I saw this meme at Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa and I couldn’t resist! I’m putting up our Christmas tree and some other decorations right now, and this is certainly fitting. If you decide to join in, put your link in the comments below so I can see your responses.

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Gift bags whenever possible (and I save all that I can reuse) or wrapping paper bought during an after-Christmas sale.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Artficial. Real trees are nice, but I can’t stand the pine needle mess or the expense every year. My $15 or whatever tree won’t fool anyone, but it does its job and fits in a relatively small box.
3. When do you put up the tree? After Thanksgiving or the first week of December–whenever I have time.
4. When do you take the tree down? New Years Day or so.
