Is your tree up yet?
Some people wait till Christmas eve, me, it's been up for 2 weeks.....
Going to get it today. We'll have it put up this evening.
Both of them have been up for a week....
My wife put one up the weekend of Thanksgiving and the other one a week later.
I have been working a little along on my tree for a week and I have finally finished it besides for the topper...I still have to find the right one.... I am quite picky!! =) I decorate my tree in all vintage items.
Yes but I had to move it. It was very regal on top of my fake little fireplace in front of the window. Then kitten knocked it over. Now its on top of a high counter.
That's on today's TO-DO list. We had to clear the area upstairs first.
Tree went up last weekend, but it is not fully decorated yet. We unpack, unwrap, and put up some ornaments/decorations each night as a family activity. This seems to increase the anticipation up to Christmas and allows us an opportunity to spend some quality family time together.
With a teenager and a slightly younger one, that is sometimes hard to do. Hot chocolate seems to help also. :o)
@eeekdageek: That is the perfect time we did it too. (Weekend of Thanksgiving)
Only in my head.
@caffeine_dude: I agree it gives you a little more then a month of enjoyment if you take it down around New Years
@eeekdageek: ours usually comes down around February :D
been up to weeks
a REAL tree!
Mine went up the first weekend in December. It would've been Thanksgiving weekend, but the hubs was being a grinch.
Mine went up Thanksgiving weekend, mostly to give me a place to put the gifts that were accumulating in bags in my room and presenting a security risk with the gift recipients coming to visit with their gifts a few feet away in thin plastic bags. One advantage of getting it up early is that I am enjoying really wrapping and decorating the packages one by one, which I haven't done in a long time.
