When is it too early to put up the Christmas tree

woodzie

I'm just wondering is it too early to put up the Christmas tree. I was thinking of putting it up this weekend however most people I've talked to said wait till 1st December at a minimum.

I think anything after November 20th is acceptable. At this stage we're only a month away!

Of course, personally I don't think there is a 'too early.'

Traditionally Christmas trees are put up 8th Dec and take down little Christmas 6th January. However I've already seen trees up not far from my own house. Bottom line is tradition seems to be out the window so whenever takes you fancy.

We always do this, but we get a real tree thats why we only get it the weekend of the 8th Dec, we have a cabin out the back though with an artifical tree and thats put up probably around the last week of Nov, 1st week of Dec

Just suit yourself. You seem to be worried about what others might think though.

AFAIC Christmas and the trappings should be banned.

The way things are going in this country, you put it up when the government tell us to.

Do you usually hang around dedicated Christmas Internet forums just to share this groundbreaking observation?

Not a real one. Just an Argos job. Have it sitting in the box in the place where it will stand until the wife relents. The two kids and me the big kid asking her hourly can we put it up!

We always put ours up the last weekend in November for the Toy Show. Still putting them up next Friday night even thought the Toy Show has moved.

Me too!!

Goes up the weekend before Christmas (or so) and comes down Jan 6th. I personally don't like to have it up too early, or for too long. I take a real intense pleasure in having it up and I don't want to dilute that.

Having said that, I bought a Rudolph door mat last week and I already have that out. Our neighbours have lights up as of this week

We normally wait until December 8th, but this year, I'm off on the 6th so going for that date for the one in the kitchen. We are getting a real one for the sitting room & due to having an extremely warm house (thankfully) and the fact that last year, it was dead midway through the Christmas Dinner, that one will not be going up until around the 15th in an attempt to keep it alive!

Whatever floats your boat I say! If I had bought my tree today, I think I would be halfway through putting it up now! lol!

Well the wife went out for a few hours this evening and the tree went up all by itself!
