We have the tradition of putting it up on my birthday and taking it down new years. Roughly 3 weeks up total.
This year, with my wild cat, I'm sort of afraid to...

Usually right after Thanksgiving. Thats how my family always did it but I don't always put one up. Depends on what I am doing that year for Christmas. Since we are doing Christmas for mine and my girl's family this year we will probably put one up.

We are in the market for a new pre-lit tree. Our old one is kinda pathetic (6.5' tall) so we are looking for a 9' tree. Hopefully we will find one in the next few days and can put it up this weekend.

We put ours up this weekend. It's a 12' (I believe) fake tree. We don't really like fake trees, but we have high ceilings in our living room (~20 ft), so buying a live tree every year of the right size would be prohibitively expensive.
