Do You Think It's Too Early To Put Up Your Christmas tree?: that's the question CafeMoms are discussing over in Advice for Moms.
So far the "Yes" vote is winning (although about 35% of you say "No, it's *not* too early").
What's about in your home?
Since we get a real Christmas tree every year and the trees never seem to thrive in our house (hello, pine needles EVERYWHERE), it's way too soon for us to get our tree. I did have an egg nog latte the other day though. Mmm, 'tis the season!
Are you raring to go full force into holiday shopping and holiday decorating? Or do you want to wait until after Thanksgiving to get started? Maybe you even wait all the way up until the week of Christmas to decorate?
For you early birds, here in one CafeMom's Christmas tree for you to enjoy.
What kind of holiday decorator are you: fanatic, steady as she goes, or total procrastinator?

We get a real tree too, so ours goes up about two weeks before Christmas, especially since we go by the book and don't take it down till after the Twelve Days. Talk about needles EVERYWHERE ....
I put mine up just after Thanksgiving and take it down the day after New Years.
We always put ours up thanksgiving evening. Its early to some people but to me atleast its technically after thanksgiving. I would love to have it up now but dont want weird stares.lol I love the holidays and CANT wait to decorate and shop(more)!!
I dont think its too soon! is there a rule somewhere saying when its SUPPOSE to go up.. I dont think so (Correct me if I am wrong)... We will put ours up probably after Thanksgiving since DH has a 4 day weekend.. I already have some of my winter decor up :)
Well if you don't like my tree don't look at it! I like having it up for Thanksgiving, because that, in my mind, is the beginning of the "holidays" and it is nice to be all decorated when the family comes over. Since we take it down on New Year's, I don't think a little over a month is too long to have it up, especially because WE enjoy it.
I think its really not my business what other people do, lol.
I wait to put mine up...my kitty creates a disaster zone with it, so I try to hold out as long as possible without having to be a total scrooge!
Whatever makes YOU happy. This is one of those areas where it SO does not matter what anyone else thinks or does. Trivial stuff. If it makes you happy...PUT IT UP!
Personally I don't put mine up until the beginning of December- having it for one month is enough for me. But I don't think there's any right or wrong to it, and I do have friends who put the tree up in mid-November.
