If you get a real tree every year

When do you get it? I want to get it early this year but how early is too early ? I was thinking next week! I love christmas time!

Re: If you get a real tree every year

We usually get it around the 2nd week of Dec.

Re: If you get a real tree every year

we are going Friday after Thanksgiving out to Riverhead area to the tree farms and cutting down ourselves...
This will be our 2nd year doing it...they quality (and price can't be beat)

We used to always get it at Home Depot before that!

Re: If you get a real tree every year

we're getting ours on Saturday..hopefully it should be fine until christmas! i really can't wait any longer lol

Re: If you get a real tree every year

We were thinking Dec 3rd this year.

Re: If you get a real tree every year

We usually put it up the weekend before xmas and keep it up to New Year's.

Re: If you get a real tree every year

When we used to get a real tree, we once made the mistake of putting it up too early- and it dried out so bad by Xmas that it was a fire hazzard.
So be careful!

We started doing it the 2nd weekend of Dec- and that was a much better option. (Then we went to fake and now we can put it up whenever )

I know everyone likes to start the decorating earlier and earlier- but it's not worth having your house burn down.
Just be careful!

Re: If you get a real tree every year

The weekend closest to Dec. 15th.

Re: If you get a real tree every year

2nd week of Dec. We cut down our own, its become a tradition.

And by we i mean DH

Re: If you get a real tree every year

Usually 2nd week of December... but we ALWAYS WANT to get it right after Thanksgiving. Having the tree in the house makes me all happy inside...

Re: If you get a real tree every year

We always go the day after thanksgiving. We cut our tree down at Lewins in baiting hollow. $30 any tree any size. Our tree stays fresh way after christmas.

Re: If you get a real tree every year

Well, it kind of depends on how long you plan on keeping up your tree.

Like, in my family it doesn't come down until Little Christmas so it'll be up through the first week or so in January so with that in mind we put up the tree around the 17th of December.

You really can't get more than like three weeks from a live tree so if you're putting it up this weekend it won't look so great by the time Christmas rolls around. You're gonna have to wait a little longer.

Re: If you get a real tree every year

We always get ours the weekend after Thanksgiving. We cut it down ourselves which makes a HUGE difference in how long it lasts because the Home Depot and tree lot trees are already cut down at this point. Our trees last well past Christmas. We also turn off the heat in the immediate vicinity of the Christmas tree and make sure to water it every day, twice a day in the beginning.

Re: If you get a real tree every year

It doesn't really matter. With the exception of cutting your own tree, all trees being sold have already been cut down.

Re: If you get a real tree every year

We always get it the weekend after Thanksgiving. Ive never really had a problem with it staying fresh until after New Years.

Re: If you get a real tree every year

First or second weekend in December. This year we'll probably go on 12/4 because we'll be in Jersey and that's where the farm is we've been going to for years (we used to live 20 minutes away, it's just tradition now)
