Happy Saturday to all from this side of the planet.
My big brother will be leaving tomorrow evening at 7:45 PM and he is once again decorating our house for the Yuletide season. He did our garden, planted some flower plants, had the car fixed and washed yesterday, and last night, he started putting up the Christmas tree.
It is new: he bought it when both of us went to the city. So enthusiastic that he bought many decors for the tree. My sister is also having anxiety how she will fix all decors once Christmas season is done.
So early yet, but we are glad my big brother shows his artistic tendencies in making our home on Christmas-ambiance.

@ridingbet I will put up the tree and the decorations the 6th of December in the morning, so we are ready to celebrate Saint Nicholas.

this is the time our house was decorated before December 1st; usually my sister puts up the tree and other decors on December 1.

Thanks! All around town much Christmas decor is coming up. On Dec. 1 there will be the annual tree lighting by our Mayor Caldwell too so everything is being brought out of storage and put up at Honolulu Hale.

@JustBhem really? is your tree not very tall? our tree is not tall, about 4 feet only. our dogs might pull out some flowers and decors of the tree that is why we put chairs around the table.

it's pretty. so colorful. did he do the windows, too? i also love your sofa. i would be so appreciative of all the things he did while he was there, like the garden and the car.
just keep all the boxes/containers that the tree and decors came with and put them back there. or put them in a big plastic container so they don't get squashed and label them.

Ha ha, while your brother is busy decorating your house with Christmas lights, your sister is already on the problem to fix them after the yuletide season. You should have told her you will help her.

the only help i can give my sister in keeping the decors is removing the balls and others but my sister will be the one to keep them securely
