we don't even have one anymore; last year we had cats and they climbed up it and knocked it over so many times it wouldnt stand upright, lol. so i need to get a new one. unfortunately this stupid house has these freakishly low ceilings, like at or under 6 foot. so we can't have a tall one. my dad has an awesome one that my mom didnt take with her when she moved out, its gorgeous; it's fake but has a real wood trunk that smells real and has whit lights (hate colored) but its like 8 foot tall so i cant have it. :( But i told my dad to keep it because someday when i get my dreamhouse i'm so stealing it, lol. he doesn't care. he's not planning on even putting it up.
we'll probablly get one next month on the first.
 
day after thanksgiving. I have a fake tree but I think I am going to buy one of those tabletop ones. I just havent been much in a christmas mood the last few years. I want to do a tree this year though and cant really have those large ones because the cats knock them over and climb them. I figure with a small table-top I can do the tree like I want and not spend a fortune on decorations if I want to change it every year
 
We usually do ours the day after Thanksgiving here. But, we'll be out of town. So, we'll probably do ours on December 1st since we'll be getting home late the night before!
 
We go pick out a live tree the day after thanksgiving! I am getting so excited now! I love the whole feel of the Christmas season!
 
i wish i could do real trees, but those needles and the smell send my winter allergies into a frenzy. :( we have a big tall tree, like 9 feet, maybe that we'll put up thanksgiving weekend. gollie gee i love christmas!
 
Do we have to talk about this now? LOL! It's bad enough all the stores are skipping Thanksgiving all together :(

We get a live tree, usually the week after Thanksgiving.
 
I love Christmas decorating!!! I have artificial trees, and we put them up the weekend after thanksgiving. I have two full size trees and two smaller ones.
 
we do a fake, pre-lit tree and it won't go up until after our little guy's b-day (Dec 10th) in a feeble attempt to keep the celebrations separate. it's tough making a b-day special when it's so close to xmas, but we do our best. thankfully he's still so young that it doesn't really matter much to him... but I'm sure it will down the road.
 
Jeff has a fake tree somewhere. We'll be at my parents' for Thanksgiving, but I think he has his son through the whole weekend, so I'd imagine we'd put it up that weekend once we got home.
 
We do it the day after Thanksgiving. I'm SO ready to start already though, what is wrong with me?

Ours broke last year too. Right after we finished opening presents I was sitting next to it putting together toys and it fell on me! LOL

I know Col. I hate it. Seems like it is earlier and earlier every year. Walmart started playing Christmas music ON HALLOWEEN. :thumbdown:
 
I usually try to wait until the last moment to put up the tree since I know that DH will leave it up until May. (No, really. He took it down in May this year.:glare: ) My mom's going to be here for Thanksgiving though, so I'll have DH drag out the tree the day after so that she can enjoy decorating the tree with the boys. We're not going out there for Christmas this year, so this will have to suffice.
 
dude, i'm so ready for Christmas... but we'll wait until the day after thanksgiving.

We have low ceilings too, it stinks. I think they are 8ft. So our tree is like a 7' tree I think. One day I'll have a nice big full one.
 
I usually put ours up the Monday after the last weekend in November, but that will be December 1st...too late for me, so I'll probably put it up on the 28th since the girls will be going with my MIL overnight. I have to put up my MILs too and because she needs (wants) everything decorated before her Flying Club party (which isn't even at her house), I'll probably end up doing hers mid-November. She makes excuses why she needs her stuff up so early, but I know she's just excited LOL
 
Ours will go up sometime during the weekend after Thanksgiving. :thumbup: I love decorating for Christmas! :)
 
then I am too totally embarassed to say. I'm gonna wait for some other answers to roll in before I say.....
 
I usually put ours up the weekend after Thanksgiving. We are living in a duplex while we build a house so I think this year are tree will have to be small. :thumbdown:
 
The weekend after Thanksgiving most likely.

Corey, you should get a table-top tree - it'll be easier to store and put up and you can put up cat obstacles easier.
 
I put my little tree up December 1st. We live ina town house and there is definetly not room for a big real tree. Someday, though. ;)

That's what we use too.. goes on top of the kids toybox. We don't have room for a big tree.
 
We will be out of town for thanksgiving weekend. So we will get ours probably the first week of Dec. We get a live one and dont want it dead by Christmas so we bought a HUGE tree stand that holds gallons and gallons of water last year LOL
 
We always go out the day after Thanksgiving and cut it down and then decorate it that weekend. But this year we are doing it the weekend before. It's DS #1's birthday the 23rd and he wants to go Christmas tree hunting...... a tree hunting we will go!!!! :thumbup:
 
We usually put ours up the day after Thanksgiving or that weekend depending on what we have going on. Ours is artificial though so we usually keep it up til sometime during the week between Christmas & New Years.

My Dad and Stepmom get a real tree every year (sometimes 2 since they have a huge house) and their main tree is always around 20ft tall!! They have really really high ceilings and it always takes several people to get the thing in the house and set up and then it takes a huge ladder and all day long to decorate it! I really need to remember to take photos of it this year now that I have a lens that's wide enough to get the entire tree in the picture!
 
I'm aiming for the week of Thanksgiving with everything being done by the Monday after, who knows maybe I'll start earlier. We have a new house this year and I want to put at least a little themed tree in each room. I'm going to have to get "crafty" to pull that off. LOL!
 
We normally do ours Thanksgiving evening..I'm too busy shopping the day after Thanksgiving!!

Not sure yet what we're doing this year since I have to buy a new tree...didn't move our old one w/us (it had seen better days..lol)
 
Shawna - The huge tree being put up sounds like a fabulous tradition and lots of fun. I can't wait to see your pictures!

We usually put ours up right after Thanksgiving. Although I am so in the mood for that festive Christmas feeling I could almost put one up now!
 
Usually on Thanksgiving Day after dinner. Not sure this year, I'm feeling flexible. I might actually make it to December before putting it up LOL. We'll see. Tristan is already really excited for "kwiskwis" :wub:.
 
Probably the day after Thanksgiving. We have a fake...I'd love a new bigger one...I can't fit all of my Hallmark ornaments on the one we have now LOL.
