Poll question: Should I put up my Christmas Tree tonight? |
|
As a pastor, things get very hectic at Christmastime. Some years, I have just thrown a string of lights on a ficus tree. Because of my allergies, I have a really good artificial tree, and about 1,000 lights (because there should be a LOT of lights!)
I'll be at my parents' on Thanksgiving weekend, and after that, things get busy really fast.
So, should I put up my Christmas Tree tonight?

If this is when you have the time, do it. Putting up a Christmas tree is usually a day-long event.

6. Sure, I'm shooting for this weekend. |
|
I'm doing housework, getting the floor clean and all that in the evenings this week. Saturday I will put up my tree. I'll see how far I get.
I hadn't felt like putting up the tree the past couple of years, but this year I got the spirit again! :D I wanna see the pretty tree for as long as possible. :D

I see you're in Durham! I lived there for 4 years while going to Divinity School. Glad you got the Christmas spirit! :)

I see you're from Wisconsin. The Christmas tree lights will help brighten these short dark days. Enjoy!

8. I was actually wondering if I should put mine up this weekend. |
|
I usually do it the weekend following Thanksgiving. It's such a pain in the ass to do it, I figure if I'm going to go through the hassle, I want to enjoy it for more than just a couple of weeks.
This Thanksgiving I'll also be out of town, at my mom's, and may not get around to putting it up. I have all artificial stuff too!
It's really entirely too early for me to do it, but you certainly have a good excuse. Being a pastor, this must be one of your busiest seasons, no?
Go for it!!

11. Hey if its fake, what does it matter? |
|
If it makes you happy do it. Your post made me laugh cuz I just rec'd the fake pre-lit tree I ordered today & we hooked it up to see what it looks like. So, you are not alone my friend, we left the tree up & will be decorating it Thanksgiving weekend, when my other son who is away at college can join the family.....Joyeux Noel! Go for it! :)
