I am a big fan of all things Christmas. My home would be decorated in October if Grancey wasn't so scandalized by such behavior. When we walk through department stores and the Christmas stuff goes up in September, I have to walk through smiling and biting my lip as morons around me feel it necessary to do the obligatory "Christmas already?" whine. Bah!

We used to go with real trees until about 10 years ago. Our main two trees (living room and TV room) are not pre-lit and they're both fairly old, but in great shape. However, I do put pre-lit trees up in the yard and on the porch simply because it's convenient and no one can see them that closely. Every year, we hit all of the Christmas Clearance sales and load up on artificial trees and lights for the next year. I think the last time I counted, we have 14 artificial trees of varying size that we put up in various rooms and in the yard.

My outdoor lights will begin going up right after Halloween (when I take down the outdoor Halloween lights) and it'll take me about three weekends to get it all finished. The indoor stuff will go up after Auburn-Alabama game (Nov. 18 this year).
