nikmar Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 nope - but the girls in the office have started with the decorations and wearing fake reindeer antlers already. I dont think they understand my cynicism. There s also a healthy amount of Christmas decorations still up from last year. Dont care too much for it all , neither does Mrs Nik. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dmaxdan Posted November 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2023 I do erect a small tree with lights mainly because our grandson who lives with us insists on it. But I don't put it up until a week or so before Christmas. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It delays , if only by a week , the early onset of Jingle Bells on a loop at the malls. I put up a single string of lights on the tree next to our balcony since the wifes youngest sister always comes home for new years holiday so they sort of give her a holiday welcome. However this year there the finches have built a nest there as I was slow in cleaning out there nesting boxes from last year so the lights might not get a showing this year. Might hang some stockings on the wife Christmas eve .....................see if I get anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgrahmm Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 We are RVing the US into January..... My wife bought a door sized Merry Christmas greetings & some lights....We light them every night.... Our daughters are house sitting.... I'm not sure if they will put up the tree & decorations.... It's our first Christmas that we are not together.... We were at the official Graceland lighting ceremony & that was nice.... We'll be at our US daughter's house for the holidays & they do have inside & outside decorations with a big tree and extended family.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
