Usually depends on whether we have any guests before Christmas. Last year the whole lot went up by about the 6th, since we had guests staying a couple of nights.
Usually more like the 16th ish, depending on the diary. Tree always needs dh to manhandle and saw a bit off the bottom, and both of us to settle it in a bucket of wet gravel.
I put a few bits up yesterday but no tree yet, since brother and SiL were coming for lunch, and a small potted tree with lights has been outside the front door since 1st Dec, as usual.
We never take them down until 6th January. TBH I find January, esp. the first half, quite dreary enough anyway, so the longer it's brightened up a bit, the better.
