I think ours is going up on the 7th, though I am campaigning for the 1st as I'd like to get maximum use from our inordinately expensive tree.

Goes up around 12th/13th. Comes down by 6th.
If we are away, we don't bother putting one up at all.

1st December. Pretty much all down and away on the 27th 
It's all about the countdown so the kids have the excitement for 3 weeks odd. It's all doom and gloom after boxing day.

Correct answer!
I try and get my Mrs to wait until the second week of December but she almost always manages to get me to do it earlier. Every day after the 1st is a success though in my book, I'd have it legally enforced that the earliest date to put up decorations would be the 20th December if I could. Some morons over the road from us put there's up last weekend. Bah humbug. I love Christmas but want it to be celebrated more succinctly.

What if I don't put a Christmas tree up?

We have had one up for a week already... but that's in my wife's home salon.
The tree in the living room will be going up on Sunday 1st December. Some years it's earlier, depending when the weekend falls before December.

Then don’t vote. Easy.
Usually the weekend that's closest to a fortnight before christmas, so this year weekend of 7th/8th. However, if I'm going to be too busy it can be earlier but never before December 1st.
There are exceptions I'm ok with. A friends husband was going out to Afghan and wouldn't be there for Christmas so they did Christmas in November. They were having other family round for 25th December so left the tree and decs up. That seems reasonable enough.
