@indigo_fades regarding your question “Anyone else's wife have them doing Christmas tree activities a little early this year?”

Yes, the girls were busy last night.

We also made our Christmas pudding. The tree will be this upcoming weekend, schedules permitting.

if it were up to me Christmas decoration would be put up on December 23 at the earliest. I refuse to eat any Christmas related sweets until the first advent. Also, Last Christmas is the worst song in the world and if played I will leave the room immediately

He should change his forum name to Ebenezer...

Agreed except sweets... like last year we won't be at home therefore no tree, no decorations...

@scooter let me add that anyone who wants to decorate their house mid-August is more than happy to do so. Live and let live.

And don’t tell anyone, but we have the tree up sooner as well because we spend Christmas at the in-laws and parents and my wife wants to enjoy the festive spirit at home too

@Chap your Xmas tree looks a little wonky.

[Matt]

We started doing a tree on Black Friday but some of us are still recovering from the first round of fall cold/covid/flu so we went yesterday.

That's Austria we decorate old apple trees with tons of mistletoe

[Matt]

That sounds nice. I should get some mistletoe for the house so I can trick momma into making out with me.
