How early do you put your tree up? I have always wanted to wait for each holiday to be over first. DH birthday is after Thanksgiving so it will always be after that anyway.

We use to put ours up on Thanksgiving day. Jack and Kyle would pull the tree and decorations down out of the attic while I cooked dinner. After the kitchen was clean we would decorate the tree. As we got older and Kyle moved out, we would set up a small 4 ft. table top tree. Although I didn't have much Christmas spirit last year I was determined to put up a tree. It was my first Christmas without Jack. This year I will probably set up the same small tree but maybe with new decorations this year.
