Now is the perfect time to put up the tree
According to tradition
If you want to follow traditions, you can install Christmas decorations according to Christian tradition. But, you will have to wait until Christmas Eve, December 24, to decorate your house. Another variation, very common in the Nordic countries, is to install the decorations just after Saint Nicholas Day. According to some, you can put up the Christmas tree once the Thanksgiving holiday has passed, that is to say, after the third Thursday in November. So, it’s up to you.

Natural Christmas tree
To keep your natural Christmas tree looking fresh and beautiful this holiday season, you’ll have to wait a bit.
When dealing with a natural tree, note that you will need to consider the variety of it when knowing when to install it. To make your choice easier, we advise you to choose a Nordmann tree, if you want to enjoy the festive atmosphere for longer. This variety will stay looking good for a month or so, making it a great choice if you’re planning to decorate your home the first weekend of December.
On the other hand, if you can wait until mid-December, you can choose a Nobilis or Epicea tree. These are trees that have a shorter lifespan (around 2 weeks).
