Four trees??? You mean she bought four trees? Or you decorated four trees? Or she ran into four trees while shopping?
Ok, I missed all the fun around here. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
I confess that every year I give more and more of our decorations away.
We have given away a ton of decorations, mostly the oustside variety, as we continue to minimalize.
Which doesn't exactly jibe with all the trees, but:
My mother decided that she wanted, as her only outside decorations, two lighted trees on either side of the front door and a lighted wreath on the door. The trees each stand in an urn. She found just what she wanted at Big Lots, for less than half of the price at Lowes or Walmart.
Mrs. K became enamored of the idea, so we ended up buying, carrying home, and assembling those four trees. I was not unhappy, as I don't go in for a lot of outside decorating, and this seems about right. We have new windows and blinds since last Christmas, and can't use the customary wreaths and candles in the window, so this is working out.
Then, we helped Mom put up her small inside tree, then we did our inside tree, then there is Cindy's classroom tree, then one for my office, so I had the joy of helping set up and decorate eight trees. Friday was decoration day.
The tree is my favorite decoration by far, though I like Cindy's inside stuff, like singing moose and snowmen, not to mention at least three creche scenes and the musical circus train.

Lioness, when I was living at home, we didn't put up the tree (yeah, a fake one, I'm allergic to real) until Dec 23. Then, it was left up for the twelve days of Christmas, or until Mom felt like taking it down...never made it to Valentines Day, but it came close a couple times. But usually it was down by Jan 10.
Ronnie likes the tree up as early in Dec as possible. I don't know why, and ours is not up yet, but it probably will be by next weekend.
Kerr, Cindy's trees sound fantastic. If we put lit trees outside by the front door, they would be gone the next morning. Isn't that terrible? When my niece lived near here, she would say she was going out for a drive to see the 'ghetto lights'  ....I must say, some people do go all out here, and not necessarily in any form or fashion. I'll have to take some pictures this year of our neighborhood lights.

When we'd go to mom's for Christmas she'd have us all take down the tree before we left. I understand why she didn't want to do all the work herself but it just seemed so fast.

I usually take ours down the day after Christmas. I guess its a throw back to growing up poor. I can't stand the sight of a Christmas Tree with no presents under it.
