When are you putting your Christmas tree up?

Christmas Eve , and down on Twelfth Night . Although this year I will most likely be going to my parents for Christmas so I probably won't put up a proper tree at home at all, although I will put up some lights outside (battery / solar so they will work whether I'm there or not)

21 December. Used to be day after kids broke up from school but now it's whenever I'm off work as long as it's after the 20th

When we used to bother we used to do it Children In Need night - chuck it on the Beeb and then put the artificial tree up and decorate the whole room with balloons and streamers.

I don’t. I have something against the christmas industry. Besides, there are too many pets…

It went up on the 11th. Very early for me but I just felt like I wanted it up. Last year I got so busy at work that putting it up felt like an unenjoyable chore to try find time to do.

Same 11th as it was a quiet weekend and we were all home so played songs and a fake log fire on the tv!

Yes I had a week off so figured why not. Last year it got to Boxing day and I realised I hadn't even had a moment to just sit and relax and watch a Christmas film and eat junk.

If you put it up in November you need to take a long hard look at your life.

Decided to start looking for one now so ASAP. Never started celebrating Christmas this early before but something in me this year is just feeling very festive. My boyfriend & I moved in together this summer and it's my first time buying a tree & decorating with someone so I'm excited :)

Never , i like real trees and personally cant justify killing a real tree to cover it in plastic for a few weeks and pot grown trees are so much a bullshit con . I worked in the industry and pot grown is just a field grown tree uprooted and stuffed into a pot for 3 times the price.

Got to find something to put our mini trees on. When brought them home, we put them on the floor for a few minutes and the dog immediately cocked his leg on one of them. Nothing came out, so perhaps it was just instinct, but we’ve got to find something big enough to mount them higher than the dog. Probably first week of December before we even do that.

There are some really good fake ones now - obviously no need to put one up if you don't want to, but you can get ones which are hard to tell apart from the real thing!

I hate having the tree up- not because I don't like how it looks nor am I a Scrooge.... 3 cats! It's a nightmare. Used to be as late as possible but I now have children so probably two weekends before Christmas. Goes down just after New Years for the big tidy up.

Carrie Fisher loved a Christmas tree, so had one up all year round. I think we should all be a bit more Carrie Fisher, in lots of things. Do what makes you happy I’m not going to have a Christmas tree, as I can’t be arsed, but I will put tinsel round my skeleton

We go out to buy one on the first weekend of December. It honestly doesn't seem that long ago since we last did it. I remember well, as the kids wanted a short fat one that took up half the living room but only got halfway to the ceiling. No amount of pleading could get them to choose a nice tall one at the tree place.

We're away the first weekend in December, but when we get back I'm not working until the end of that week so probably put the tree up then. I love Christmas, and part of that is because we don't start Christmas until December. But once I open that first door on the advent calendar and have a choccy with breakfast all bets are off and it's Christmas all month.

The cat and I are still in negotiations as to the creation of a safe zone for the tree to occupy in the living room. Last year's tree met a spectacular and tinselly end when the cat incorrectly decoded the flashing light sequence to be morse code for "kill them all slowly" and deigned it had to be stopped. Probably sometime in January, tbh...

Ours will probably be going up the first weekend of December, only because our second baby is due the beginning of December and I can't see it going up after the baby is born. It'll be something to take my mind off it.

Most likely the 2nd December. The kids know when advent calendars come out, the countdown has begun, and as they’re 6 and 4, they cannot wait for the moment we go and buy a tree and put it up! So anything later than 2nd will be rejected by the small ones I expect!

We’d normally do it soon but we have flat viewings going on at the moment and the tree is very much too large for the space, so we’re going to hold off till there are likely to be no more (or at least very few) viewings for the year.
