Me: 11-15-2021 I don't think I want to put up our Christmas tree and the other decorations. Let's just put up a wreath on door, dear hubby.

Hubby: 11-16-2021 Ugggh, I'm sure you'll want the tree up, darling wife.

Me: 11-17-2021 I don't think so, I don't have the energy to do all of the decorating.

11-26-2021 While I'm asleep, he drags out our 9 feet tree and sets it up.

Me: 11-26-2021 7 a.m. I guess it will sit there until I get the energy to decorate it.

Me: 11-26-2021 7 p.m. Bam, decorating that dang tree like there's no tomorrow!


After removing every single decoration... I'm determined to put up this 'tree'... next year!

I love the festive tree in this pic of yours! :ROFLMAO: :love: :LOL::D:love:(y)
And it doubles as a nice, cheerful attractive air freshener, as well!

I can't top that holiday tree! :D (y) :love:
And since it earned a score of all 10's, from a group of very discerning judges,
I surely will not try!:LOL::ROFLMAO:

It took me a long while to figure if that was one of those pictures of the young girl or the older lady. Then it struck me. One cannot see the forest for the tress when one overthinks the obvious.

GUILTY!!!!!!!

Plunge right into that idea, Pam!

I think I will. It took us a couple of hours to store away the decorations in four LARGE plastic bins. One thing we did differently though; we were just throwing the stuff in the bins. No smaller bins with bubble wrap this year! I hope nothing breaks.

Hubby was doing some heavy breathing. Kind of exciting. lol

I couldn't straighten my back when all was done.

And that folks is why one should not be a hoarder!

😀😃😄😁😅🤣😂🙂🙃

For years, we put up a Christmas tree, and decorations, and hosted the family Christmas. Now, it's the kids turns. Our artificial tree, and boxes are decorations have been gathering dust in the basement for at least the last 6 or 8 years....suits us just fine.

I am trying my best to follow my late mother's traditions. Oh how she LIVED for Christmas. I can still remember candy dishes of old fashioned ribbon candy and bowls of fruit and so many other traditions.

p.s. @Don M. Oh and there's no children/kids here. Just the hubby and I.

I must admit that I have not put up the tree, since my husband passed 11 years ago. When my son's fiance and her son came to live with me, they did put up the tree, set up the little town of Bedford Falls, and all of the other decorations. Then they took it all down and put it away. I was fine with that. When they had married and saved enough to get their own home I sent everthing with them.

Last year when my grandson came to spend the night he asked me why I did'nt
have a Christmas tree. I told him my tree was now at his house but I woud get just a small one that would be here for him. I will set it up and you can decorate it.

Here's a thought: as retail season for Christmas starts around July 1, everybody should put up their trees now and avoid the rush! :sneaky:

I heard tell that a lot of Christmas tree stores vigorously suggest one should buy 2023's Christmas tree on the 26th day of December 2022. Don't know the truth, just what moi heard told.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Luv ya man.

Thanks! And I'm glad to see you found your "old self", FastTrax.

I don't know about you, but I'm thinking I need to steal that plunger-tree idea. The g-kids will give me a 10, for sure.
(thanks, @PamfromTx)
 
I haven't seen any Christmas commercials, but I've seen Hallowe'en costume ideas and recipes for Thanksgiving dinner on the web.

Christmas Eve is just 5 months from today. Have you started your shopping yet?

Hm. That's some strange sentence construction. ...recipes on the web for Thanksgiving dinner... because I've never had Thanksgiving dinner on the web :ROFLMAO: 🦃
