walkers walk… but runners fly

So, This Happened…

We got our Christmas tree!  We were having a family meeting about our change of schedule this year.  We won’t be able to decorate the tree on Black Friday because there’s a high school football game.  Would everyone be okay if we decorated on Thanksgiving?  Yes, my son said- OR we could just go out and get the tree today!

Yes!  Yes!  Once he suggested it, I couldn’t wait to do it.

Daughter’s face blurred at her request, as always.

Since everyone seemed amenable to changes, I tried something else.  Would anyone object to changing from colored lights to white?  Unfortunately, that was a bridge too far.  One person almost had a meltdown over that idea, so we’ll continue with colored lights.  I don’t want to ruin anyone’s Christmas!

It is a pudgy tree!

We’ll let the branches open up for a day, and then I’ll get the (colored) lights on it tomorrow.  It smells sooooo good.  I’m excited!

If you celebrate Christmas, is your tree up?  Or is it too early?

Colored lights, or white?

  1. I like your pudgy tree! I have always had a strict rule not to put the Christmas tree up until the day after Thanksgiving, but rules are made to be broken and I put our tree up on Thursday. For the first time in ages we are not hosting Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving day is on the later side this year, so why not? I always use white lights on the indoor tree, but we put multi-color lights on our huge holly outside.

  2. You can get lights that change! We have lights that can be white or colored or change back and forth. We just put up our tree and the lights are changing every 10 seconds. I love them. The tree looks so different with white and colors and I love both ways! I’m so glad I don’t have to pick.
