I'm a Christmas rebel

I am very traditional in many ways, but there is one Swedish tradition that I have never followed. It is customary in Sweden to put up the tree on the before Christmas Eve.

My parents, like everyone else I know, follow it slavishly. Personally, I have always put up the tree on the first weekend in December to take it out before the New Year.

I have already taken out the Advent candlestick. Since the Swedes are very traditional, I don't dare to hang the Advent stars in the windows before the weekend before Advent.
