I decorate the weekend after Thanksgiving but usually wait until a week or two before Christmas to do the tree. I have pets (plus kids, but they are good about the tree) and the tree takes up a lot of space. I have a fake tree. I know several people who put theirs up right after Halloween, including some of my family members. They also have fake trees.

For those who are putting up the tree in November, are you using a real or fake tree? I would be afraid that the pine leaves would fall by the end of Dec.

Ours goes up some time during Thanksgiving weekend and comes down at Epiphany.

thanksgiving w/e if we are around. a lot of lights go up in our Bethesda neighborhood then too.

if we are not hosting, then we are then only around until a few days before xmas then travel to see family. so want to enjoy it and the dark, early nights!

We begin decorating the Sunday after thanksgiving (wreaths, lights, Christmas dishes). The tree usually goes up the following weekend and stays up through New Years.

Ideally up two weeks before Christmas (always on a weekend, so adjust accordingly), down on NYD.

It's already snowing in my home state and my FB friends are already putting theirs up.

After DD birthday in mid-December. Takes up too much room in our small house to also have a bday party here.

Up the 1st or second wknd in December. Comes down after New Years.

It goes up the weekend after Thanksgiving, and goes down on New Years Day.

We put ours up on Thanksgiving. We don't have a big family thing to go to, so we eat lunch and then put up the tree.

I take it down between Christmas and New Year's Day.

OP here:

I've been known to put up a tree before Thanksgiving. I know there are a lot of people who don't like it when Thanksgiving gets lost in the shadow of Christmas. But, I'm one of those who likes to decorate for the holiday season...especially since my birthday is in early December. I like to have "Christmasy"' decorations up through Thanksgiving, my birthday, and Christmas. But, I do not want any Christmas decorations up by NYE. I'm not superstitious at all. It's just that it becomes a burden or chore after that point.

Anywhere between Thanksgiving and the middle of December. It depends on when we first have a chunk of weekend time to get the tree and set it up.

We put it up the weekend after Thanksgiving. I usually take it down either the 26th or 27th.

This question assumes that you celebrate Christmas.

I'm just curious because I like to put up a tree very early, since I get antsy to take it done shortly after Christmas.
