Christmas Tree?!
Growing up my parents would always purchase a real Christmas
tree. We would usually go as a family to pick out the tree. Occasionally, my
Dad would come home with one. Our family
tradition was to put our tree up a day after Thanksgiving and decorate it that
same day. My mother would typically take
the tree down on New Year’s Day.
Now that I have my own family, I continued the tradition of
putting the tree up a day after Thanksgiving. (The mister really didn't have a
family tradition) However, I always go with a fake Christmas tree and usually decorate
the tree by myself.
Now that I am in the blogger universe, I noticed that some
people put there tree up as early as November 1st and I truly love
that idea (the sooner the better).
I would love to know what your family tradition is. Do you
put a tree up? When?
Thanks For Stopping By!

We go and pick out our tree the first Saturday in December and decorate it as a family. It has been tradition to take down all Christmas decorations before New Years, starting the year off with a clean slate.
ReplyDeleteWe have two trees! The one on the main floor goes up and is decorated by myself mid-November. The one in the downstairs family room goes up mid-November and hubby does the lights and then we wait to decorate it until our daughter gets home from school which is usually early to mid-December.
