It's my goal to get the tree up and decorated by the end of the day.  I'm also hoping the weather holds so we can put up Christmas lights outside. 

Who else is decorating today?  If you want post pictures of the 'after'.  :)

I'll be back with some when/if I finish!

I put my lights up about 3 weeks ago when the weather was lovely outside.  Haven't turned them on yet - will do this weekend.  Tomorrow am putting the outside and inside decorations up - I just love the house when it's all Christmassed up!

It's just too early for us.  If I put stuff up this early, I'm plain sick of the clutter by Christmas and ready to pull it down.  We'll wait a week or two.

I normally decorate the day after T-Day but this year I am doing a whole new theme.... we bought a new house last winter and it's a log cabin house.... all my stuff is uber-modern so I need to star from scratch with old fashioned stuff... and I can't get into the city (80 miles away) to target, michaels, etc..... until tomorrow... so I will decorate on Sunday.

Edited to add - I am also doing only fresh greens this year. I ordered garlands and wreaths from the florist and we will do a live tree as well... we will get that next weekend

Even for the outside lights, I didn't use any icicles and all the bright pinks and blues and purples.... I bought the old fashioned big bulbs I remember from my childhood and lines the house with those and then did simple white lights around the 700 feet of hitchrail fence in the front yard.

Not me.

I used to decorate on my birthday which is next week, but these days with the grandkids and their excitement I think I will hold off a while.

I swear we had insomniacs from the time we put up the tree last yr.

If I didn't have to work today they'd have gone up today but they'll go up tomorrow. I just got done putting up the office tree at work and it's lovely

We're bringing DS to the grandparent's tonight, so tomorrow we can clean some of the clutter from the attic and bring down our holiday decorations.  I'm so excited because this is the first time in 5 years that we'll be decorating.  We're usually not at home for the holidays, but we're doing it all for DS.

Not me but my daughter is. She had her dad pull down all the stuff last night and today, after work, she and her boyfriend are going to decorate. It's not a 'chore' I've given her, she just likes to do it.

There are people in my neighborhood who have had theirs up for two weeks now!
