22. Absolutely not- any time up to Christmas Eve is fine
In fact my mother always used to say that the "correct" (or traditional) custom was to put up the tree on Christmas Eve and take it down on Twelfth Night.

Last year we put up ours 2 weeks before Christmas and even though I watered it regularly it was dead and dry by New Years Day and I had to get rid of it. This year we put up our tree yesterday so hopefully it will stay alive until Twelfth Night.
