    Putting mine up tomorrow (November 19th) and will take it down the day after Christmas. I have an artificial tree (actually we have several) so I don't have to worry about it drying out. The kitties did pretty well with it last year so I'm hoping for a repeat. They were more interested in the bows on the gifts under the tree. Good distraction I guess.

    NO tree for me. I simply hate to decorate and I hate un-decorating it even more! Besides, 16 cats and Christmas tree should never be used in the same sentence.

    I agree Jen, only in my house you can't put Andy and Christmas tree in the same sentence. I have stopped putting one up, since the first couple of years I had moved all of the ornaments to the top half long before Christmas even arrived due to my nawtee boy. He also likes to tug on the light strings. Trevor only ever went underneath and napped like a good boy.

    A couple of years ago my daughter bought me a small fiber optic tree (no ornaments! YAY!) but Andy even managed to jump up to where I had it and eat a few pieces of the tree (found them in the litter box ) so I will have to find a place for it this year where there is nothing nearby for him to spring from to reach it.

    I've had my tree up for a week and a half! (I'm a little embarrested to admit that after seeing everyone elses replies.) I consider the "holiday season" to begin after halloween. I definitely married into the right family, Justin's dad puts his lights up on the outside of the house the week after halloween and Justin's mom has the inside decorted that week too.

    I usually get my Christmas decorations out early november, but the tree usually goes up a bit later. However Justin bought me a new tree this year, so I put it up at the same time I got out the other decorations. My "old" tree is a huge, very full tree that I love very much, but unfortunately so did the cats. It was a very difficult tree to have in my busy house. This year Justin bought me a slim tree and it's working out much better. The cat's have not yet climbed it, they just play with it.

    Truthfully, I am not sure I will have a tree this year. I can't seem to get much time to do anything besides work and work around the house. Plus with Grant having his first Christmas, I think he might want to munch on some decorations. Last year we had about an 8 ft Colorado Blue Spruce we bought from our local tree farm. It was gorgeous and a holy mess to clean up after. No more real trees for me, I'll get a tree scented candle to do me over. If I get a tree, I might get a little artificial Charlie Brown tree to keep it out of the dogs reach. I am totally not in the Christmas spirit yet, it takes me awhile to be.
