We do our thankful tree through November & read nativity books for Advent. I love celebrating the season. My little people make it even more wonderful & meaningful. mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036470370177346737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302096474119021505.post-47246065497533553952012-11-15T13:55:42.477-08:002012-11-15T13:55:42.477-08:00Every year I find myself more and more anxious to...Every year I find myself more and more anxious to set up a tree earlier. We get a real tree though, so we always do it the weekend after Thanksgiving (the first weekend tree farms are open). I can't wait!!!

Thanksgiving...We like to do holidays one at a time. Thanksgiving is my husband's favorite holiday, and Christmas is my favorite. We compromised, and I generally don't start decorating for Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving (which is what my family did growing up), and we get to leave the tree up until after the new year. It makes for pretty pictures when we are all fancied up for New Years Eve :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942184140824055969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302096474119021505.post-22372825163155963832012-11-12T11:28:17.616-08:002012-11-12T11:28:17.616-08:00I like the idea of it all being a season of thankf...I like the idea of it all being a season of thankfulness, no matter the specific holiday name. Commercialism will always be there, but the spirit of both holidays is what matters. Good point that the thankfulness of Thanksgiving should set the stage for celebrating Christ's birth.

It's a big deal every year. Love it. Sometimes we start Christmas decor the weekend before Thanksgiving so that after Thanksgiving it's mainly up. And I don't like rushing into Christmas in October. I prefer to wait and celebrate Thanksgiving.

We usually leave it up until New Years.<br /><br />As for Thanksgiving, I think there needs to be a national onslaught of teaching the real events surrounding the day. Here in my neck of the woods (WA State) Thanksgiving is forgotten in stores. Halloween is the holiday and Thanksgiving isn't even whispered. Sad. I think Thanksgiving needs more than its two seconds of recognition, so that's what we're doing here in our home.<br /><br />I enjoy all of your posts!!!Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07790757525000409229noreply@blogger.com
