It's nearly Christmas?
Aaaaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Ours goes up when there is an oportunity to have both my parents and either myself or my sister to help with it. It's one of those massive fibre optic ones so it's a team effort to put the damn thing together. I just hope my mum decides it goes up on a weekend when I have to work.

LOL yep go the community service announcement.. :D :D

Yay for that.. I had mine put up as GTD would know last Saturday... she was trying to talk to me on MSN whilst I was doing it.. :D :D

Christa.. you should enjoy putting up the tree, I missed doing it the past 2 years due to prior engagements and it was good that we did it as a family this year.. it is quality time spent having fun and bonding.. which is always a good thing for a family to do..

Plus I looovveee Christmas.. I am headed out to the City some time in December to see the Christmas decorations.. Clover has gone all out this year after last years grinch attempt.. :)

Our Christmas Tree will go up, when my lazy good for nothing Daughter puts the damn thing up (only kidding). She'll put it up this weekend (she's loves doing it - true), but I get to stick the Angel on top, thats Dad's job. Oh and I (yes me) get to pull down the damn tree down straight after New Year. MERRY XMAS TO ALL.

Don't fear Dragons, we only put up a small tree, couldn't be bothered with all those lights round the house and things. Too hard.

Still not yet, mum said it will get done when the house is clean, my reply we're not putting it up this year?

Although with my youngest sister pestering her Bart and Lisa Simpson style: "When's it going up?" "When's it going up?" "When's it going up?" "When's it going up?" ....
I think it may just get done when I am at work tomorrow. Hooray!

Thankfully I avoided helping put mine together this year. I got home from work yesterday with the greeting: 'your sister put some of the decorations up, here's the box you can some more' .... ah no thanks. Looks good enough to me anyway.

Yahoo MERRY XMAS (Can I say that !!).

As a person who is quite religious.. I wouldn't call it that.. but I don't say that others can't call it that.. it is each to their own in my opinion..

I now would only say Merry Christmas, but if you want to say Yahoo MERRY XMAS then that is fine by me.. it is entirely up to you and whether or not we agree on celebrating Christmas or calling it by another name is not an issue.. :)

I reckon we should all respect each other regardless of where we come from and what we believe in..therefore as Queenslander, said, don't like it then get out of the thread.. otherwise Yay it is Christmas and that I am happy about too.. :D :D

Good call Dogs. If only more people were accepting of other people's beliefs and rituals then the world would be a happier place.

Time to bump this thread again and start talking about what you put on the Christmas Tree... this year our tree has the nice addition of some big blue balls and an perhaps even an angel will be on the tree this year... :)

Oh and I forgot, it also has a big star on it too now, which looks really cool..:D

What about everyone else, what does your tree look like ?

Queenslander

Our daughter has been very sick in hospital!
BUT she came home today :purdy:
We waited until she came home, to put our tree up!
So it goes up today! ;)
Lights, Angel that changes colours on top..All the Trimmings...
What a great Day! :purdy: :purdy:

Hasn't been a xmas tree up at my place in probably 3 or 4 years. Last year we put presents around an indoor plant, thats pretty close I guess.

However I did discover today the good thing about working in a place that was started by a nun; xmas decorations. Trees, tinsle, even a nativity scene by front reception. It used to be everyday stuff, but now with political correctness and the growing need to cater to everyone else that decided to call this country home, its a rare thing to see Christmas celebrated with stuff like that.

EDIT: Because of this festive awakening I've had, I might try find the xmas tree this arvo and put her up.

Our tree went up on Sunday. (30th Nov)
Normally we put it up on the 1st Dec
but it was Sunday and people were working or going to school on the 1st
so we thought 'why not!'
