I don't decorate as much as I did before when I hosted family Christmas, now my sons take turns hosting. I still provide the meals, traditional Mexican tamales and posole. I have always had real natural trees..but as expensive as they are now I am considering a fake tree. I just string up lights around the fireplace and other places in the house. I also string some outside and I have some light on a big Redwood tree in the corner of our property.

So I will decorate after Thanksgiving and take down mid January, except for the big tree in the corner. We have very heavy fog here in the winter and when we are coming up to our street the light from the tree helps guide us home and all the neighbors down the street have thanked me for it. So those lights stay on until mid February.

Our town Is the "National Christmas Tree City" Sanger, California. So the city have some trees lighted up all year on the main road through town.
