekend after Thanksgiving usually too. I am not sure if we will this year, we live with my husband's parents and well we're not sure if we can get everyone together / where we'll have Christmas. My FIL's side tends to not get together until after Christmas, and my MIL's side we usually rotate, but since we usually have thanksgiving with MIL's side we may have thanksgiving here and christmas at grandma's... we just don't know yet... so that all depends on whether we bother putting a tree up or not. Though I know when we get our own house I intend to even if I have to do it alone because there was too many christmases that my family didn't do Christmas, and I love the joy (and hassle) of decorating a tree!

I tend to wait maybe a week or so after Thanksgiving to put up the tree in the house. I'll decorate the outside and such a few days after i sleep off all that Turkey, and save the tree for last.

i'm chinese,in our places, we do not buy christmas tree,but for the mall or other large shop, they would like to do.always put it up before one week of christmas day.for me, we would prepare more when our new year would be coming, we will clean our house before one week, and buy our new clothers and shopping,then store full of the food in our fridge before new year.on new year, we will cooking more food to eat,some is very expensive,we shall be eating together until everyone all finishing.at night, we will set the fireworks on the sky.our family would like to sit in front of the tv to see Spring Festival Gala Evening together.the time go by so fast, the Christmas and the new year would be approaching.good luck and have a nice day!

hi there, you may think it's weird but I put up my Christmas tree very early. By the month of September i started putting up my Christmas Decorations. I just love Christmas so much that i want to enjoy the essence of the season for a long while. I even sometimes wish that everyday is Christmas.

Hiya rosepedal. I usually get mine out ready a few days before if the family are coming then I let the children decorate it on Christmas Eve. If the family are not coming I usually do it half way through December. They are supposed to be coming this year but I've heard nothing. I just don't think I'm up to the effort and the expense this year.

We wait until after Thanksgiving, actually somwhere around the 10th-15th of December. The reason we wait so long is for the Christmas tree because we get a real one every year. The tree is the only thing we wait on. The other decorations start going up around the end of November. My son and I do it every year, he is 18 now but says he still wants to help with the decorating.

We always put ours up the day after Christmas. It is a nice day to do it. My husband has the day off of work and the kids are home from school so everyone is home. Plus the fridge is full of already cooked food that just needs heated up so the day has a lot less stress in store for me because I don't have to worry about cooking dinner or anything. It is a nice day to do it and it a day that we earmark every year just for that purpose.

I wish we could put up our christmas tree two weeks earlier than December 1st, to experience a longer christmas. My grand daughter is very excited about christmas trees seen at the malls that when at home kept on nagging us of putting up our christmas tree. So by next week maybe our christmas tree will start the happy season at home.

We already have a Christmas tree in our house. We always put up Christmas decorations early. It feels nice because as early as November we could already feel Christmas approaching. I hope this year's Christmas would be a happy one for me and my loved ones.

If I have a fake tree I do it the day after thanksgiving. I usually start pulling out the boxes about this time and then slowly put some up each week. By the first week of December it should just about be done. We love Christmas and decorate every part of our house. It is our tradition.

I like to get it up right around Thanksgiving...for when the fam comes over to eat!

Usually a week before christmas

We usually put up our tree around December 1st. There isn't really a reason, that's just when we start to feel like it's Christmas season.

We usually don't put up a tree until after Thanksgiving. When I was a kid we'd spend the week of Thanksgiving giving the house a really good cleaning over and then on Friday, we'd start putting out decorations and putting them up around the house and in the front lawn. However, people are older, I'm not at home so that doesn't happen here much anymore. We tend to get them put up whenever we can. I hope that at my apartment I can start doing it how I want when I want.

Hi Rose. I love the atmosphere Christmas lights and decorations give to the house in our Michigan winters, so I put the tree up shortly after Thanksgiving and leave it until just after the New Year holiday. Love to enjoy it as long as possible :) Karen

dear rose, would you believe, i have my christmas tree up now? it lessens the stress from the office when i get home. just looking at it with the flickering lights gets me to feel very good. and when grandchild visits, i can see how it lifts her spirit. i start buying and wrapping the gifts and place then at the foot of the tree. ann

Hello rosepedal64, Actually I'm planning to set it up next week. Christmas for me has always been the most exciting event of the year. I love Christmas, for me it's the happiest season of the year! and i also love trimming the tree.

We usually put up our Christmas tree around the first week of November. Since last Christmas though we haven't taken our Christmas tree down. so we felt Christmas all year round.
