We stay home and put up the Christmas tree. My DH used to go out, he likes being in crowds (he went to Disneyland on the 4th of July. I know I should have him tested.) but now he prefers to get the tree up early. We started doing the tree on the day after because it was one day the entire family could get together and put the tree up. Now it is just the 2 of us and we are still doing it - for me to get it over with, for him to get the house decorated. He would leave Christmas up all year long if I let him. :-D
