Christmas Decorating Tradition

When do you decorate for Christmas?


It's been family tradition for us to put up the tree the day after Thanksgiving. I guess we were moving too slowly and the kids decided to do it themselves. They dragged the 50lb tree from storage downstairs and pushed it up themselves. These were the youngest 4. Then they set up as many things as they could, including the tree with Zach's help. They did a great job. Before we moved to MO we used to have 2 trees in the house. A fancy one and a fun one they could decorate. I think the real motivation behind their enthusiasm was that they didn't want to have a fancy tree, they prefer the fun tree. The one they can rearrange every other day. Looks like a holiday postcard.
