I’m getting out the trees, lights, yard characters, and all the shit in the attic that has to do with Christmas… My wife buys more shit every year.. Thought I was done after all my girls got married and left home but nooooo… We have to do it for the grandkids… This is one of my least favorite days of the year followed by putting it all up… GET OFF MY LAWN!! I just need to vent.. I’ll be okay… [Reply]

Its a great day putting up the tree and all the ornaments, decorating the mantle, music on, I usually cook something fun. We spent Christmas in Italy a number of years ago so Im usually doing something quite traditional ...

We just wrapped up yesterday. The Mrs. and my daughter handle the interior while the boys and I take care of the outside. Doesn’t take too long with everyone involved. [Reply]
