Decorating for Christmas
When do you do it? Real tree or artificial? Color scheme? Multiple trees/rooms? Outdoor decorating?

I currently live in a studio apartment, so I went out and bought a 4' pre-lit tree. I have a few decorations, but it just a few knick-knacks. I have a strand of lights that I typically wrap around the railing of my balcony, but they decided not to work this year. Looks like it's another trip to the store for lights and ornament hooks.

Also, do you have any traditions (i.e. family outing to find a tree, children making decorations, etc)?

GoChiefs is pretty busy during the holidays. Not sure if he'd be able to make it.

Have expressed a similar plan with my wife with same results. What we need to create is a new holiday. This would give us cover. Call it Festivus. Oh wait, already taken.

Yeah I kind of agree. The best part of Christmas is...when its over, and your sitting by the fire with your gal drinking Bourbon.

yep. I mean, honestly...it's basically Christmas all year for my wife and I. I suppose is might be different if we had kids...

but we're both from divorced families etc. Christmas is spent driving all over town. We're completely exhausted by the end of the day.

if you go to just about anyplace around here that sells live Christmas trees, look real close at the needles and end tips of the branches. you'll notice a different shade of green.
I asked the lady that owns the Christmas tree farm and she told me they used some type of food coloring to make them look more "green".

I'm a day after Thanksgiving guy.

Since we built a new house I have not done anything outside. One of the conditions of selling my old place was that they could keep the Christmas lights. The only thing that sucks is that I had a ton of those ceramic lights. I had a pretty rocking blue spruce in the front yard. I think I have somewhere close to 1000 lights on that thing.

My wife and I don't have kids, so our main room has the tree in it. It's themed, it matches everything else. Reflects her dutch heritage. Blues and whites. I use an artificial tree but freshen it up with some eucalyptus to give me that fresh tree smell.

Usually a week or two after Thanksgiving we get a real tree. I'll never have an artificial one. Other than the tree, not much in decorations. Just a few Christmasy knick-knacks around the house.

As for traditions, my wife and I buy a new Hallmark ornament with the year on it each year. Have done this since we got married. We also play Christmas music and drink White Russians while we decorate.
