I wrote this last week and then lost my internet so I couldn't post it before Thanksgiving! I'm borrowing someone's internet today to play catch up so I'll post about the holiday later. My internet will be running again on Tuesday, so until then I'll miss ya'll!!!
I have a rule that says No Christmas BEFORE Thanksgiving. That goes for songs, decorations, etc, etc. The only thing that I have given in to is putting the tree together (but not decorating it) just a few days before Thanksgiving because we are always out of town for Thanksgiving and we like to come home and decorate the tree.
So Marc pulled out the tree on Sunday and began setting it up. The two older children got involved and were able to set up the entire tree. AMAZING! I knew there was a good reason we had those kids. This was the first year Marc didn't have to do it all by himself. I know you're wondering what I'm doing during the tree set up but basically, I just refuse. I HATE setting up the tree.
Our only problem this year is that we couldn't set up a tree without it being decorate because our home is for sale and we have showings happening. So, I conceded and we decorated the tree. It is now two days before Thanksgiving and I have a fully decorated tree and Christmas music is playing throughout the house. And you know, I kinda like it.

I'm totally with you on the no-Christmas-before-it's-Christmas rule. My kids think I'm a scrooge. And well, I guess they're right. But I like to think I'm just keeping everyone from blurring the lines.
I think I'll follow your lead and let the kids and my husband do the tree this year!
Good girl! You can justify it by saying that we don't have very long between Christmas and Thanksgiving this year as Thanksgiving was later this year. How about that?!
Happy Holidays!
I was a bad girl this year and put my stuff up before Thanksgiving too. I'm glad I did because this weekend and this coming week are going to be really busy. But I felt kinda naughty doing it!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We just put our tree last night. It's not my favorite family activity. Now I get to clean up the mess. It's all worth it, right?
Have a great day! And hopefully you're internet is up and going today. yay!
