When do you put up your tree?

[catnapper]

For whatever reason, I am just just itching to put up my tree this year. Perhaps its all the stress in my life right now, and I want the relaxation of looking at a pretty tree..... but I am dying to put up my tree!

I can't wait to pull out all the pretty decorations - a mix of things I've been loooking at since I can remember and new stuff. I can't wait to watch the kitties playing in the boxes as I unpack everything. I can't wait to see who climbs the tree this year... I just can't wait!

Mom and I are going shopping Sunday for Christmas gifts and then to buy wrapping paper, new decorations (kittenproof of course), etc. Its not Thanksgiving and I'm seriously already in the Christmas mood!

We usually put the tree up Thanksgiving weekend but this year I won't have a tree. When we decided to move we got rid of our artificial tree and it's not a priority for my husband...not to mention that we were supposed to be in the house two months ago and now it looks like we will be officially moving in the day before Thanksgiving.

We put the tree up on December 8th. It's a tradition here....

I would usually have it up by now in the past years But since I got Felix last year I have put it off as long as I can.I dont feel like re-decorating trees all season This year Im thinking he wont be half as bad...He has calmed down alot since I got him neutered and he is not a kitten no more.Felix's second christmas..were does the time go?

My answer wasn't on there. I put my tree up about 2 weeks before x-mas.

We usually put ours up the weekend after Thanksgiving. I'm really getting ready, too.

If it wasn't for my (skin) kids, I don't think I would put one up at all.

I put mine up the day after Thanksgiving and take it down the day after Christmas.

Last year we put it up 2.5 - 3 weeks before Christmas, which turned out to be a bad idea. It was very dry by Christmas AND our two kittens had all that time to knock countless ornaments down.

This year, I don't want to put it up until around the 17th or 18th. ESPECIALLY since we have FOUR cats now, two of which have never seen a tree inside before and both of which are bratty little bad girls. PLUS we get real trees and if I haven't had the baby yet, I can't imagine trying to get down on the floor and water it being that close to giving birth. So we'll see. I actually brought up not having one to Josh this year but he nixed that idea right then and there. Of course he wants a tree - *I'll* be the one taking care of it!! He just gets to enjoy how it looks and smells!

Yep, us too. We get a real tree, so it's still in pretty good shape by Christmas if we keep it watered well (and the cats don't destroy it, of course).

I posted Thanksgiving weekend, because the correct time is not there. We always put up our tree the first saturday AFTER december 6th.
December 6th is St.Nicolas Day here. St.Nicolas brings toys to all children then; he walks over the roof with his helpers and his white horse, and throws the presents down the chimney
