H & I do the tree together while the kids rest in their room. It's just easier. Usually I leave out a few ornaments for them to hang when we are done. Maaaaybe this year we'll let DD help the whole time.
My parents always put up the fake tree while we were sleeping and then we helped with the ornaments and stuff. It was perfect because even as an adult, putting up the actual tree is fucking terrible.
FINE! I will be the lone weirdo LOL
I love putting up the tree. We make a fire, put on a cheesy Christmas movie, have nog (usually spiked) and spend all afternoon doing the tree and village.
And I apparently mistakenly) excited to do this with our kids in the future too
I love putting up the tree, too. We always did it as a family when I was a kid. We each put up our own ornaments. H will do it, but begrudgingly. Sometimes I do it without him, and DS1 (almost 4) helps me. We make sure to put all of his ugly ornaments on the back of the tree if he doesn't help!
