My tree won't be big enough to need nets. I do have to lug it home, after all. Besides, trees are expensive!
We lugged ours home and the net still worked. Our first tree was on sale at a local drugstore because we waited so long. It's probably one of the smaller nets that we originally bought to decorate our balcony railing.
Hmmmm... If you slipped me your key, Harry Hanukkah just might visit you while you are gone. lol.
OMG! I might just do that!!!! I can blame it on Herschel the Hanukkah Goblin and Hanukkah Harry the Hanukkah Fairy (don't judge what Jewish kids come up with in lieu of Santa!)
Lol partiallysunny. Don't love me too much. There are many reasons it is better to put a tree in someone else's house rather than your own and most all of them are quite grinchy.
I did buy some decorations. Around here, the only Christmas decorations that will be left after Thanksgiving is the ugly/broken clearance shit.
I wanted to get a few more Thanksgiving decorations this past weekend and there was absolutely nothing left in any of the stores I checked (Target, Walmart, Michaels, Lowes, Home Depot). There was some Halloween stuff left in clearance, a couple uber-country-kitchy Thanksgiving clearance things at Michaels, and that's it. Full-blown Christmas everywhere.
So, anyhoo... instead of Thanksgiving stuff, I bought a crap ton of Christmas decorations.
My project for the coming weeks is bread. In honor of Thanksgivukkah, I'm going to make challah for each house we go to. I'm already familiar with the recipe, so now I just have to work on the braiding.

Chirp Thanksgiving decorations are hard to come by. You have to pick up what you can when the Halloween decorations come out.
I've got leaf garland, some ceramic pumpkins, garland that says "HAPPY (picture of a turkey) DAY", a sign that says "give thanks" on my door, and a picture I made that says "give thanks, eat turkey".
I have a lot of pumpkins I put out for thanksgiving. I made a really cute wreath last year out of candy corn but it wasn't very sustainable for this year.

Yeah... the only place I saw them was at Michael's. They had 3 whole aisles of actual turkey day decorations. And now it's all gone, except for one tiny little corner up by all of Duff's cake stuff.
I have a good amount of decorations, but my windows look a little bare. I have a big picture window in the front and I put those gel clingy things (like the static ones, but cooler) all over the window. I didn't grab enough of them. I'm going to grab some leaf garland for around the inside of the window and re-arrange the stickers... that might make it look less bare.
Other than the stickers and the yet-to-be-purchased garland, I have a turkey nutcracker in my kitchen, a big ceramic pumpkin on my coffee table, a wreath on the front door, and out front I have a bale of hay, a bunch of uncarved pumpkins, a huge mum and some smaller mums, a small flag (we change it out for the seasons) with owls and pumpkins, and a scarecrow.
I'm impatiently waiting to crack into those pumpkins. I want roasted pumpkin seeds, dammit.
