Yes, today I began putting up the Christmas tree. It is up, but no decorations yet. This Christmas is going to be weird and I really didn't want to put the tree up, but for the kids I want it to feel like Christmas. You see we are breaking tradition this year and are not going to be home for Christmas. It is actually going to be somewhat crazy. We are having Josey's birthday party the first weekend in Dec., and the next we will be in Tyler having Christmas with my family. We will be home for a weekend and then leave on a Tuesday to spend Christmas in Vegas with Joey's family. So in order for the kids to feel like it is Christmas I am going ahead and putting up the tree. We will have to open gifts before we go to Vegas because extra baggage is not that much fun when you are almost 6 months pregnant with two little ones and all of the carry-ons they have. Getting through the airport can be difficult enough without having an extra suitcase for just gifts and then add another for everything to come back home in.
So, all of that to say I am breaking the don't put your Christmas tree up until after Thanksgiving rule. Oh well.

You know I'm all for it. I'll be putting ours up on Tuesday while Chad is at work :)
Who made that "don't put your Christmas tree up until after Thanksgiving" rule anyway?
It wasn't me....plus I don't really like rules anyway. You won't be alone. It's cool here today so that's why I'll be doing to. Plus, we were driving around town earlier this week and noticed quite a few with their trees up and lighted and lights outside too, so maybe everyone is tired of that dumb "rule." Have fun!
I've heard of people putting up their tree on Christmas eve. Talk about a lot of work for not much payoff. Mom, I thought you made up the "don't put your Christmas tree up until after Thanksgiving rule" since that's the way we always did it.
How about the "you must take your Christmas tree down before January 1st or you will have bad luck all year" rule?
