Christmas!

we get our tree after thanksgiving

I'm sooo ready for christmas! It always "feels" good. I'm not buying anything this year (except for my 2 nephews and 2 neices) cause I'm broke. Everything we have extra we are putting away seeing as how I'm not working after Carly is born! I'm ready to burn wood in the fire place and sleep in the living room cuddled up to Ryan. That's what my christmas consist of every year usually!

ahh thats one thing i iwsh we had is a fireplace!!!

do you have a once upon a child where you live? you may want to shop there! they have GREAT deals and prices on basically new stuff!!!

HECK YEAH!!!! I've already been! I want twice already! I intend on doing most of my shopping there seeing as how it's cheap and babies grow FAST! That is what my cousin dosen't give me as hand-me-downs I'll go buy there! Believe me she has plenty to give me....she has 8 kids and is working on number 9! And she's only 37. Way too many kids. I think they jus fall out now! I doubt she even has to push anymore! lol

and the good thing is you can always resell clothes to them and buy bigger sizes etc
weve got one about 30 minutes away
i went in the beginning when we first found out it was a girl
havent been since

Its gotten to where one holiday runs into the other, and yet, the holiday itself has not even begun to start and finish. Stores have Halloween things out and Thanksgiving together, and before the 31st of Oct, theres Chritsmas trees going up........What happened to TRADITION? Halloween things go up the first week of Oct. Thanksgiving things go the week after Halloween and Christmas trees and Christmas goes up the first week of December..........by then,Christmas tees alwasy go down before the fist day of JAnuary new year........ first week of New Years Day, celebration for the New Year. First week of Feb, we have Valentines day to looks forward too. March 17th, St. Pattys Day and green green, green.....April first week, EASTER.........MAy and June, I usually put out my flower flags and welcomes SPring things. JUly 4th, Happy Birthday America.... Aug, is usually back to school. Sept is labor day and then its time for HAlloween again! thats just the way I have always done things for the past 50 years.....and I'm not about to start running one special even into another!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ur aunt is crazy putting that stuff up already!! Everyone i know waits til the day after thanksgiving.

I know she always does it early like that! She's weird anyways....but that's a topic in itself!

We usually put ours up the first weekend in December. My husband will put up the outside decorations and I'll do the inside. It's going to be SO much fun this year, being my baby's first Christmas. She'll only be 4 months old then, so she won't know what's going on, but it'll still be fun!!!!

Well I have to help my grandmother get her decorations up the day after Thanksgiving... So I might be putting mine up that Saturday.... if I'm not all pooped out and stuffed with turkey... mmmmmm

I'm so excited for Christmas, the most I have ever been. I want to put the tree up now but I'll wait at least another 2 - 3 weeks... I use to hate Christmas, but I guess now we're a little "family" in our own place and it's our first, so I'm really really excited.

We don't really have that much room for a tree and Rowan might try eating the pines!

We've already had thanks giving here in Canada.

we usually put it anytime in nov. I prefer putting it early on because its over 6 feet tall and it takes forever to decorate.....

We put our tree & everything up right after Thanksgiving. We need to go buy some gates or something so I can keep Kaylee from climbing the tree!

we used to put ours up the first sunday of december at my mums, so i guess any time around then

We are decorating the day after thanksgiving! CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't know what we're going to do. i don't know if we can even get a tree because of finn. he gets into everything and i know he wouldn't leave it alone. even if we put all the ornaments up high he'd still be pulling on branches and try to eat the pine needles.

if we do get one, we'll probably wait until the week or two before christmas. ideally i'd like to put it up the first saturday in december.

we don't have anywhere we could block off for a tree. i'd have to get one of those giant gates that could go around it, and those are expensive.

it won't feel like christmas without a tree though!
