Christmas trees....

I know it's still only November, but when do you all put your tree up? I have a friend who will put hers up before the end of the month!
Pre child we used to put ours up a weekend or 2 before the big day,but now we put some bits out on 1st December (we have a lot of decs!) and then normally put the tree up the first weekend so he gets some enjoyment from it. I realised this morning that 1st Dec was only about 2 weeks away!
I don't feel at all ready to have the tree up so soon...probably because we are mid decorating. So...when do you all put yours up???

I was brought up that way too, although the tree never seemed to make it to 12th night sadly!!!! I just like having the tree up to write my cards etc...and eat lots of mince pies...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
