When is the Right Time to Put Up the Christmas Tree?
Now that it's December, the big question is upon us: When is it your time to go dig out the Christmas decorations and put up the tree?
The great Christmas tree question is handled differently depending on family traditions.
On the day after Thanksgiving, I saw some of my neighbors putting up their decor.
But in my house, we wait until the calendar says December. We pick some nice weekend day since my mom's a teacher and that job is too tiring to do after a long day's work. We have a white artificial tree for many reasons, like ease of transportation since we live up a flight of stairs and not having to worry about our cats drinking tree water.

Usually we will put on the 1989 classic National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation as we're decorating because that is just one of the many facets of the good-old fashioned Harger family Christmas. But everyone has their own special traditions. Tell us a little about yours!
Also, if you're looking to buy a live tree, here are some places in the area where you can do so and support good causes in the process.
