[QUOTE="Lil, post: 741602, member: 17309"] Well we've never had them up until July...but they've been up a while into the spring! Really, I don't do much to the outside. The roof is too high for me to help Jabber - ladders scare me and I'm always terrified he'll fall off! So we usually put some lights around the doors wreaths and that's about it. I used to always put up a big tree. But, I'm just a tad anal-retentive about decorations on the tree. Like...when DS was 2, I video taped us decorating and when I watched it, it was a half hour of me saying, [I]"Don't put two red ones together. That one doesn't look right there. You need to put big ones on the bottom. Don't put that one there."[/I] I erased the tape. Jabber helped me decorate - ONCE. (Seriously, I've been known to sneak into the church sanctuary and rearrange the ornaments the kids put on the trees during the Hanging of the Greens service. I'm that bad.) Really the last several years that DS was home, he kind of ruined the holiday for me so I'm not really excited about it anymore. I guess if I had people to really buy for, that would be different.
