The tree is up


 Well our Christmas tree went up Nov 29th!  I debated bothering to put it up, it seems like so much effort these days, but it wasn't really and I think husband M and son K noticed.  Each year I put out less decorations too.

This is an ornament I painted awhile back.  I am glad I decided to decorate, the house is full of Christmas spirit!

I love that ornament. And good for you for simplifying things as time goes on.

I think it's great that you've decided to decorate for Christmas and it immediately creates a different mood inside.

Happy Holidays! We usually don't set up a tree...cats would love it, but it would be a chaos.

Oh, how wonderful. Yes, I hate the part of putting up the actual artificial tree. I still haven't done it yet. Happy Holidays!

I don't have any Christmas decor here. Too much work.

I've cut back on Christmas decorations, but I don't think I will ever be able to go without a tree.

I sometimes think I won't decorate much, but it is so much fun once I get started that I keep on going. And it does make a festive home.

It's a sparse Christmas here. I can't move everything by myself so I've only brought out a few things.
