I was curious when everyone puts up their Christmas tree??? My family and I ususally put ours up the day after Thanksgiving (black friday
). But sometimes we wait a little later if we're busy. When do you put your tree up??

I don't have a tree so I won't be putting one up..My first year living alone and I think it might be a tad depressing to put up a tree just for myself.

Where my cats are
Usually the day after Thanksgiving unless we are away, then basically as soon as we get home. Last year we never got decoration on it though. Courtesy 2 lil kittens....

I usually put mine up a few days before Thanksgiving. I go home for Thanksgiving and like to get it up before I leave.

This is Davidson's 1st year with the tree... should be interesting

lol...my kitties aren't the ones who mess up my tree- it's my wolf mix Ginger....she's soo big that she gets excited running back and forth in the house (completly oblivious to the fact that there's a tree in her way
).....she knocks the entire tree over several times a year- it NEVER fails lol....thankfully, it's an artificial tree and it's pretty sturdy lol....

Awwww, I put one up just for myself!

And I help my family with decorations the day ater T-giving and then put mine up shortly thereafter.

Luckily enough, my cats are TERRIFIED of the tree

We put the tree up on my birthday, December 12, usually with champagne!

Cheers, from

Note to Trouts Mom: I hope you have a calm and bright Christmas, you and Trout. I had six Christmases like that, just me and my kitties, and they were beautiful and relaxed... no stress, no pressure. I wish that for you, too.

That's a fun way to have a tree trimming event
You have my niece Taylor's same birthday!

Either on Thanksgiving after Dinner, or Black Friday after shopping & recovering from BF shopping.
It will be Ginger's first Christmas, too, and we're really hoping that she takes the lead from Trent and Ophelia who have never shown any interest in it beyond laying underneath it.
