Today is December 1st! Time to start trimming the tree and watching Christmas movies!

Hallmark has been showing holiday movies since June!

It's kind of an exciting Christmas for me - it's my first Christmas with hubby, so we're in the process of figuring out traditions. We went with a very Charlie Brown Christmas tree that's about 2 feet tall that we're going to plant in the spring. We put up some lights and already bought each other gifts, but we're going to put together surprise stockings for Christmas morning.

Outside of that, lots of movies and planned gingerbread houses. We might also drive around and see Christmas lights later in the month.

stockings are still my favorite!! I hand made ours when we married, then did for our 2 kids, now have made one for new grandson's first Christmas. He won't rememberit, but he'll have his stocking. Daughter took her stocking with her when she married, and advised me in making her hubby's stocking. Trradition" always a tangerine in the toe, and new toothbrush and pair of silly socks included in stocking

I can’t answer the poll. Usually the tree would always go up the weekend after Thanksgiving, but this year is weird. If I had a fake tree it would’ve gone up 3wks ago. Alas, there is still no tree in the house.

I watch Hallmark Christmas movies most of the year, but I don’t really enjoy them. They are good background noise & light late at night when you’re doing other things.

My all time fav Christmas movie is The Ref. It’s rated R for excessive language, so probably not a good one for the littles.

We put ours up yesterday - a little earlier than normal, but I feel it’s completely acceptable this year. Here’s our pup by the tree.

We also strung solar lights on the outside of the chicken coop this year!

That's a beautiful coop!
