Any of y'all gotta 'em up yet...My oldest daughter has been busy 'round here...makes the place look...festive'...!...

Smokin Guns · 11-27-2007, 06:47 PM

Also...I should have asked...How much of it have y'all done yourself vs. someone else doing it for you...

Bah, humbug! No Xmas tree since the kids left home! What is not put up, does not have to be taken down!

berto64 · 11-27-2007, 10:26 PM

My daughter is putting the finishing touches on our faux tree as I type.

Got some snow earlier this evening.

pickenup · 11-27-2007, 11:22 PM

Not yet, she will not let me help, and she has been busy with other tasks.

Warpaint · 11-27-2007, 11:23 PM

Ours went up Thanksgiving Day, and my son put the ornaments on it the day after.

Now . . .

For the outside stuff!! God help us all!!!!!!!!

Bruce FLinch · 11-27-2007, 11:44 PM

Well...we got our first Christmas card today......

Since I just painted the house I hate to put in new staples, etc, in my new paint job. That was my excuse for (lack of) Halloween decorations, too!

rosierita · 11-28-2007, 06:06 AM

eh ~ i'm having a hard time getting into the mood to set ours up. i usually put up a minimum of 3 trees & i have put up 4 before.

this yr i'll be doing good to get 1 set up & decorated.

i usually have them up by now...

358 winchester · 11-28-2007, 06:52 AM

I don't do decorations but Carla does and she has been busy

300 H&H · 11-28-2007, 07:59 AM

Pistolenschutze · 11-28-2007, 12:35 PM

Well, Rosie, to get in the spirit, you could always make up some nice holiday decorations out of chicken feathers.

pickenup · 11-28-2007, 03:33 PM

Rosie, anything we can do to help cheer you up?

Bruce, stick to that story.

SouthernMoss · 11-28-2007, 09:13 PM

We'll probably put up our tree and decorate the front door this weekend.

Hey SG, post up some pics of your daughter's efforts!

noslolo · 11-29-2007, 03:25 AM

I have not been in the mood this year, but by next week my wife and kids will hang decorations or me, what ever comes first.

rosierita · 11-29-2007, 06:57 AM

we still havent gotten the tree out....

y'all can cheer me up by telling me its OKAY to skip christmas this yr.

where is the FAST FORWARD button when you need it?!

358 winchester · 11-29-2007, 07:11 AM

Rosie it is OK to skip Christmas this year

Just tear Dec. off the calender on Friday and skip the entire month

Tell everyone around you that Dec. was canceled due to lack of energy this year.
But you and I both know that you are a tuff lady and will do Christmas any way

rosierita · 11-29-2007, 10:20 AM
