I usually put my tree up the first or second week of Dec. As most of you its becoming a chore. I do love Christmas, my husband does help put it up, he puts the lights on also and I decorate it. My tree is 7 1/2 ft. I do the decorations throughout the house. This year I am comtemplating on whether I should put up my village scene. It is beautiful I also have Elvis Presley's graceland, I guess I am getting old. lol My kids do not help me. Once I get started I get into the mood.
Sheryl when you find a redneck send him down to the east coast, heck I will give him two six packs lol .
