When do you put up your Christmas tree?

Bunny

I know, I know - it's still September (although only just)!

If you're among those of us who celebrate Christmas - or who otherwise enjoy the seasonal decorations and festivities - when do you prefer to put your tree up?

In my case, I've been stealthily bringing the date forward over each of the last few years. I love the twinkling tree lights, sitting to the side of my view in the living room each evening. And I find it generally helps to lift my mood Smile

I wondered whether anyone else here might also be in the habit of banking extra seasonal pleasure by doing the same? Santa

  • I don't because it's just me. In the United States, the average American puts up a Christmas tree after Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is always the last Thursday of the month and celebrates the survival of the pilgrims in Plymouth following their first harvest in November. Of the 102 Engish who founded Plymouth in 1620, only 50 survived the winter due to poor shelter and insufficient food supplies.
