    Every year my husband goes upstate hunting the day after Thanksgiving and is gone for a week so we wait until early December to put the tree up. And, I take it down the day after Christmas... my family acts like I'm a scroogey killjoy for not leaving it up until after New Years but I'm always in a hurry to get it back down.

    I usually try to get decorations up either the weekend after Thanksgiving or the following weekend. Then the goal is to get them down before New Years. We don't do a whole lot, just a tree and stockings so it doesn't take all that long.

    I did mine Nov. 1st. This is was a little earlier because we were excited to see our 9 month old twins reaction to the tree. It was priceless :)
  • If my hubs had it his way there would never be a tree. I would say the first week of December.

    About 2 weeks before Christmas. I hate the way it's dragged out these days!

    Not until after Dec. 11 - our son's birthday. Although the tree (live) is usually in the stand defrosting by the 11th.

    I also take it down before New Years - I love Christmas, but, one tree a year is good.
