Who else has already put up their christmas tree?

I'm not in an xmas mood, so never. Historically, I put it up a week or two before xmas, and it stayed up until the end of January.

Never EVER before Thanksgiving.
On the day after TDay is when we get all our decorations out. Lights go on the house, Christmas music comes on etc etc.
Tree (real, not artificial crap) goes up 1-2 weeks before the big day).

raises hand. Wife did it on Sunday. She was bored. shrugs off (never before thanksgiving onslaught). Glad to have it done.

Of course its up in a corner, the same corner I had to crawl behind and under to putz with the cable feed last night.

Xmas trees and cable don't necessarily mix. It turned out to be one of the light controllers is putting a bit of interference out on a couple channels. Damn Chinese crap.

My gf and I put up her tree November 2nd. Early, I know, but she will only be spending maybe 2-4 days in her house in December so she wanted some time to enjoy her first tree in her new home.

 

[trmiv]

Not me. I did see someone driving down the freeway with one on top of their car on October 25th though. Now THAT'S early.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Does still having it up from last year count?

 

[Perknose]

I leave my Festivus Pole up all year long. I'll let you touch if you want. They say that brings good luck, and aluminum is easy to clean.

Ben, is that you?

Nah. We take it down shortly after the new year. New Year's Eve is when we "decorate" it (or if we're at my parents) a 2nd time. Streamers, silly string etc etc. Its great fun for the kids and all the cousins to do.

By the next weekend though its on the curb.

 

[bobdole369]

and ALWAYS down by New Year's Eve.

When I lived in a flophouse, it was still up in July. Presents under it for rarely seen parents and all.

Your opening line explains much...

 

[JohnOfSheffield]

On the 23 it goes up, 20 days later it is thrown out, that is Yuletide tradition.

Real celebration is on christmas eve, christmas day is for getting drunk and eating leftovers.

Why would a Jew celebrate Christmas?

I know at least 5 Christmas-celebrating Jews. Granted they are not the Jewiest of folks I've known.
