Re: When do you put your Christmas Tree up?

Probably about the middle of December, and I usually take it down again after New Years Eve.
I'm another one who doesn't like getting up to the loft!

Re: When do you put your Christmas Tree up?

Has to be real for me.
Pin drop is minimal these days...will go to conservation site just outside Lyndhurst about 10 days before Christmas to choose a tree.
By New Years Eve I'm ready to wave it all bye bye .

Re: When do you put your Christmas Tree up?

I used to know a woman who put her tree up on Xmas eve and took it down on Boxing Day together with all traces of festive stuff. She also never, ever put up any Xmas cards she received.

Re: When do you put your Christmas Tree up?

I loathe artificial trees almost as much as plastic flowers.

Fortunately, we have a 20 acre paddock behind the house which is 'awash' with pines.
As the kids were growing up, we'd wander out the back with my trusty tomahawk and pick the best shape and size.

These days, I couldn't give a rat's - but I do miss the smell.

One memorable year (before I retired) I finally took my Christmas tree down in May.
