When do you guys get your Christmas tree?

How many days/weeks before Christmas?

Maybe even right after Thanksgiving, when i usually get mine. 

[Frostgage 7,972]

We usually get one about a week into December.

[iceestarz 5,752]

My family is basic and has a fake one. We put it up about a week or two before Thanksgiving. Though I think next Christmas we're gonna get a real one.

[Kapitan zur See Hans (Daz) 883]

We get one about 6 days before so it doesn't start to die. I mean don't want to have it turn brown on Christmas Day.

[The Mint Pone 2,292]

We put up a fake christmas tree about a month before Christmas and don't end up taking it down till mid January XD woop! Christmas!

[Wind Chaser 4,767]

Ours has been the same artificial tree for a few years, and it has been stored in the basement usually until Thanksgiving, however this year it's going to be a little late because of other things.

 

So usually, we'd have to have it ready by Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving weekend at the latest.

I thibk we put it up in the beginning of December. It used to be much taller, but it was too tall to decorate, so we use one less "trunk" (it's artificial). It'll look nice .

[SparklingSwirls 21,267]

We usually put ours up a week or so into December.

 

It's a small artifical tree so it's easy to put up and take down.

[Larkybird~ 734]

When the current one starts falling apart as in like, branches are messed up, a bunch of lights stop working.

As for when we put it up,a day or so after thanksgiving.

[Envy 6,004]

If we even get one up, it depends. When I was little we used to do it the day after Thanksgiving. But 2007 and beyond it's been mixed. One year we had a real one, and it was really pretty. Most years we haven't put one up at all. After 2007 that 'magic' was lost completely.

We usually get our Christmas tree after Thanksgiving when we start decorating the house. Before Thanksgiving is just too early for me.

My family owns a fake Christmas tree, so we can put it up whenever we like.

 

We usually put it up on my birthday, though.

In my house, we like getting real trees every year. Usually, we put one up anywhere between a week to 2 weeks before Christmas, and it usually stays up past New Years.

[Castle_Cross 331]

We've been using the same fake free for like 6 years xD, though this is the second Christmas we won't put a tree

[Neutral 1,185]

I have a fake tree which I put up at Christmas Eve by myself

[Discordian 6,013]

We have a fake one but some years we just don't put it up. I don't care to put them up, decorate them and all that in spite of my love of decorations.

 

When I'm finally living on my own there will be no Christmas tree ever.

[DATA EXPUNGED 324]

I usually buy one on the first of december, and take it down, chop it up, and burn it the day after boxing day.

[Tameless 979]

We usually put up our Christmas tree the first week of December.

 

It's a fake tree but it beats having to water it and manage it.

[Kurael 43]

Well my family has a fake palm tree as Christmas tree

Does that count? 0_0

 

Also it stays in a corner of the saloon everytime so we dont actually put it up

;P

[~Silver Essence~ 2,621]

My family usually buys one on the first day of December

 

To them, it's been a tradition to do so, at home depot, they carefully pick out their choice, and become happy for the month

[Clover Heart 978]

My family has an artificial tree. Because stagnant water, sap in the carpet and stepping on pine needles well into April was nobody's idea of fun. They typically put it up about two weeks before Christmas and take it down the day after New Year's.

[Creamy Arty 6,251]

We always got our Christmas tree the first weekend of December. It was also a real tree, so we couldn't get it too early or it would be mostly dead by the time Christmas arrived. My insistence on a real tree is why we always got one. My parents would have preferred one that was artificial for the sake of convenience, but I love the smell of them. So does the dog; he would always sniff the tree and lick it.

 

This year they put up an artificial tree and that happened about a week before Thanksgiving. I can appreciate why some people would still prefer to wait, but Christmas trees and decorations do a lot to lift the mood of the house, and are generally delightful to look at. Nothing wrong with jumping on that as soon as possible, imo.

[~Chaos~ 3,966]

Sometime in December, we had a mini tree one year. It was awesome.

[ghostfacekiller39 23,857]

We have one we reuse year after year. It's one of those artificial ones It serves its purpose well and is easy and fun to decorate and doesn't cause allergy problems like a real one

I also have a little replica of the tree from the Charlie Brown Christmas thingy I put up in my room I think it's cool.

[Pinkie-Sparkle 254]

I guess after the 5th of December. We have another holiday before christmas first, so I'll wait till that one is over and I'll get mine
