When is everyone putting up their Christmas trees?

[Jedimastermama]

Or is it too soon to be asking

Today I sorted through all our decorations and was thinking about a date.
We don’t go for a fresh tree but we will be away over Christmas so I want to put the tree up soon!

Get those twinkle lights out ✨

The first weekend in December

Do the people who put their tree up right before Christmas and leave it up well in January do so for religious reasons?
I'm not religious. We will be getting our decorations out in early December (no specific date). I don't take them down until Twelfth Night (or later) because to me it's still Christmas. School doesn't go back until the 7 January next year (ours anyway), so it is still school holidays too. I have left some decorations up until Candlemas before.

January is just cold and dark with nothing to look forward to, but as long as the decorations are up then it's still Christmas!

Last year we decorated on 1st December as we were asked to put everything up for estate agent photos. This year DS finishes school on 14th December and we will be decorating on Monday and Tuesday of the following week. Decorations stay up until 12th night.

Around 10 days-2 weeks before Christmas day.

Goes up first weekend in December, comes down first weekend in January (or on the second if we are off work)

Most of my family take theirs down day after Boxing Day- but to me NY is still part of the festive season and couldn’t imagine celebrating it without a tree in front of the fire nursing a hangover on NYD!

December 12th. As is traditional in my family

It won't come down until early Jan though as we have to travel to see family until NYE

Husband is working loads over December this year so getting the decorations down and up on the 29th November. A little early but I'd rather him be here when they go up

We will be doing my in laws decorations next weekend, my MIL loves Christmas and is going in for a huge operation in the next couple of weeks so won’t be able to do anything so myself and SIL are going to do it to cheer her up.
The decorations at my house won’t be going up until the 20th December though.

First weekend of December. Before then is just too early.

The week before Christmas usually. DH will be out putting the external lights on the house (plain, gold, non-flashing) for the start of advent though - it takes him that long to do, he'll have them up for as long as is vaguely respectable.

Beginning of December or at least first weekend.
Always down 2 January .

I put ours up the last day of November. I think its lovely the kids waking up on the 1st and the house being decorated with the calendars waiting. We don't really have a set day for taking them down but never do it before the 30th. Normally we take them down either the 2nd or 3rd of January but have done it on the 30th of December if it would mean leaving them up way into January.

I really don't understand peoples comments on here about this though. 'You'll be bored by Christmas eve' , 'what's the point'. Some people obviously like it and don't get bored. Does it really matter what others do? I'm not saying don't have an opinion, for me, now is to soon....I also find Christmas Eve would be to late.....but that's just my preference, wouldn't think much of it if others did that. Its just the snipy comments that make me .

I agree with another poster too, for me Christmas starts way before the actual day. We do Christmas crafts, days out, movie nights etc all through December, we celebrate the whole month. I absolutely adore it and will admit I spend most of November waiting for December!

I'm putting ours up Sunday 25th of November. I've got 1 week holiday and then into full busy for the rest of the year. So I'm going to make the most of it, new house and all new decorations. Planned the whole day, music playing in the background and then when it's all done sit down to watch a Christmas movie and eat Christmas snacks with all the Christmas lights on. Every year im always so busy i bearly
have time to glance at tree then it's time to take it down again, and I so love Christmas and I'll never get bored of tree. So ill be sucking up all christmas i can get over that week off.

Oh and we take tree down newyears eve or new years day. Ideally new years day. I like that magical bit inbetween celebrations and like tree to still be up. Reminds me of childhood when times where more relaxed and all shops were closed over Christmas and you could enjoy the holidays.

We usually put ours up the first weekend in December and it's usually always down before new year [santa]
This year with a one year old however I have a feeling it might be down even earlier if I can keep it in one piece that long 😂

The last Saturday of November

Probably first weekend in December. After that our weekends are really busy

Ours goes up first weekend in December or last November which ever one is closer to the 1st then I'm itching to get them down Boxing Day. First year with out 10 month old puppy so I'm sure I will want it up for the least amount of time possible

Ours will be up the weekend of the 16th-18th November, sorry for anyone that offends

December 9th I think

1st weekend in December, mostly for DD's benefit. Baby DS might enjoy the lights too.

I like it but do look forward to taking it down again!

Up first weekend in December, down 27th December

Last weekend in November. I love them!

Ours goes up the second weekend in December, and always taken down on New Years day
