Christmas trees.... when does your get put up?

We usually put up the tree 2-3 weeks befor christmas. I get a real one so it can only be in the house a couple weeks. We go as a family and pick out aor tree at a tree farm and cut the one we want. Im going to go for a big one this year. I have more space in my new house so I want the biggest I can get! LOL

Before I got 3 cats, I used to put my christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving. And, I didn't take it down until after January 1. I love Christmas and all the decorations. Now that I have 3 cats, I cannot have a christmas tree inside. I am thinking about putting on on the front porch and putting outdoor lights on it and a few sturdy ornaments.

My daughter and I put ours up the day after thanksgiving, its been a tradition for us..

When the kids were younger, and before my husband passed away. We would put the tree up a week after Thanksgiving. Now that I live alone. I will put my little charlie Brown tree up about 2 weeks before christmas, as well as my christmas village. Not really into to many decorations anymore. I don't get a lot of company as I work a lot. And I take everything down , a week after christmas.

hi there beutfulmama6701 my christmas tree does go up about 1st of december and my kittens i am worried about cause they might climb the christmas tree it happened to one kitten awhile back last year and i dont wont to go througth that again cause they take the decortions down then i have to put it up again thanks for this dsicussion

we don't set up our christmas tree at home since my mom went to cavite to find a job there. 2003 up to this year we will experience blue christmas since my mom will not be home.GBU

Growing up we always did it right after Thanksgiving. My oldest daughter's birthday is in the beginning of December so it kind of became a tradition to put it up as part of her birthday or right after. This year I'm not sure when it will happen. S/o's parents are supposed to leave sometime in December but I haven't heard anything about it in a few weeks. She usually puts hers up whenever she gets a chance and it comes down the very day after Christmas at the latest. I'm really hoping we get to do our own tree this year. I like to leave my tree up until New Year's day...plus I have different taste in ornaments and really miss mine.

well we put our up around the 2nd week of december because i don't want it to die too soon if i put it up too early.pattie

My dad would buy one in the begining of the december and I am sure he will pick up the highest one they have, like every year. But I think this time they want cut one from our yard we had, because it got pretty big. Be would put it to the garage and put it insede maybe 2-3 days before the 24-th. And we would decorate it with my brother. But this Christmas I would be in usa so I see how it all will be this year.

I put up my Christmas tree the first weekend in December. Any earlier than that and I get so use to seeing it that it isn't special anymore. I want to make it keep it's Christmas spirit. I take my tree down after the new year.

when I was still in the Philippines, our Christmas tree is already up as early as October but right now we will have ours here after the Thanksgiving. Hubby said that's the time when people here usually put up their Christmas decorations.

hi there beutfulmama6701 i put my christmas tree up at 1 of december i think now is too early but in Australia we dont have thanksgiving can you tell me what does that mean maybe i might get the decorations early and they are selling those and they are also got toys in shopping centres already i might do my christmas shopping on december 23 or 24 so at least my children wont open the presents early thanks for this discussion

Until now I don't know when to put up our christmas tree. My aunt is busy and so does uncle. I had just enrolled my 2nd sem so I am always in school. The only thing that shows christmas in our house was the christmas light hanging on the gate. That is the only thing. But I believe, it is not the christmas tree that will put worths to the celebration of the coming of our savior, its the relationships and faith though it will somehow add colors and excitement.....

Our chrismas tree gets put up on the first of december! It kinda sucks because it's right before my birthday but it's still fun. We cant wait for the snow fall because I live in Australia where it doesn't snow, it's nice and hot around christmas time!

We usually put our christmas tree up on or around the 6th of December. And it comes down no later than 6th January. (little christmas). I prefer putting it up rather than takin it down!!! :-)
