    Default Have you started your Christmas decorating yet?

    I've been working on mine since Friday. Can't do the outside because of the rain right now but I'm working on the inside. I love Christmas.

    the tree is up in my classroom and the children and I are working on ornaments!!

    Don't think I'll be able to do anything at home until this coming weekend.

    We give all the grandkids and kids cash. I did, however, purchase my DH and me KINDLES! We love to read and this will be great. His & hers, so there won't be any fussing over them!

    Nope. Typically, we always put up the tree the day after Thanksgiving. We didn't get to do that last year since I was in the hospital with Moo and this year we didn't since we were celebrating her first birthday.

    I had hoped to do it this weekend, but hubby has Guard. I'm shooting for the 7th when hubby has training during the day and we can put the tree up that evening.

    Not yet - not sure what I'll be doing this year. Need to see when we're moving DF's things into my house - before or after Christmas. At the least...I'll put up one or both of our mini Christmas trees and or a string a of lights by the window for inside.

    Hopefully the tree will be up this weekend. We need to rearrange the living room a little bit first. The usual tree spot has been taken over by DD2's toys!
