Tradition Or When You Can?

Well, it’s officially after Thanksgiving and I can morally feel okay about decorating for Christmas.  I know some of you already have your Christmas stuff up and Thanksgiving and I can forgive you for that, but I’ve never even thought about bringing out the old Christmas tree before December 1st.  Not because I don’t like to, but just because it feels weird.

So, today Kristin and I started the “Christmas decorations” talk and it looks like we might do some prep work today and ‘officially’ decorate tomorrow.  Tree, house lights, stockings, the whole deal…. complete with hot chocolate and the movie ‘Elf’.

So what’s your decoration strategy?  Do you have a set day that you do things?  Any yearly traditions?  Or is it just a ‘whenever you can talk dad into breaking out the ladder to go out in the cold and put up some lights’ kind of thing?

We don’t have a specific day that we do things but it’s always, always after Thanksgiving.
