We get a live tree because my boyfriend was an Eagle Scout with a troop here in town that does Christmas trees as a fundraiser, so as long as he goes to cut trees every year, we get a free live tree.
The tree goes up whenever the Boy Scouts go out to cut trees, and comes down just after New Years.
Growing up, the tree went up Thanksgiving weekend--we would go out Saturday or Sunday and hunt up the perfect tree. In the PacNW, U-Cut tree lots are a dime a dozen, so Christmas trees are cheap and easy to get compared to everywhere else. The tree would be decorated right away, and stay up until Three Kings Day.
