I suppose you should all know

that we still don't have a tree. 

Am I the worst mom ever?  I finally put up the decorations outside after the girls went to bed tonight.  I'm hoping maybe I can find a tree tomorrow afternoon if I get out of the doctor early.  If not, it will have to wait until the weekend.  UGH

We aren't putting our tree up til Friday!

We still don't have a tree. I think we are getting one this weekend.

We always get one around my birthday (which is next monday). This year, we were really early and got one already, but I'm due any day now.

[elleblue]

We're the worst. We have a pre-lit fake tree all ready to go. We just need to haul it out from the garage. Giant fail.

[isabel]

We don't have a tree yet either. Honestly, I think DH and I are just not in the Christmas spirit this year. It's been a tough year. Things are looking up and we're excited for 2014, but this holiday season just feels kind of blah. I don't know if we'll even end up getting one since we're traveling for Christmas.

(we don't have kids.)

My house has Christmas shit spread all over it because I dragged it out of the attic 2 weeks ago but stopped there.

The tree is done, though. I got fed up today and stuck DD in the playroom to watch 2 episodes of Daniel the Tiger while I took care of it. Everything else is going back up into the attic tomorrow. I'm over it.

If you're a bad mom, I am too. And we're not even putting up the big tree this year because Freddie touches fucking everything.

[CheshireGrin]

We always got ours pretty late when I was a kid, like the week before Christmas. We always had a live tree and my parents were paranoid about getting it too early and having it dry out. I'd say you're good!

[usuallylurking]

We don't have ours either! H gets home on Sunday, we've been waiting for him

[curtains]

We are doing it this weekend too.

[iamgrace]

I hope to do ours tomorrow.

[mrsukyankee]

When I was growing up, we never got a tree before our school holidays, so I don't think you are a bad mom at all. If you told your kids that you were never getting them one ever again, then perhaps...

[bonquiqui]

I don't even move until Tuesday, and won't have my stuff between Wednesday-Saturday.  I won't put my tree up until at least Wednesday.  lol My tree will be up a whole week or less before Christmas lol

Ours is up, but undecorated.

Ours is up, and the lights are on, but only because it is a prelit tree.  We have precisely three ornaments up.

I need to dig through my ornaments and pull out everything that isn't glass.  I have been putting it off.

[wildfloweragain]

We are renovating the girls' rooms and it was "supposed" to be done this weekend, but it won't be. The carpet installers don't even come until Christmas week.
There is no place for a tree because everything from those 2 rooms is in the living room.

We have zero decorations up. H didn't even get the outside lights up and might not because all of his time is going to these rooms. He's doing them by himself.

He had some scheduled time off in November, that's why we picked now to do it. But then he got a promotion(yay) and they changed his schedule on him.

...sent from my Jedi mind

[kwx2]

We haven't put our up either. It's artificial. My H was a douche over the weekend so it didn't get done then. Working the rest of the week. We will have to do it during Football on Sunday, which totally pisses me off. Yeah, I guess I am a little bitter.

[aprilsails]

My family does live trees and we always put it up the first day of Christmas break. So usually only 3 or 4 days before Christmas. We would then take it down the last day of Christmas break.

So you're fine. It's not a race.

[penelope]

Ours isn't going up until Sunday.

And every year I tell DS2 that we will decorate the outside and put lights up, etc. Right now the wind chill is -24. Now I get to be the horrible mom and explain to him that this is just not happening until the temps go up. Which isn't going to happen, so we will be lightless outside...again.

[nahoku]

It seems like a lot of people are late to the tree and decor and shopping and stuff this year b/c Thanksgiving was so late.

My kids are dying for us to put up some lights outside the house, so props to you for getting those up!

[Deleted]

Look, my mom never saw their tree until Christmas Day! That was part of Santa's gifts.

I know it's different now but seriously, you still have 2 whole weeks.

[awick14]

No tree here either.

We will be getting a real one on Sunday, so it will go up Sunday night and be decorated on Monday.
