A friend and I are debating when most people buy their xmas trees.

I saw that it's several days or more before Christmas eve, and the
proof of this is that is what I do. And that tree lots open up about
2 weeks in advance.

She says, No, the custom is Xmas eve and the great majority buy that
afternoon. And the proof is that is what she does.

What can you tell us about this?

We typically cut ours 2 - 3 weeks before Christmas, depending on when one of those
weekend lands. This year we went tree hunting on the 12th.

When the kids were young, it was a day spent with multiple families. Now is either just
me, SWMBO, and the dog, unless the girls happen to be home from college. They still
like the tradition.

My job is to put the lights on the tree, SWMBO (and the girls) do the ornaments. This
year the lights were on for a week while we waited for the girls to come home from college.

In a few weeks I'll cut up the tree and spread the branches in the woods.

We do much the same as you...á•™(‡€€¸†¼€¶)á•—
