At our local Walmart, they started putting the Christmas stuff out when they put up the Helloween stuff. Come to think of it, so did Lowe's.<BR/><BR/>Our tree goes up the day after Thanksgiving and comes down Christmas night. As we dont do lots of presents and everything is put where it belongs, I dont see the need to leave it out. Its up for just over 30 days this year. <BR/><BR/>"I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" should be banned before December 15 and should only be played once every three hours!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-78881020647191644142007-11-20T12:09:00.000-06:002007-11-20T12:09:00.000-06:00I love giving every holiday their respect and time...I love giving every holiday their respect and time. <BR/>I wish there were no costly presents involved, only handmade or books.

Growing up we put the tree up on Christmas Eve, I guess some people would think that crazy today, but I think it made it more magical. And to tell you the truth if I were to put up decoratins too early I would be sick of looking at them.<BR/>Besides, I have always loved Thanksgiving, and hey, this is the first year since Katrina, that I can cook a turkey!!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567328524291216461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-62609223313716859042007-11-18T12:52:00.000-06:002007-11-18T12:52:00.000-06:00Hi Julie,Love the art you choose for your blog!

This year I'm doing it differently - all part of my 'simplicity' outlook. Just going away for Thanksgiving - Bob and I - enjoying some mountain air and letting someone else do the cooking so we can really savor the tastes, smells and sights of Thanksgiving and be really thankful. Then..........we'll start thinking about Christmas - use what we have to decorate - donate to charities rather than buy adults gifts. Then sit by the fire and remember why we have Christmas...the real reason for that wonderful season!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the story about your dear hubby - my goodness what a terrible experience for him and thousands like him - it was a terrible time in the history of this country and now we are going through another.
