well my mom and I start putting Christmas decorations up gradually at the beginning of December but we don't get the tree until the week before Christmas so that it is fresh for Christmas. We decorate the tree a couple days before Christmas and we paly music while we do it.

My tree gets covered in hundreds of decorations. We get some new ones each year plus some that I inherited from my tree as a kid and the ones my own kids have made over the years. Keep them spaced and even and you'll be fine. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas, remembering that it's the spirit of the season, sharing and giving, not just of gifts but of ourselves.It's not about stressing over having everything perfect.

I have a very pretty angel that my mom in law bought at Canadian Tire. She actually matches the decor in both my living room and my family room. She's like a porcelain doll and I'm still warming up to her .That's about as matchy matchy to the decor as I get because everything else on my tree has a story.  I have ornaments from both my grandmothers trees, my parents and things that I've made or collected. I even do still have the angel from my childhood tree and am thinking of incorporating her into a wreath. She's very early 1970's with a "homespun" dress and yarn hair.

I hope you light it up and make it as bright and wonderful as you can! My most favorite Christmas memory was when I lived in a trailer with my mom and my younger brother. We had very little money, but we were very crafty and we turned that place into a winter wonderland. We even ended up sheltering some friends when a winter storm broke their windows. It was close quarters, and we all sat around, snowed in and drank coffee and played board games. It was wonderful !!!!!\nIt was a very blessed Christmas, and I hope you have the same!\n\nA Blessed Christmas to all !!!!

Well, here in America, there is a movement afoot to return Christ to Christmas again. In Portland, Maine we are having an argument about what to call the Christmas tree in our town square. The city fathers insist it is a holiday tree, so as not to offend anyone, but of course all the Christians are offended because they know it's a Christmas tree. Great attitude to set the stage for a happy Christmas, huh. And so it goes. I just spent about three hours up in our attic trimming down all our Christmas things and I brought it over to the waitstaff where we have our lunch every day - Newick's Restaurant. Now I have just TWO boxes of things as compared to FOURTEEN boxes a year ago. You have to get the whole thing under control or you will knock yourself out for nothing all over again. Every year is the same. But if you take it all apart before the season "kicks in" (gets under way), then there is a good chance you will be able to get it under control. But you have to be determined. Some people go all out at Christmas, and they also decorate their homes with millions of lights. My partner and I have been together for forty-seven years and we are very modest now in our celebration of the season. We have a four-foot little tree with lots of little coloured lights that twinkle in the darkened living room, and it looks just lovely. Between the two of us we send about forty cards. Three gifts. And that is it. I like to meditate on Christmas in complete silence, because that is where I find the real meaning to me of what Christmas and Christ are all about. By the way, Merry Christmas to you and everyone reading this. Sent with happy energies from Chris in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A. (I am 63 years old.)

YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS A CHILD (I'M 61)  THAT WAS THE CUSTOM\n\nCHRISTMAS TREES WERE ALWAYS, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, PUT UP ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND TAKEN DOWN ON ''LITTLE CHRISTMAS'' JAN. 6TH....I STILL CARRY ON THAT TRADITION FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN.

I don't think so. When I get home today I'm going to start putting Christmas lights on my house. People may think I'm nuts but I don't care. Me and my family lost our home last year because of Katrina. I'm not complaining because we did have a Christmas and we could have had it a lot worse but I told my kids we would make up for it this year. So this will be our first Christmas in our new house and we want to make it memorable. So I say to go ahead and put it up! Merry Christmas!
