I can't wait any longer.
I must put up my Christmas tree! Or should I say, one of my Christmas trees.
At last count, I think we have 5 Christmas trees. I know I should wait until after Thanksgiving to put them up, but I really, really want to put one up today! How nice it would be to put on some Christmas music, put the guys to work bringing down and setting up the tree while I make an Apple Pie for Thanksgiving, and then my daughter and I can put the ornaments on!
I think today we'll just put up our main tree in the Living Room. Ok, maybe also some of the decorations in the Living Room too. And maybe also the outdoor lights. But that's it.
The rest will wait until the day after Thanksgiving. The kids each have a tree in their rooms and they will decorate those themselves. We also have my husband's tree- the Police Tree. I'm not a "good" police wife who lets her husband decorate year round with police memorabilia (we do have a print of the National Law Enforcement Officer Memorial on the wall, right next to his framed advanced certificate, but those are down a hallway). But when Christmas comes along, we put up the Police Tree, add the blue lights (that blink at a variety of speeds- it's really pretty cool!) and the police ornaments. The master bedroom and kitchen each have a tabletop tree to add to the festivities.
Because it's so much work to put all of the Christmas decorations up, I like to do that around Thanksgiving and leave them up until a week into January. We like sitting in the Living Room at night, with only the lights of the Christmas tree on, either listening to Christmas music or watching a Christmas movie.
It's my favorite time of the year!
