This always holds true this time of the year. People don't keep their Thanksgiving decorations out longer than the day after Thanksgiving or they don't even have decorations to put out. Its different with Christmas decorations though, some people have those out from October until February. This year we decorated early for my house, Black Friday morning all of the boxes were out of the crawl space and the tree was being set up before I was even awake, and I got up at like 8:30. I had to wait forever to start decorating the tree because Laina wanted to help me but she woke up at 11 so I started with our gingerbread people. Every year up and down our staircase we place wooden gingerbread people with the name of each of our family members. We have added a bunch since we made the originals in whatever year I was in kindergarten, but we have only taken one away. Last year my uncle divorced my aunt but we still had her gingerbread so I asked my dad what to do with it. He told me to leave it in the bag, so I did, but this year it disappeared. No seriously neither of my parents know where it was and I certainly didn't do anything with it so I think we should just say its a Christmas miracle. Finally when Laina woke up she was to lazy to help me put up the ornaments so she 'helped' by taking the ornaments out of the box. This did nothing to help me what so ever and so I think its safe to say I decorated the tree by myself.
On another note I think we should do some fun Christmas things on our blog like post pictures of our favorite ornament or write about our favorite and least favorite Christmases. I realize I could just post those things but I think it would be more fun if all of us, or at least most of us posted them.

Our family always says that we are going to wait to put up Christmas decorations, but by the end of November, most of them are usually up.
