We put it up on the weekend after Thanksgiving, which for a lot of folks is traditional. For us, we generally would cut a tree and putting it up that early is asking for a lot of needles to be down by Christmas. For the last three Christmases we&#8217;ve used this artificial tree, so that&#8217;s really not an issue. The plan is to keep it up a little while longer, but of course, it won&#8217;t have the wrapped presents under it after tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>We may have gotten the tree up early but we didn&#8217;t really do as well buying gifts this year as we generally do. There are a lot of packages under the tree but a lot of them are food gifts. There&#8217;s nothing wrong with that, of course, but we generally try to do better. Still, we&#8217;re together and looking forward to our two Christmas meals (breakfast and dinner with enough to eat that we won&#8217;t be hungry between them). We also plan on having video calls with our two families tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think I mentioned a while back that we put up our Christmas tree earlier this year than normal.
