My question is " When do you put your tree up?"
I am surprised that people put the tree up at Thanksgiving or early December. The year that I decided that the kids could help put the tree up on Christmas Eve day was a freedom to me. It had always been put up after the children went to bed; in my neighborhood in Philadelphia. And we spent New Years' Day walking around knocking on doors asking "Can we see your tree?' Every house gave us some goodies! I remember a young Polish couple that had moved to the states and hadn't any family here. They did not speak english but they were so happy to have visitors. And we little scoundrels were only going for the goodies! Lesson learned.

What a neat tradition. I would love to do something like that. I look at trees in the windows when I'm driving and wonder what they look like. What fun it would be to go door to door and see them up close.

In the days when we had one they were kept up at least until Feast of the Magi. We don't have a LR or room for one so we enjoy our DD's and her family tree. Our ornaments have been either passed on to her or sold at garage sale.
