It's my dad who won this year! Early in the morning he is so keen in getting the tree up, so I was knocked out of my bed in the morning to dust and clean the living room where the Christmas tree would be setup.
Lol! Last year it was my mom who won, so the tree was up around October. When my dad was still young sometimes the Christmas Tree was up on August, and was taken down the next year before February 14.
I was so happy that God gave us this kinda of life, not perfect, but with warmth and love. To Christ be the glory!
What are your plans this week?

I am so glad you have such a wonderful family. 
I love Christmas time. Because of Thanksgiving, most people don’t put their tree up until November 27th or after, but I always liked to do it earlier. One month isn’t long enough to celebrate Christmas, in my opinion.

You also have one Amber, and I think everyone of us have, if we really know how to appreciate little things from God and from the people He gave us.

Of course you should! Start early, feel the Christmas early, that's the best season of every year and it will never change. nothing can beat Jesus' birthday.

Here in the UK Christmas trees aren't usually put up before December. They get taken down on 12th night .....6th January.

But you can order it online. Or you can set up a little tree inside your house, in America they really get a true tree inside their house and they decorate it. Hope you can enjoy decorating it with your family this year.

Hahahaha he can't help but keep on singing that He won this year, lol!
"Ako ang nag wagi" that's the Filipino line similar to "We are the champion my friend" hahahahaha... He keeps singing it until late night and my mom just laugh it off.
