We are going to start this weekend!
I can't wait to put the walkway lights up and lights around the door, it looks so pretty I leave them up until Feb
Our street is so dark otherwise. We're going to decorate the mantle and other 'out of reach' places too with colored lights.
We haven't put up a christmas tree in over 5 years - it's too much hassle with the cats climbing in it and knocking it over, and now with the baby I think it's dangerous. We're going to get a mini live one to put on the mantle and decorate, and then try to keep it year to year so it can grow with the baby.
