Do you religiously put up a Christmas tree for the holidays?

I always put up a Christmas tree. I used to put up an 8 foot tree every year and I put 1500 lights on it. I did it in a way that I could have the tree a different color every night. Then I wound up buying a 9 foot pre-lit tree. I used that only once. Then I bought me a table top tree to make things easier.

Not putting up a tree isn't even an option for me, lol. I love it and my son loves it, so we usually go all out, especially with the lights! Any surface that can be reasonably lit is generally dripping with little lights by christmas. Or ribbons, garlands, ornaments, etc.

We pretty much try to have a Christmas tree every year. It's something that we like to have. My husband and I especially want one this year, as we now have a little baby girl. So we feel that we have more reason to have a Christmas tree this year.

We've always put up our Christmas tree the first weekend of December each year. We've done this ever since I was a kid. Now that I have a son of my own, I still continue that family tradition of ours. Our tree however had gotten smaller. It's only 4 feet. Taller trees are a bit expensive plus we really don't have enough space for it now.

When my kids were small it was a tradition to put up a Christmas tree. I enjoyed it some because I could watch them enjoy it so much! I loved pulling the collections of the Christmas ornaments they had made through the years. But once they grew up I just didn't want to mess with putting it up and taking it down any more! I did actually want to get a tree last night for this year... just feel more Christmas-y right now.. not even sure why. I hate all the craziness that goes on this time of year and will refuse to shop until well after New Years! lol!

Actually, no. We haven't put up a Christmas tree for years. We were never in the habit of buying new decorations each year so when the decorations we had became old, and when the tree itself became brittle (we've only ever had one tree - back when I was a kid), we stopped putting it up. And so what we did, just so you could distinguish the Christmas season from the regular days in our house, we put up a belen and a few Christmas lights. That's about it. =P

Our christmas tree goes up two weeks before christmas and comes down just after new year before my husband returns to work after his christmas holiday break

I use the plastic tree which isn't as good as the real thing but, not as heavy and no needles. My son enjoys it just as much and I enjoy the clean up. I used to be afraid of the clean up and the removal of the tree but now mine folds up into it's box and waits for next year. It is a whole lot cheaper than real trees. Mine has the lights already strewn so I don't have to untangle the horror of cords. You might want to try it.
