I really love having the house decked out for Christmas.  I think next year we may start before Thanksgiving just so we can enjoy it longer.  This year we put up our tree for Family Home Evening the Monday after Thanksgiving.

I love seeing my kids reaching way up high to put that special ornament as high as they can...

The funny thing is, later that week we decided we needed a new tree (the old one was pretty old and small and beat up - we'd had it for 13 years!).  We bought a new one and ended up redecorating the tree.  It was twice the fun!  We put our old tree in the game room upstairs.  It's always fun to have a second tree.
