In my household we usually put it up on December 1st but I know many people who put it up mid November and others just a week before Christmas.
Hell, my local shopping centre put all the decorations up mid October, really cashing in on it all.
When do you put yours up? (Given you celebrate Christmas with a tree)

We normally put ours up on December 1st and take it down on January 1st :)
Put ours up on Thursday because the local carnival was Friday

around the 1st - 3rd december
We normally forget to do it because we are so busy with everything else. But some time in December. I remember last year we were so busy we put it up the week before xmas because we had people coming round for a party haha.

I would probably end up sticking it up sometime in November but my parents won't allow me til December so it's whenever I can pressure my Dad into getting it all down from the loft - normally the first weekend in December

Around the 14th-18th December. I know this year we are putting it up nearer the beginning of the 14th, if not earlier because our cousin is coming down and has been at sea for a long time so mum wants the house to look really nice! :)
usually december 1st. mum tries doing it on a weekday though when me and dad are out of her way bc dad makes her so mad when she's doing christmas decorations.

Usually closer to the second week in December. I don't understand the whole thing with putting decorations up before December... strange strange people.

usually the first sunday of december :)
My Mam usually puts it up on the first of December, but she considers decorating it 'my job' so it just stays there without decorations for about a week until I can actually do it haha.

Think it was random when I lived at home, whenever my mum could be bothered really!! Can't even remember when we put it up last time, I assume mid-December. Worried the dogs might drag it down as its the first time they'll see a Christmas tree I assume.

well my mum and i would love to put it up on the 1st of december
But my dad likes to be 'traditional' and puts it up 2 weeks before christmas and takes down 2 weeks after christmas.
So around the 11th we put it up :)

We usually put ours up around the 1st December but as the living room is being repainted it may be a bit later.
My sister and I were literally like (in mid november) 'eh, we should put up the tree.'
It's not a big tradition really.
