    Question How many Christmas trees will you decorate this year?

    We always do only one, but my best friend has a huge home and she has a tree in each room on the main floor and one downstairs in her rec room as well.

    How about you?

    Just one. One is more than enough. I don't have a home that is big enough to do more than that.

    One, and I'm lucky to get it done. We always have a real tree, and we get it and decorate it about 1 1/2 weeeks before Christmas.

    We have a BIG one downstairs (real) and I've got 3 small ones upstairs in each bedroom. I love the kids seeing the lights in their little trees at night time (and mine too!! )

    IF I put one up this year it will be a small table top one. Last year was a real challenge with Toby and Ralph climbing in it all the time and even knocking it over once! Sidney and Oliver get into things worse than they did and I just don't have the energy this year to keep them out of it.

    Hopefully I'll get a tree this year. Right now we only have a table top tree.

    I finally got the big tree up in the downstairs den and the other tree up in the playroom. I decorated the big one and just put the lights on the other one. DD put the decorations on that one. It took me 2 days and I am still recovering from it. It really exhausts me and taking it down completely wears me out for days. The old gray mare just ain't what she used to be!!!

    We have a tabletop one and just got the new to us artificial one, so two this year. The tabletop one doesn't need to be decorated. It has a star at the top, is fiber optic, and has little bulbs attached.

    Just one. I don't know why I don't enjoy putting them up and taking them down...I love the ornaments a lot.

    I've got you all beat..... try ELEVEN trees! And, no, I'm not kidding.

    We put up eight full-sized trees at work at work, and I do two full sized and one mini tree at home. (I'm the Activity Director in a nursing home.)

    And yes, I still love Christmas!
