Parents of Fedi, how destructive did your toddlers get around a Christmas tree?

Parents of Fedi, how destructive did your toddlers get around a Christmas tree? I'm wondering if we can set ours up this weekend, or if we wait until a few days before Christmas to not spend two weeks saying "no, don't touch this"...

#parenting@juliette Depends entirely on the kid, I think. We usually wait until the 23rd anyway, but then leave it until the day before New Year's Eve.

@EvilCartyen I was afraid of this answer. The Hobbit doesn’t seem to attack the tree at vuggestue, but it also seem that they are getting an entirely different child than the one we have at home, based on reports of “eats really well” and “sits down and ‘reads’ picture books with interest”.
Maybe we’ll decorate the tree and leave it out at first? -

If you have the space for it to be set up now, give it a go. It's hyggeligt and after 2 hours you know if it will work or not.
The main reason we don't put it up early now is the fact that we usually use a real tree, and it'd have no needles left on juleaften if we put it up now.
