When will your Christmas tree go up?

[lanejudy]

We’ll buy a live tree in early December but then stick it in a snowbank or bucket of water until the weekend before Christmas. It stays up until Twelfth Night.

I usually put my tree up the day after Thanksgiving, but this year dealing with the pandemic, I think I will put it up November 1st! (That is the plus side of having a fake tree!)

Probably a few days before Christmas, if we manage to get one at all. I'm from a family of procrastinators.

All of my Christmas stuff will be going up November 27th, 28th and 29th. Then will come down January 9th and 10th.

Planning on going and looking at getting a new fake tree within the next two weeks at Menards, finally going with a pre-lit one.

If you put one up, when will you put up your tree this year? We will be gone 10-11 days in December for WDW and I hate that we'll miss out on enjoying our decorations. We are taking a small tacky pop up Charlie Brownish tree with us, but want to enjoy our home decorations, too!

I am considering mid-November, but won't put on a full display until the day after Thanksgiving. At least we can enjoy the tree inside for a couple of extra weeks that way.

I put out the Holloween inflatables and decorations 2nd week of August. My xmas tree is going up in the Foyer next week.

Great question. No clue.

We used to be the type that would do it after Thanksgiving or early December.
Then it became around the 2nd week of December. Then one year, we did it the week of December.
Last year, we were barely here for the month of December, it really just never felt like Christmas at home until AFTER Christmas was gone.
Luckily, half of the family doesn't come until after Christmas, so we get to do it all over again.

Tree is typically put up around mid-December. But we put up our outdoor decorations (large display) beginning Thanksgiving weekend. Usually takes us about a week to get them all up.

We ordered one from Balsam Hill with clear and colored lights. You can alternate or have all on. It was beautiful when we tested it when it delivered!

I normally do it on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but with this being 2020 it will probably go up the Saturday before.

 

[DisneyJamieCA]

We have an artificial tree so I’ll probably put it up November 1st because why not.

Usually Thanksgiving weekend (either directly before or directly after depending on if we’re traveling). But this year, I think it’s all going up Nov 1st. It brings me joy and I’m all about finding that this year. We’re not having anybody over for Thanksgiving, so nobody to be offended. And we have fake trees, so no worry about them drying out.

Decorations go up first week of November. Tree goes up as soon as we get back from Disney. Hate waiting so long, but we don’t want our cats to destroy it when we’re not home! I can’t wait!!!!

We literally just talked about this! I realized we are going to have to move our tree to a closed room before we go!!

Sometime in December. I love Christmas, but HATE decorating. The kids constantly pester me!

 

[Disneyland1084]

A couple of days before Thanksgiving.

 

[RamblingMad]

The problem with Christmas trees isn’t putting them up. It’s taking them down. It’s not fun to remove decorations. One year I left it up all year. It wasn’t worth the hassle of taking it down.

I am not in favour of mixing holidays. One holiday at a time! You see in the Nightmare before Christmas how things can go wrong when you mix holidays.

As mentioned in the obscure holiday thread, in NL we have a holiday on the 5th of December with its own decorations, songs, movies. So in my house nothing Christmassy before the 6th.
(And I am not a Christmas person, so probably no decorations at all, but if I did, not before the 6th)

 

[TCRAIG]

We usually buy our tree Thanksgiving weekend, however, we keep it outside in water til mid December when we’ll bring it inside and decorate...other inside and our outside decorations go up that same Thanksgiving weekend...our usual WDW time is first week of Dec...

 

[ronandannette]

The weekend closest to December 15 - same as always. We put all the decorations up, indoors and out, on the same day and take them down at once too, just after Epiphany.

Thanksgiving at my parents has become our Christmas with family, so we have kind of lost Turkey Day along the line.

My daughter puts up our tree and decorates it, always on the Friday after Thanksgiving Day.
