When will you start putting up your Christmas Tree?

we usually put up our tree around the first week of december or so and take it down right after new years. i find it to be such a chore (dont get me wrong, i love christmas) but its a lot of hard work!

wow! seems so soon - and I LOVE Christmas! lol

We typically put our tree up around Thanksgiving. Usually right after. Then we take it down a few weeks into the new year. We have a fake tree, so I enjoy keeping it up as long as we can!

HI Nrtan,

I never putting up a christmas tree in my whole life.So I can tell you that I am not celebrating Christmas.
For me, Christmas is just another day,it is public holiday and also my family day as my husband gets off from work too.

Normally, I will spent my christmas at my hometown for the past few years.There are nothing special.No celebration and just like a normal day for me.

Only during Chinese New Year,then I will feel the joyness and always looking forward to it every year.

Hi..nrtan

The Christmas and the Celebrations are an excitement. In my Childhood we used to wait for the Christmas Vacations for the preparations of the Christmas Tree, Crib and the Stars. We used to put homemade Stars and the Crib. Our christmas Tree was one Beautiful Tree in our Courtyyard. We used to decorate it beautifully. Nowadays, we will get everything readymade.
Nowadays my children will start the preparations in the mid December and will keep the Star, christmas Tree and the Crib till 15th of January

Our Christmas tree will not go up before the 4th of December. The reason for this is that my daughter's birthday is on the 4th of December and I like to be able to keep her birthday and Christmas as seperate as possible. I was devestated that she was born that close to Christmas and I was afraid that her birthday would frequently be forgotten because of all the preparations for Christmas. Therefore, we don't start any of our Christmas traditions until after we've celebrated her birthday.

We usually get all the Christmas stuff out on Thanksgiving or the day after. Then we start decorating for Christmas. It takes us several days because we have so much stuff and we like to put a few things outside and do the house and make it all pretty and festive!

We actually have to buy ourselves a tree. This is our first year officially living together so we do not have a tree to speak of. I'm hoping that we'll get ahold of a tree pretty soon. We were just at Walmart and they are starting to put out some Christmas decorations, so I'm truly hoping that they'll have trees soon and we can make a decision about what tree to buy.

I don't put a chirstmas tree at home because my apartment is too small... there is just no room for one... i also don't put any christmas decorations because i do not have time to clean them... so my apartment is just the same all year round... holiday or no holiday... but i do play christmas music from time to time...

I'm always excited about christmas, our neighbors are starting to put up their christmas lights at their windows and verandas. Before we used to decorate at the end of November but maybe this time since we have old christmas decors and just add little new ones we may start decorating after All Souls Day and also start putting up our Christmas Tree. It's much inspiring having an early welcome of Christmas and feeling it on the air by seeing decorations around the house. This offers positive vibrations of having a Merry Christmas ahead.

I usually put my Christmas tree up the first week of Dec. I love to decorate the tree and bring in the Christmas feeling but I always have to do it alone. My family just doesn't get into it. Even if I try and hold a little party they just don't like doing it. This is far from how I grew up! My mom always liked to put the tree up right after Thanksgiving. She would have a decorating party and fix little appetizers for us to munch while we decorated.
This year will be different though. We are moving. However we're not sure when. Supposedly sometime in Dec. I don't know if I should decorate anyway and just take the decorations down or just not do it this year. It's also been a tradition for us to leave the Christman tree up until after New Years for good luck. Has anyone else heard of this tradition?
Whatever you decide it is nice to hear about people getting excited about Christmas! It is a wonderful time of year!
