When do you put your tree up?


TeagansMom609 wrote: I think this year we will buy a nice fake tree because I know if we got a real one Teagan would probably eat the needles that fall off. Plus I dont feel like having to vacuum every day. So anyway, since im so in the Xmas spirit this year and we will most likely have a fake tree, I would like to put it up right after Thanksgiving.

gr33n3y3z replied: I put right after thanksgiving BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have a huge tree and we also got over the summer two full size couches
So I'm not sure what were going to do because the tree wont fit in the living room
I tought about putting the tree on the deck but it would blow away and that would not be fun. So were having a tree but we have to figure out a big problem lol
I told my daughter were probably going to get a smaller tree this year and she said thats so gay why dont we get rid of a couch and we can put the big one up. She is pi$$ed lol

coasterqueen replied: We always put ours up Thanksgiving weekend. I was actually going to have Dh put it up this weekend since he just finished painting the great room last night but he just told me he wants to have the great room carpet cleaned before Thanksgiving. rolleyes.gif Not sure if we can get it done since Thanksgiving is just a few days away. If we do we'll put it up Thanksgiving weekend, if we don't get it cleaned then we'll have to wait a bit longer. sad.gif

5littleladies replied: Day after Thanksgiving! My kids are so excited. Ok, I'm a little bit excited too. wink.gif

mummy2girls replied: I didnt vote because my thanksgiving is in oct...LOL. Anyways i do put mine up dec 1st usually. but this year i just had a urge to do it now. so its up now...LOL

kit_kats_mom replied: ummmm. We've had ours up for two weeks. blush.gif

Honestly, we are so pressed for time & not knowing when Lauren may show up, travelling for thanksgiving etc, that DH asked if he could pull all the christmas stuff out two weeks ago. LOL We put the tree up with lights that night and I've slowly been going though the boxes and hanging a few things every couple of days. We just spent an hour this evening helping K hang the ornaments but we still need to do other stuff. rolleyes.gif

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Traditionally my family has always gone and gotten our tree the saturday after Thanksgiving and then decorated it the next day. This year hubby and I will probably go get ours either day day after Thanksgiving or on Sunday because on Sat. we'll be at my parent's house. Last year we went and cut our own - we were going to tag one this year so we could get a really good one to cut on our own but time sort of slipped away. rolleyes.gif Hopefully all the good ones won't be taken allready!! wink.gif

Boys r us replied: We have two trees. "MY TREE" which is a 12 ft tall fake tree, we put up right after thanksgiving and it goes in the foyer. I'm the only one who is allowed to decorate this tree, as it is the "pretty tree"! The real christmas tree that goes in the living room is one we go cut down and in the name of not having a completely dried out, dead tree christmas day, we don't put it up until about 2 weeks before christmas.
That's the kids tree and they can decorate it anyway they want.

MomToMany replied: Ours goes up right after Thansgiving, usually sometime that weekend.

3xsthefun replied: We usually don't put ours up until a week or two before Christmas. blush.gif We get a "live" tree is why.

I forgot to say we have a little fake tree I may bring it out sometime this week. biggrin.gif

My2Beauties replied: We always get real trees (I love the smell of a real christmas tree, and they are so full and beautiful), so we put ours up about 2--3 weeks before Christmas!

MomToJade&Jordan replied: Ours usually goes up right after Thanksgiving. With that said I better go dig out all of the Christmas stuff. It's stacked up way in the back of our downstairs storage closet.

jolene555 replied: since we haven't really done christmas at home, i didn't vote. this year looks like we won't be able to afford any type of tree, BUT while the kids are little I adore the idea of having santa put up the tree. Makes the day more special, and takes away from the fact that we cannot afford to put much under the tree.

3_call_me_mama replied: DH is actually putting it up right now.... we bought a fake one after much pleading on his part.... it's actually really pretty, but we won't decorate it until this weekend, cause we can't get to the decorations!

favre4fan replied: i usually put ours up after thanksgiving and it will be perfect this weekend the boys will be around and it is mine and Austins birthday so we will just have one big celebration!!
