We decorate early because my children come home for Thanksgiving weekend (which was this past weekend), but they won't be back again until Christmas. As far as the tree lasting, I've found that if we make sure to keep it watered, it will survive until New Years in fairly good shape. Remember, even a tree you buy the day before Christmas was probably cut down in October.
