We've never put it up early as when the children were young I liked to build up the anticipation gradually, so we'd spend the first couple of weeks in December making decorations and cards and things, and put up the tree a week or ten days before the day. I think if it went up very early I'd be fed up with it by Christmas. <BR/><BR/>I never pushed religion onto my family. And I wouldn't describe myself as a religious person, which is probably a bit surprising to readers of this blog, though I am a Christian, obviously.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-4403611804482059892008-12-25T01:03:00.000+00:002008-12-25T01:03:00.000+00:00You were extremely late wiuth your tree.

But I guess it's a religion thing?<BR/><BR/>In our happily un-religious flat we stuck the tree up and decorated it gaudily on the second.<BR/><BR/>It's nice to note different strokes for different folks. Sam was delighted to deck our tree.<BR/><BR/>(and I was rather sad...and a little angry....that Sam's mum was not putting up a tree at all)<BR/><BR/>Our tree is now nicely surrounded with presents. And when Sam heard, tonight, that he didn't have to go to church on Christmas Eve, he spontaneously danced around, singing "Don't go to service, don't go to service....."<BR/><BR/>I don't push anti-religion on Sam. His mum pushes religion on him. He'll make his mind up for himself eventually.<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas!Eddie 2-Soxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14663438334446202114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-7372273681707686652008-12-24T23:10:00.000+00:002008-12-24T23:10:00.000+00:00Have yourself a merry little Christmas.Have yourself a merry little Christmas.luckyzmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176703683321469118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-16129392142380415892008-12-24T21:08:00.000+00:002008-12-24T21:08:00.000+00:00No problem at all, BW.

Actually, tonight will be so busy that it'll be rather good not to have to cook tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>I think it was a roe deer, rather than a reindeer. We don't see too many of those around here. Plenty of muntjacs though.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-36068572068827634572008-12-24T20:34:00.000+00:002008-12-24T20:34:00.000+00:00Ah.
