We won't be here for Christmas, but I usually put a tree up at least a couple of weeks before.

my folks went out Christmas Eve for the markdown trees, too. It was a late night decorating.
My mother insisted on live trees. Nonetheless, she was eccentric is some ways. My brother was in the Marines one Christmas . My mother left the tree up in the middle of the living room, surrounded by fallen dry needles on the floor until July. The was virtually not a needle left on the tree.
