The ornaments we are using came from QVC's Valerie Parr Hill. They are adorable light-weight plastic made to look like candy, cookies, fruit and ginger bread men/women. I love how they look but also love that they are plastic. That way if Gabe pulls them off or the cats knock one off, they won't break.
I would love to have a real tree but DH firmly says no. I have been playing Christmas music since the day before Thanksgiving. We have one radio station that only plays Christmas music/songs all through the holidays and even streams the music on the computer.
