My Mom and I have always loved decorating for Christmas! I usually put up my stuff around the middle of Dec. though. I'm one who likes to enjoy all the holidays...I like Halloween and Thanksgiving and don't like for them to be overrun with Christmas...so we wait a while.
Then come mid Dec...I will fill almost every surface with something Christmas. I inherited all of Mom's stuff, so I have enough to decorate at least 2 houses! DH loves all the lights and decos...so we'll have a colorful Christmas!
Then...Mom used to tell me that it was bad luck to have the decorations up at midnight on Jan. 1....smart woman that she was, I think that actually that was her way of getting me to help take them all down and put them away...but I'm afraid to take a chance :roll: ...Mine are always put away by the end of New Year's Day :wink:
