But I won't have time to really get into it until the 15th because of a deadline. And then it's 100% traditional. We've always had a tree, no matter what stage our kids were in, or what pets we had/have. And then I'm always happy to have the tree gone and my space back on January 1st!

We generally start decorating and shopping around the 15th...three weeks of green and red is enough for me! We get a huge Christmas tree and decorate it with antique and homemade ornaments...I especially love the ones with the kids pictures on it, of course. Never heard of an upside down tree, though...sounds tricky. I find that if I start Christmas prep too early, I’m sick of the holiday by the time it actually rolls around.
