I usually pull the tree out the day after Thanksgiving and try to set it up that weekend. I'd love to have a real one, but we can't.

I usually have at least one up the weekend after Thanksgiving. (I usually have 2 or 3). The others kind of depends on if I get real trees or not. If I decide to get real ones then I get those about 2-3 wks before Christmas.

We usually go to the Christmas tree farm,either the first or second weekend in December. It is so much fun to pick and cut our own tree. And also alot cheaper than getting one already cut. We pay $28 no matter the size,compared to $60,what we would pay for a tree the same size we usually get. Frasier firs always LOL

I never put it up before Thanksgiving.......actually I don't think I've ever put it up in the month of November.
I just put it up when the spirit hits me.

I got one free from craigs list last week and it's killin me not havin it up. I am sure & wont be able to hold up through the weekend though. This is my fav time of year and all the lights just make me happy.

Maybe not at all. Didn't last year cause I honestly don't like my tree... it's been around a while and no longer looks good. I know that's a horrible excuse... but I don't need a tree to celebrate Christ!
