My house looks like a landing strip. I am expecting a plane to fly though the window any minute.

If it's fake tree then you can buy it anytime.  \n\nIf it's a real tree you should probably wait until it's a little closer to Christmas.

We have a 7 ft. artificial tree. I just bought this one. I always decorate my tree with blue and silver garland and glass ornaments. I also add the Hallmark ornaments my daughters get each year. I got a pre-lit tree this year so there's one thing I won't have to deal with...lol. My girls might finally be able to help with putting the angel on top.

ITS NOT CHRISTMAS UNLESS YOU GET A REAL TREE !!!!\n\n\nFake trees dont smell good and they look cheesy....\n\nReal trees smell like christmas, and although they have more matainence its worth it..

My Christmas tree is so full of stuff that you barely notice the tree!\nI have a really nice fake tree, but the more stuff you have on it, the less likely you are to notice the 'fake' parts.\n\nI love tons of multi-colored lights.  I have some that flash and some that don't, evenly dispersed throughout the tree.  I also use strands of non-flashing white lights amongst the colored, to really show off my crystal ornaments. I use gold and/or silver garland, lots and lots of ornaments, unique ones and also colored balls, also strategically spread out around the tree, and a small amount of carefully placed silver icicles to seal the deal.  It takes a lot of time to decorate, but year after year, everyone who sees it remarks on how beautiful it is.  And it truly is NOT tacky looking.  My husband & I spend our evenings admiring it throughout the holidays.  It has so much character that it really draws you in.\n\nThat's MY idea of how a Christmas tree should look, but that's the really cool thing about trees; it's a totally individual thing.  What works for one person isn't right for another.  I guess the question is what you want your tree to say about YOU.  Do you want simple and elegant or do you want lively and fun?\n\nHappy decorating!\n\nPolly

I usually put them up the day after Thanksgiving.\n\nMy mom started this a couple of years ago.  She has her grandkids decorate her tree on Thanksgiving day.  The kids love it.

I know this is like two months later. I would love to know how it went. What did you end up doing? Did the girls enjoy their time with you? I have no doubt that you all could have sat under a tree just talking and they would have loved their time with you. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

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!

Years ago, I saw a real tree that had been flocked a subdued shade of pink. It was at a very expensive Xmas tree lot near our house, so when the holiday was over, I could see that it was still there, and remained there until the owner cleaned up the lot.\nI wanted that tree. I loved it. It stood next to a powder blue one, and a white one,[ both  got sold,] right in the driveway. I was a kid, with no money, and my famaily made it a point to check to see if somebody bought it, everytime we went past the lot, which was often. We mourned when it's fate to never be owned became apparent. We wondered what kind a person had a house that could welcome  a pink tree.

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 !!!!

Eating traditional turkey dinner. Going around the neighborhood to watch the lights put up by house owners. Decorating my friend's Christmas Tree, as I live in an apartment, so no room for a BIG Christmas Tree. This year, it's my first time helping my church to decorate the santuary for Christmas. Other than that, not much, as my family doesn't celebrate Christmas. :-(
