When is it too early to put up your Christmas tree?

You sure did! I thought I told you last year. Maybe I forgot.
I had a vague feeleing it might be the tree. But I thought it couldn't be, because nobody is allergic to trees. And I'm certainly not allergic when I take a walk in the forest or sumpn. So I just lived with it and hoped every year (in vain) it would get better.
After reading about your mother I decided it is actually possible to be allergic to Christmas trees and I gave the artificial tree a try.
It really was a big relief. So thank you! :-*

I know people who already have their tree up.
We'll be putting ours up on Thanksgiving.

My parents' tradition was always putting it up the Friday after Thanksgiving. My stepmother would go shopping, and my Dad and I would get the tree, set it up, and string the lights on it. When my stepmother got home and had a sufficient rest from her shopping, she would put most of the ornaments on it and let me put on the "special" ones at the end.
Another rationale for just doing it this past Saturday for me was that we will be out of town the week of Christmas. So this way, we can enjoy it the same amount of time.
The main one rationale was that I really, really felt like doing it. I thought I'd better strike while the iron was hot, because I know from past experience that the first two (or three...) weekends in December can easily pass me by with no Christmas tree because I just don't feel like doing it.

Or it may be that you told me and I forgot! ;D I'm just glad you'll be having a more comfortable Christmas season. :D

That's probably the best reason for doing it! :D
