Almost Last Minute
In Austria we usually set up the Christmas tree not until Christmas Eve, still it's high time to buy a tree. In Vienna you can do so in nearly 300 locations, even in the very city center (The photo was taken on Graben). I read that the Viennese prefer to buy a fir tree because of its rich colour and blunt needles...
When I was growing up we would usually set up the tree by the 22nd, and it would stay up until a few days past New Year's.
