Christmas season discussions. (2025)

I did real trees for years, but it’s a bigger mess and I got tied of it. I bought an artificial tree but not a green one….I'm not trying to fool anybody. I bought a fake prelit white tree. We typically go out of town for Christmas and I don’t like coming back to take down decorations so ours are minimal.
 
We'll put up our tree and decorations on Friday, after Thanksgiving, as God intended.

Except for the cute outdoor Rudolph I bought last year. He's so adorable that after Christmas I didn't want to take him down immediately and now he's lived next to my steps all year. :ROFLMAO: We'll see how long he makes it post-Christmas this year.
 
It was a beautiful spring day here, mid 70’s… just doesn’t feel like Christmastime yet, tho I know that time is near. A couple houses are already decorated in town.
Getting a live tree on Wednesday before Thanksgiving (the tree farms are always packed the day after Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving weekend, I’ve learned to grab ours the day before.)
 
I usually like decorating and putting out lights but just hard for me to get into it this year.
Yes...I was Clark Griswold until last year and I just didnt want to do it any longer. That stretched into this year as well. Im OK with it. I think I realized I was doing it for the recognition of it and not because I actually enjoyed it myself. I totally love the decorations others put out, but just no longer care to do it myself.
