Is your Christmas tree up?

Last night we put up Christmas tree. I usually have it up before advent- but I was slow this year.
I wanted to buy a new tree but the kids looked offended at the suggestion. Our current tree was bought when my now 13 year old boy was a 4 month old baby. I was informed that I couldn't throw out "our" tree. It has been bounced around through many moves., it is misshapen and older artificial trees tend to look thin. But my stubborn kids insist that we keep it.
I did buy some new LED lights- they don't heat up and they are more energy efficient and cheaper to operate. The ones I have are fatter and remind me of the ones my family put on the tree in the 60's! (my family are packrats so they were probably from the 50's and I know they were used until the 80's)

No, our tree isn't up yet. Every year we put it up on Thanksgiving night, or the next night. This is the first year, we aren't putting up our tree. We are leaving in 2 weeks for a 3 week vacation to my moms and brothers homes. So we are not going to put up a tree here. However, I did do a little bit of outside decorating, as well as a few Christmas things I put in the kitchen and family rooms.

Mine's up ! I have that thing out and up the morning after Thanksgiving ! My mom was never much into Christmas, so when I got married and had my own house, I figured out that I could get out the decorations whenever I wanted, lol !
