We put ours up last weekend. I usually wait until at least 2 weeks before Christmas, but we'll be at WDW then! Thanksgiving weekend was the only logical time for me to do it as this weekend I'll be preparing for our trip and there's only 6 days after we get home until it would have to be done.
Its my baby's first Christmas...and I'm very sad I couldn't do a real, live tree this year....but we planned this before we knew she'd be coming. I've had a huge live tree for each of my other kids' first Christmases. And this one is also our first in our house! Ah, well, there's always next year.
Whoops, just realized I'm on the wrong board....well, hello from the states anyway!
