I dunno. I should because it will
probably lift my mood, but I guess i'm
just too lazy. Plus our tree is a really
dinky plastic one that looks all weak and
sick. It's almost more depressing than
no tree.

Same here! My mum goes by the old saying
of if you put it up before 12days before
christmas is bad luck and you can't take
it down untill 12 days after christmas

I really don't like this new trend of
decorating the outside of houses for
christmas. A few twinkling lights is
pretty but when you've got a huge .Santa
and sleigh and an inflatable snowman and
god knows what else, it just looks tacky.

there's a house a few blocks from here
that goes all-out on .Christmas
decorations! Their house is always done
beautifully though, and the guy will
actually dress up as .Santa and sit on his
roof waving at cars it's
really nice! I plan on bringing .Aly by
one day to see!
But I know what you mean about tacky
decorations.

It is nice to just walk by when you have
young kids in the family and see them get
excited by what someone has done but
personally I won't be doing it myself
perhaps a sign saying please stop here
santa in the garden

I usrd to know the family that owned
.Mammoth mountain (a ski resort area) they
were very well to do, they lived in
.California by .Bishop they always had a
bunch of beautiful scenic decorations, I
would not have liked to pay for their
electric bills those months but it was
always the same thing year after year,
darn rich people, one of the churches
around here had a tree of lights but it
got to be so expensive with having to hire
security and people were ripping them off
anyway, it was reaal nice though, thry had
a bunch of scenic booths even my dr sang
in the choir a couple of nigh, he did a
lot for the church and for the kids. I
probably will not decorate this year. My
.Son is in iraq and my .Daughter will be
working and will probably go to her b/f
parents house for christmas so it will
probably be just my .Hubby and me and my
two dogs and the cat, we will brobably
just go to this buffet as we have a gift
certificate from them. I will miss the
smell of the christmas tree but it is just
to hard for me to cook a big meal. I am
just a scrooge this year with not much
holiday spirit, lol. I even have my
christmas shopping done, except for the
dogs.
