myLot reputation of 99/100. rosepedal64 (1336)   ranked 16 out of 19,161 in questions & answers4 weeks ago

Hello mylotters. I know that it may be a little early to ask such a question,but with me moving all my stuff out of storage into the gargage where we moved it got me to thinking about Christmas stuff. I had the hubby to make sure that all my boxes and totes that was labled Christmas to put them where I could reach them. I always put up my tree the weekend after Thanksgiving. That will be around the end of this month. So mylotters when do you put up your tree?

I have an artifical tree which I put up the weekend just before Christmas. I do not take it down until the first weekend in January. Seeing as it is just me and my husband we only have a very small aritifical tree. We go to my son for Christmas day dinner and opening of gifts.

Oh that sounds nice. I bet you always look forward in going to your sons. I have the artificial tree that we put up as well, and of course all the decorations. It is just me and my hubby too but hey I guess Im still a kid at heart. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day. Keep smiling.

In my country we Filipinos feel the spirit of Christmas when "ber" start. happy But often we start putting Christmas decors after Halloween because we often spend our days at the cemetery, we camp. happy My mom was not in the mood to put Christmas decors so i initiated it and can't wait to add more decors. I love Christmas so much. thumbup

Hi rosepedal64.

With reference to you question, we usually set-up our christmas tree at home around mid-month of November. We normally set it up on the mid-month to honour and respect the All Saints Day as well as the All Souls Day which starts during the 1st and 2nd of November.

There is no specific day or date when to set it up. Sometimes a week after the latter, we normally brings out the stuff and start to assemble the christmas tree little by little. Aside from that, we also start to express the spirit of christmas over the telephone - at our home, instead of just saying "good morning" we try to say "merry christmas - good morning ".

Well, merry christmas to you.


myLot reputation of 99/100. rosepedal64 (1336)   ranked 16 out of 19,161 in questions & answers  4 weeks ago

I always try to wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving. I have always done this since I was younger and my mom done this too. So I guess it is a kinda of tradition within the family. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day. Keep smiling.

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.


myLot reputation of 99/100. rosepedal64 (1336)   ranked 16 out of 19,161 in questions & answers  4 weeks ago

Hey that sounds like a plan. Put it up and just give a quick dusting every month. I don't think that would work in my house. But I like the thought of having christmas feelings all year long. I appreciate your sharing your thoughts. Have a nice evening and keep smiling.

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.
