When are you going to start decorating for the holidays?

One of the best things (AND hardest) things we ever did was, when our kids were 0-4ish, not put up our tree until Christmas Eve AFTER the kids went to bed. So, on Christmas Eve everything was as normal as everyday. Then on Christmas morning when the kids awoke, EVERYTHING was there...the tree, the decorations and the gifts. The look on our kids faces was worth the late night effort though.

When our kids hit the 4-5ish age, we told them that they were old enough that Santa needed their help (because they were old enough), and he needed THEM to put up their tree so he could see all the kids in the world.

I'd highly suggest that to anyone.

I posted that because I believe your child is about the right age to start doing that Cyndalie.

We're going to wait on putting up any kind of tree until she's old enough not to put everything in sight in her mouth. We are going to spend Xmas morning at my in-laws and they put up 2 trees so we'll at least have the right atmosphere xmas morning.

What you do is a really good idea. We may try that next year.
