Some do it the day after Thanksgiving. Others do it before Halloween. For us, it's December 1. Christmas decorations. In our house, we decorate, but it doesn't overtake our home. I always want the first thought of Christmas to be towards Christ, so our decorations are simple and meaningful.
Our stockings were hung with care...
The Christmas tree was thoroughly investigated...
And the star was carefully placed...
I adore this time of year. It allows us to be more charitable than we usually are, more service-oriented, bake more often, and who doesn't love the anticipation of Santa Claus?!?
Let the gift-making, shopping, letters to Santa, baking, yummy candle-burning, and present-hiding begin!!

I appreciate the simplicity of your Christmas decorating. I always overdo everything. Who needs that kind of stress?
Bah humbug! Not really, ;) but you have seen (or at least heard) of the Xmas maddness that I come from so in my book ... less is more! Nice job, Mom, and it looks like the kids had fun which is really what counts.
