The festival of Christmas is celebrated on December 25 every year and a correct Christmas etiquette is something that people start panicking about as Christmas approaches. Traditional Christians have been of the opinion that the fir tree should be put up at the beginning of the advent whereas there have been a lot of people who have not even waited till the month of December.

Correct time to put up Christmas decorations

Devout Christians have said that the Christmas tree and all the decorations along with it should be put up on the fourth Sunday before the festival which is also the first day of the Advent. This year the fourth Sunday before Christmas is on December 1, giving all those people a lot of time who like decorating the Christmas tree before the day of the actual festivities. Reportedly, Roman Catholics wait until the afternoon of Christmas eve i.e. December 24 to decorate their tree whereas people who are completely opposite see November 25 as the perfect date to put up their decorations.
