Ok, now that Thanksgiving is over we can break out the Christmas decorations. Every year my husband tries so hard to get me to break down and decorate before Thanksgiving and every year there are more and more people who do so, but NOT ME!!! He usually says, ‘look, they are decorated, and over there is more. Come on, we can at least start, right??’ My answer is that same all the time… No!! This year my kids were asking and wondering why Mommy wouldn’t let them, grandma did! I tried to explain to them they Thanksgiving is a very important holiday too, and we can’t just skip over it to get to Christmas. Let’s enjoy Thanksgiving and then when it is over we will decorate and get ready for Christmas! They didn’t argue just said ok. I am not sure that they get it, but they didn’t argue and stopped asking. Friday we went to Grandma’s to help her decorate her tree(the kids and grandkids do it with her every year!). We had a great time with friends and family for the weekend.
Today we came home and went to a tree farm to pick out and cut down our own tree!! This will most definitely be a new tradition. It was so much fun and it was cheaper than other places. Nice!!! We brought it home, dug out all our Christmas decorations and bought some new garland. Now the tree is decorated and the house will be full of Christmas things by tomorrow night!! I LOVE decorating for Christmas, I just want to take one holiday at a time!
What do you do? Do you care when you start decorating? Do you insist on waiting or starting early? Do you decorate at all?
