When I was a kid my mom left it up until June so I don't see why you can't put it up now!
Why wait!
How soon can I put my Xmas tree up ?

I say put it up whenever you feel the urge. I haven't even thought about it yet. But if I felt like it today, I would!

I believe that the general custom of putting up the tree the day after Thanksgiving (not before) is so that the Thanksgiving holiday (decorations, etc.) would not be overshadowed by Christmas stuff.
Same reason that you don't put up your thanksgiving turkey stuff before Halloween.
I was also taught that the Christmas stuff should be taken down by the 12th night. (It was OK to leave it through New Years day, but not longer than 12th night).
Mai likes to take ours down Christmas day afternoon - which I find just a little too cold-heartedly quick.

Well, I assembled my 8 ft tree. Then my husband suggested I put the lights up. But I haven't got round to putting the ornaments on. Will do tomorrow I think. It looks great! Can't wait for Christmas, although, it's always difficult with family cos they are in and we are out.
