Ours is going to be the little fake Charlie Brown tree we have. Fran demands we have a real tree but we're going to be away for the week before Christmas. She won't let me get a fake one and I'm not leaving that fire hazard unattended in the living room for a week. Pathertic 3-foot tree photos forthcoming! :)

We always put ours up just after Thanksgiving as we are not here for Christmas and like to enjoy having it up. Thanksgiving is also a few day earlier this year relative to Christmas and it's a artificial tree, so it can't die on us. :)

We usually put up our tree just few days before Christmas - although we decorate the outside of the house the weekend after Thanksgiving (more or less weather permitting).

I have so many Hallmark Star Trek and Star Wars ornaments, that I am thinking of getting a small tree for my basement and hanging them on it. For my larger tree, I will put the more traditional ornaments on it.

Yeah, I have my own little palm tree style Christmas tree in the office which has STAR WARS ornaments Jamie banned form the big tree. :)

I am thinking my wife might have the same feeling. I got a Tie Interceptor and a Grievous for my Birthday, so I think they might just push my total over what is acceptable for the main tree, so I will make the proactive decision to display them elsewhere :)

It seems like we here in the states tend to get ready for holidays early.   I think when I was growing in the 70s we didn't but up the tree until it was closer to Christmas, I thinking the pratice of putting it up after thanksgiving is a more recent custom.

as long as I can remember we put up the tree and decorations the day after Thanksgiving.

Ah right. We normally put ours up two weeks before Christmas but this year will be around the 3rd December.
