Son & Holiday Spirit  

my oldest daughter has been in the spirit, well so have i lol, since the first of november. she called me on the 16th and was putting her tree up, i had to admit i was doing the same the next day. i talked to my youngest yesterday and she was decorating. my oldest decorates inside and out, just like me, my youngest is decorating inside, so far, but it's her first christmas in her own place.

i guess i got it from my dad, he won the yard decorating contest several years for his neighborhood. and they still decorate inside and out, my sister was there helping my mom yesterday. my sister won't be decorating her own place this year, they are still living in a hotel due to hurricane ike.

That is great that your son is decorating also and wanted his stocking. My oldest daughter always puts up a tree. My son will put up lights outside for us sometimes when I ask him to. My youngest daugther puts up her tree, some decorations inside and outside her house.

Yes! My daughter has her own home now and I cleared out a huge bag of my old Christmas decorations and give them to her. I even had an old plastic Christmas tree up in the attic that I forgot was there. I had some tree baubles that her Grandmother had got her name ingraved onto for her first Christmas so I thought it was her time to have it.

She is very pleased and says it will save her a lot of money as times are tight at the moment.

Hellllooooo Grandpa Bob! Well my children are not grown, they are 7 years and the other is 11 months...LOL But my 7 year old helped me put some lights up outside and she is doing the countdown to Christmas now! I'm getting excited, I love Christmas, even though I'm not a kid anymore, I still get to play with their toys! YAY! You're my favorite Idjit!

I have yet to set up the tree yet but hopefully i will soon. I just cant get in the mood just yet. I got all the presents wrapped but no tree to put them under i better get to work on that lol.

Hi GRANDPA BOB,


I don't have any children so I do all my litght and decorations and cooking as well, but my husband don't any thing but ride his bike and eat.

My oldest daughter is as bad as me.....decorations everywhere......my middle daughter decorates too but not as much....however her husband would hang lights from everything if he could! My son and his wife put up a tree...and a few decorations....more now since they have a little one....but not nearly as much as his oldest sister and I! LOL

That's awesome that your son is getting into the spirit of the holidays. My kids have been on my butt to get decorations up. We have some Christmas lights up finally. But only because I came in one night from taking my son to his dad's and told hubby that if the grinchy neighbor could put his lights up, then we need to as well. That got hubby off the couch finally. LOL!

How lovely your son is wanting his stocking, GB! I had stockings for my children when they were little (actually, up until they left home) - and this year I'm going to fill them again, even though my daughters will be visiting in January instead of being here on Christmas day. My son is living at home, so I'm going to surprise him and resurrect his stocking this year ... he was a bit disappointed last year when it wasn't at the end of his bed!

LOL cool your having a christmas effect on everyone.Christmas must be one heck of a day in yout house Grandpa Bob..My son said him & his GF have a tree & about another 50 lights all around the living room.They live with her parents so am guessing it was them that decided all this not the kids,but ye never know..
Oh that reminds me i need christmas candles..you remembered me just by being here.
Still making yours ?
