Putting Christmas Tree in your Home?

We haven't decorated our home yet with Christmas decors. We're yet to look for a new Christmas tree. Usually we don't prepare our house for Christmas not until Halloween is over. And Halloween is fast approaching. After that, it's decor time!!!

Its to early to decorate here in the States. My family usually do it the day after Thanksgiving or we do it about a week before Thanksgiving but we don't turn the lights on till Friday the day after Thanksgiving.

I always wanted to put a Christmas tree in my hall to welcome the merry season. We has one in a box many years back. To date, I have failed. One was the difficulty of retrieving the set from the storeroom. Moreover, the children suffer from asthma and so we had Christmas without the tree.

No, we have not started putting up decorations at home yet. But, do you know that we have started to do it in the office? Actually, I made an artificial tree last year and donated it to the office. We connected blinking series lights into the tree and it really served as our Christmas tree. We didn't take off the lights and just the other week, we plugged the lights and voila, we have the Christmas tree ... all lighted up.

Early September does seem like a long time. Most of my friends that decorate usually start the day after Thansgiving which would be the fourth Friday in November. I have a small condo so a tree would take up too much room plus I have two cats that would probably knock it over.

The appropriate time for decorating for Christmas is right after the feast of Christ the King. That falls on the last Sunday of November, I think. The long Christmas season that the Filipinos have evolved into tradition is gradually making Christmas an occasion not as exciting anymore. The materials aspects which the malls and the media promote had lessen the thrill of looking forward to a blessed Christmas.

Hi Feodda,

WE used to put up the Christmas tree at home beofer i celebrate my birthday. So 1st week of September, our Christmas tree is already up and lighted. We believe that putting the tree early will provide more luck and extra blessings and keep it after the three kings celebration.

My kids loved decorating our Christmas tree.

No, we haven't. It is still early. We usually start to decorate Christmas tree in late November or early December. This is the family affair. We set up the Christmas tree and decorate together. It is real fun doing things together that we like, my
wife, my son and I. It is such JOY.

Our family has decided to wait and have Christmas when our son comes home from his deployment hes in the military. Our family just cant bare the thought of hiving Christmas without him while hes serving. Hope you have a Happy Holiday:)

I decorate full Christmas decoration after the all souls day. Then have to all year round decoration which is like the Christmas light and the Christmas wreath stayon the door all year round. Then, the Christmas tree is the same and just buy added decorations or improvise to make it appear new again. Christmas spirit is a blast when the ber seasons start as every family is excited to experience the big events. Christmas tree is always visible and never throw it away although it is been a recycle for years then have to reuse it again then add design to make it new again.
