When do you put up your tree?

Gigi is driving me up the wall begging to at least put up her small Christmas tree! I don't plan to do it until after Thanksgiving.

When do you all start decorating for the holidays?

[JESSICA WILKINS]

I THINK I'M GOING TO START THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING. I'M TOTALLY IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT THIS YEAR (PROBABLY BECAUSE JUSTIN IS 2 1/2). I WANT ENOUGH TIME TO DECORATE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AND ENJOY BOTH.

on Black Friday. No Earlier, I'm feeling in the Christmas mood this year too. Not sure why

[Casey Scroggins]

We hope to put ours up the week of Thanksgiving but will be out of town Thursday-Saturday. Maybe the weekend before. With three toddlers, our decor will be slim this year. We will start by putting the big tree on the sunporch and Em will have a little tree safely in her room.

After Thanksgiving weekend is over. Probably that Monday! Can't wait!!
I've toyed with the idea of doing it before T-giving so family visiting us can enjoy it. But my niece and nephew are staying here -- that's 4 little kids running through my house -- and it gives them less room to play. Hmmmm...

We will have a real one, so we are going to wait until the 2nd weekend of December. I will put up all of the other decorations as soon as Thanksgiving is done!

We wait to put up our real tree so that we don't have to take it down by New Year's. I like to keep it up and still feel a little holiday cheer after all of the holidays are done. Plus, I'm so exhausted after the holidays that I need time to get around to it. :)

We've always had a real tree, and used to wait until the week before Christmas so we could keep it up through the Twelve Days of Christmas / Epiphany. Now we set it up the day after Thanksgiving because that's when all my siblings are together and because the choice in trees is pretty slim after the first of December! I've just got to figure out how to baby-proof a tree . . .

We put it up today! Yay!

[Vanessa]

Blasphemy! Haha -- but you're entertaining, so I don't blame ya.

I think we may put ours up tonight. We are actually getting a new one this year.

In all actuality, since we are moving at the first of the year I am just not in the mood to decorate since I have a lot of packing to do. (no worries to anyone who might have just flipped out thinking we are leaving town. Just moving 5 minutes down the road. :)
