2. My dear PeaceWave! Do whatever makes you and yours happy!

Your tree sounds wonderful! Happy Holidays to you and yours!

3. I know people who put theirs up early because

Family is coming before Christmas but they still want to celebrate together. I know if a service member is coming, up goes the Christmas tree right away. Everyone has their reasons so if it makes ya happy.. happy holidays/Merry Christmas 🎄

5. I do the opposite per se...I keep some of my decorations up to near Springtime after puttng them up a week before , or..

... even Christmas eve.

This year I wzntvto make some kind of wreath. I have to get to Michaels, and figure out what to do. 😄

I also have mildly fringy "gold" yarn to make sone kind hanging thing! I should take it out of one of my small yarn boxes on my table to prompt me!

6. Early Christmas

I believe everyone could use a little extra joy this year, so I am putting my large tree up before Thanksgiving too. I have a little tree decorated with fall ornaments on my living room coffee table. My fiber optic tree is midsize, and I keep that up until after Easter, changing ornaments for the season, New Years, Valentines Day, St. Patrick's Day and Easter. Do whatever brings you happiness.

7. I saw a Christmas tree in someone's window the other day

at first I thought, jeez, isn't that a bit early? But then as I appreciated it I thought, I NEED THIS, THIS YEAR. Yes indeed. Carry on!

8. I love the Holidays

I listen to Christmas music in June.

9. Nice to know I'm not alone!

My tree went up last week, and I'll spend the next few weeks rearranging the ornaments. In times of darkness, light is called for. The colorful and happy decorations are a most appropriate response to the anti-Christmas currently squatting in what's left of our White House. Next week the Christmas vinyls take the stage. Bingle jells!

11. i live with 4 little xmas trees all year

i love the lights and they make wonderful night lights in the evening hours
my trees:
1. 3 ft silver fiber optic on the piano. when the fiber optic lites finally burned out i started wrapping a string of lights on it. i've had it for at least 20 years

2. 3 ft green traditional, just add a string of lights (in office)

3. 4 ft rope lite spiral indoor/outdoor tree that lives in the bedroom

4. 2 ft ornament tree (no lites--just pretty) that sits on a video cabinet in living room. (got it at michael's or target last year)

it isn't that i love xmas trees and xmas as much as i love the lights. i also have a string of lights around the big bookcase in living room and a string of lights wrapped around my headboard.

when i had my house there was always a string of lights around one of the kitchen windows and another around a doorway in the dining room.

i called them fairy lights

i also keep a lot of halloween (witchy/ghostie/vintage) up year round. i love autumn & winter. and snow! lol

putting up a big tree in early november? why not?
i haven't had a big tree since i moved to condoland nearly a decade ago (no place to store it inside and didn't have the stamina to be carrying it down steps to a detached garage)

enjoy the warm feelings, the love, the memories, and happiness your holiday tree brings to you.

12. One of my small ones has been up all year with the lights

turned one. I'll put up a larger tree after Thanksgiving, do what makes you feel happy!

[Bettie]

13. Do what makes you happy

at this point, we need to do the things that bring us joy.

There is FAR too little joy in the world these days.
