Ours has been up since right after Halloween- but no ornaments. Kate was having a bad day, and I dragged the tree upstairs as a bribe to be a cheery girl (it worked for a few hours). I put the ornaments on this week. Anyway- we have an artifical tree since it is usually up with and without ornaments for about 3 months. Also, everyone in my house except me is allergic to one Christmas plant or another- amaryllis seems to be the only live plant that doesn't kill somebody!
Clark and Rusty (Bdarg and Will) put up the lights around the front door today- plus adorned a few bushes, and hung a couple of those light sphere-things, that we call "Christmas Balls". There have been a lot of laughs over our brightly lit balls!
After the New Year, the ornaments wil come off, the tree will be moved to the corner, but we will keep it up with the lights on for fun. It is one of those tall fake "alpine' trees", so it can just look winterery and not to Christmasy after the holidays.

I am thinking about sharing someone else's tree. I won't claim one just yet because I am waiting to see who has the coolest one to drive by every night and say, "I love my Christmas tree."
Cute ideas all!!! I dragged Mr. Kitty into the candle store today on a hunt for candles that "smell" like a tree since we will NOT have one this year. I found a few, but the best thing was one of those contraptions that you put the sticks down in the bottle of smelly liquid that then disperses the aroma throughout the room! It really smells like Christmas now!!! I REALLY need pics of your trees this year...and send some cookies while you're at it!!!!
My trees are "up" but sadly, there is nothing on them.
I'm just barely finished with mine. It's sad... it used to be I would carefully place special ornaments in special spots, now I just manage to get them on! I finally realized that people don't look at your tree or the ornaments anyway, so who cares?lindabobhat said:

My tree will be going up on Saturday as my nieces are coming to decorate it. This is a yearly tradition that we have managed to keep up although they now live 2 1/2 hours away. Once the tree is decorated, we will be baking cookies. I usually find cookie dough all over the house - even under the tree.
mermaid - i saw on the LL Bean website this afternoon a balsam wreath with a beachy theme, there were starfish and i think maybe sand dollars on it. i am lucky - i always work thanksgiving and my husband puts our tree up thanksgiving night while i am at work. i get home at 6:30 am and eureka ! there's a tree !
Bless his heart, my husband assembled the tree this morning. He also got the boxes of ornaments out of the attic. I managed to hang the wreath on the door. That's as far as we've gotten.
