We used to always get 2 or 3 stand alone baby gates to put around the tree to keep the toddlers and dog away from the tree. It protected the ornaments and gifts underneathhighlandmum wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 4:20 pm First or second weekend in December. Depends on the schedule. This year is will also be if the dog does not try and pull it across the room again

I guess we aim for around 10-14 days before Christmas. We go on the weekend and pick one out so it will probably be the 14th this year.
I typically do all the Christmas decorating the weekend after Thanksgiving. But this year, I finally found & bought a silver tinsel tree & it's already up. I will still do the big regular tree, but now we have 1 big tree, 1 medium tree (silver tinsel tree) and multiple small trees (2 silver ones & a pink one). No I'm not Yuppy mom & I don't do entire rooms around a specific tree. I just have a lot of little trees I scatter around the house. I don't have a "theme" but I do have a color scheme (blue, silver & white). Presents only go under the big green tree.
I am guilty of having a bit of a nutcracker addiction & have been advised that I do not need a nutcracker army. I disagree because you never know when an elf attack could happen.

Last week in November our first week in December. We do a cut tree, so much sooner than that and it won’t last until Christmas.

The weekend right after Thanksgiving.
I refuse to put anything Christmasey up before Thanksgiving, but want to enjoy the Christmas decorations as long as I can.
