I keep Santas on a 10 ft high shelf all year so I don't have this dilemma in a pinch. lol<br /><br />Glad you got the good customer service surprise to improve your season!Charlene ♥ NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356543817696065946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-57284134392643639952009-12-03T08:42:33.911-05:002009-12-03T08:42:33.911-05:00My vote, wreath, table top decorations, and call i...My vote, wreath, table top decorations, and call it Festivus.<br /><br />With Stella it might be a good year to pass on a tree, especially one with homemade ornaments. My dogs when they were both younger loved nothing better than a snack of a handmade ornament fresh off the tree.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764998966877086819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-27033422461770596092009-12-02T19:07:31.184-05:002009-12-02T19:07:31.184-05:00Are you humming yet?

Good timing, eh?<br /><br />I put up a very small tree. We had Christmas dinner at a restaurant. By 5 p.m. all signs of Christmas we removed from the house and we'd even found time for one last walk on the beach. <br /><br />I say do the decorating - just scale it back to a manageable level.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16590452473318118140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-28558229167326812802009-12-02T09:40:42.580-05:002009-12-02T09:40:42.580-05:00It's a tree dilemma, for sure.

This year we are staying home but so far all we have (except for the Griswald lights outside, of course) is a big poinsettia. It's not that I'm too lazy to put up a tree but I definitely do not look forward to taking it down. <br /><br />Have a fun, fun, fun time in England.<br /><Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-54687761969478943572009-12-02T09:33:52.807-05:002009-12-02T09:33:52.807-05:00I say the less the better.

The kids were little and had over a month off of school so we left Dec 2 and returned sometime the second week of January. So I figured I was good. 15 years later it is still known as the year we didn't have a tree. Just saying. But if I was you, I'd simplify!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013741487850845405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-61922196575449503892009-12-02T09:01:21.107-05:002009-12-02T09:01:21.107-05:00I say stick out the wreath and see how you feel......I say stick out the wreath and see how you feel... if it still doesn't feel right, add a few table decorations.Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709631.post-34753468029171548122009-12-01T22:11:15.156-05:002009-12-01T22:11:15.156-05:00Since we will be back east for Christmas and are n...Since we will be back east for Christmas and are not having our traditional Holiday party, no decorating here. We will play the Nutcracker while we address Christmas cards and call it a day. We don't even buy a lot of presents here, but wait until we are back east.
