If my daughter reads your post....

First thing she'll do is lambast me for insisting we wait til after Thanksgiving and then the boxes in the shed, attic, and closets will be brought out... by tonight we'll be fully decorated.

Purchasing, however, has begun.... actually new 'decoration purchasing' began a couple of months ago. My granddaughter's plan is for a Christmas tree in every room this year. I don't mean a 'large' tree in every room but rather our huge main tree and then smaller trees elsewhere to include... bathrooms!!!!

We do minimal outdoor decorations. One strand of lights around the house, a wreath on the front door, a blow up Snowman or Santa or something like that and one or two of those laser thingie's that paint, (with lights), a Christmas scene on the side of the house. - JamesJM
