I enjoy Christmas. DH and DDs put up the tree on Thanksgiving, as I prepare the food. It is so cute to watch them. The rest of the decorations go up the day after, if we are home.
#1 thing I do to help make Christmas enjoyable: Get my shopping 95% completed before Thanksgiving. Less pressure, I can enjoy the atmosphere without worrying about who I still need to buy for and I can easily remember the true reason I am celebrating...the Birth of my Saviour Jesus Christ.
