Definitely not until the week before Christmas and then we can't agree as to when it should come down. I tend to think a tree still up in January just doesn't feel right, for me Christmas and New Year are two completely different things, dr_pink disagrees, only one winner there........sigh.

Some time in between 10th - 15th December in our household - or the nearest Sat - I suspect 15th for us, once we had decided where to buy the tree from (always part of the Christmas build up - the differing views on which tree is nicest, fits, isn't too expensive etc. All comes down on the evening of the 5th Jan. (Except for one or two things that I keep finding in the following days that I have missed).

I haven't 'put up a tree' for years.
More recently I have been known to place an offering outside to one of the live rooted trees that is there with me all year round, year in year out.
I see it as a sort of 'thank you' to the trees, and other plants, that make life possible for us to live, and to also seeing out the old year and seeing in the new at the winter solstice.
If I cut a tree down then there has to be another main purpose to the cut tree other then to hang baubles on for a couple of weeks and then dispose of.

Tree and decorations go up the Sunday before my birthday, 13 December, and come down the !st of January, if I was living on my own I wouldn't bother, I only put them up because the family want them up.

In previous years I've never really bothered with much Chrimbo decoration for my man cave, less is more and all that, but at the end of November last year I succumbed to female influence and bought a 4ft (manly) black Christmas tree.
After I'd played with it and put the fancy twinkling led lights on I thought it was too nice to take down so it stayed up for the duration. Well chuffed I was.
The tree will be up again by this time next week, ain't Christmas brilliant.
