It is really up to you. Don't let people dictate what your traditions are in your home. I know some people who leave their tree up all year long.

I set it up first week of November. It takes so much effort to put everything up. I want it up as long as possible to make it worth it.

Its never too early in my book LOL. But I usually try to wait until atleast December 1st. I am not going to say I have always been succesful at this though. I have definitely decorated before November 1st though.....hate to admit that LOL.

Whatever makes each individual or family happy. Personally, I prefer to wait until after Thanksgiving, but during the pandemic, I did put my tree up earlier because I just needed a little more joy in my life. I know people who keep their tree up all year. To each their own.

My Christmas tree was up 11/3 lol it’s never too early

Live your best life. I put mine up on the 2nd.

As someone not from HTX, feels weird to have Christmas stuff up when it’s 80+ outside. Grew up in a “no Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving” household, but I think mid-November is fine

maybe this weekend after veterans day sounds reasonable to me

I mean I would have given I’m gone for thanksgiving (I just normally use the long weekend) but I’m also gone for Christmas so I’m like meh, seems like too much effort to decorate when I’m only gonna be here two weeks (if even that with work travel)

I mean....can we leave the tree up all year? Bevause that would be my recommendation.

No, ay this point it's all fair game. It's basically "cold" season now, so let the lights come out and the decorations fly lol
