We are divided into 2 groups: the Catholics, Protestants, Anglicans and modern Orthodox - on one side, and the traditionalist Orthodox - on the other. The latter (the Russians, Serbs, Ukrainians) do not acknowledge the new calendar, therefore they continue to celebrate Christmas two weeks later (January the 7th). Traditionally, we decorate our trees on Christmas Eve, but modern life has made us move forward the date by one, two, three days (a week, at the most).
For all I know there is no specific date on which we Europeans put up our Christmas tree.
Some people do it one or two days before Christmas like I do, but i also have lots of friends who do it one month before Christmas so it is really not a specified date.
But I do know that people who have fake trees put them up allot earlier than people who buy a new one every year!
Some Russians do put up trees for Christmas.
