Re: I can't believe I gave in to the pressure....
I am sticking with the weekend after Thanksgiving. My husband groans every time I drag the boxes out! We do not put up a tree- not a conviction, just a concession to my husband and we do not have small children in our family anymore. But I do decorate the den with the sparkles of the season.

Re: I can't believe I gave in to the pressure....
The older I get, the less interested in decorating I feel. I could be VERY happy just using our small ceramic Christmas tree.

Re: I can't believe I gave in to the pressure....
I am unsure if I will decorate for Christmas this year, or if I do, how far I will go.
If I do it, I will keep a Christ centered theme. If I stay true to form though, I probably will forego the decorating all together.

We stopped 5 years ago after coming into more understanding in the Word.....and we really don't miss it at all......I thought I would, but as each year pass's we can hardly wait until the whole season is over.....for those that celebrate, enjoy!

Oh, thanks for reminding me, Jermyn. Now I know just where to put my nativity scene.

If I were to do it, it would be on the front lawn, complete with a gaggle of wise men, donkeys and hay strewn about.
I may try to find some authentic donkey dung to help make the display all the more accuarate.

Oh and my Mary and Joseph will have a tan similar to one of a Mexican-- in an attempt to create the right affect.

Oh, believe me, you don't want donkey dung in your front yard. Not even your pasture.
