Mini #5 - Holiday Preparations - Project Idea

I have to clean out my big closet so that I can get to my attic so that I can get to my Christmas decorations!

November 26, 2007

Cool - when will you be putting it up? We typically put ours up the first Friday in December, but not sure if we're doing one this year or not. The family is gathering at DD & DSIL's place for Christmas (for the first time), so with just DH and me here, we might not get into the decorating this time. Sorry to ramble on so, Krista! Fun shot - TFS :) -- kimB

Sounds like it was a scary adventure! :) Can't wait to see it up and decorate!

ooo fake one. I have two small fake ones. but we're buying a real one this year. must be taller than me. lol.

Are you trying to muscle this down the stair by yourself? You better be careful. We don't want a note from your family saying you are laying in a hospital somewhere with all your bones broken. Hey, wait a minute. Upon closer inspection, I think you muscled that box all the way from MY house.

We finally put our tree in a very large tote, works great and protects the tree.

Is duct tape the universal way to close the box for storage? It looks just like MY box!! LOL

November 20, 2007

so glad you are ok... I'll probably wait to put mine up, keeping 4 kids a dog and a cat away just sounds like torture!

I think I might have too many decorations, I have some in the attic, some in the basement and some in the garage.

November 20, 2007

Its always a good start to get the tree! Not such a good start to end up in the ER!

Yikes! That's dangerous! I have a fake one, too - and LOVE it! We did a real tree for years, but it was dumb because we're all allergic! And it always died before Christmas so we were afraid to light it up - my fake one is just perfect!

No fake trees here! We get live one for now as we need trees in our yard! When we have all those holes filled then we will cut one. I am thinking of getting two trees this year.

Mine is in a box too. I grew up with real trees, but I like to put mine up on Thanksgiving so that is a long time for a real tree.

November 19, 2007

Yep. Mine is in the storage room shoved way, way in the back. I think this year I'm settling for a little table top tre (for the floor tho) for te cats. I just have to find safe ornaments that i won't mind picking up off the floor everyday.

November 19, 2007

Yep mine is up in the attic too!! But we won't be decorating until after the 3rd December!! It's a bit of a tradition now!! When Chloe was younger she would invite her whole class to her birthday party (25 - 30 kids) which I put on in our house, I thought no way am I having my tree getting wrecked along with all our decorations, so we always wait until Chloe has her party, even though she hasn't had a house birthday party for about 4 years!!!

I too have mine in a box. I grew up with fresh trees every year but my DH grew up with no trees, just a big Nativity display. So the artificial tree is our compromise.

November 19, 2007

I wish mine fit in ONE box. It is a huge 7' tree. Glad you didn't get hurt!

November 19, 2007

We always have a fresh tree, we get it from the arboretum or we cut one from the garden.

Having grown up in a house with a Christmas tree I'm familiar with this wrestling act! My grandmother kept the tree in the atic and it was my job to climb those rickety stairs and wrestle it through the little hole and down the stairs... until one year we all nearly got squashed by an unruly tree and I convinced her it should live in the basement hence forth. Not that hauling it UP the basement steps was easy - but it was less life threatening. At the end of the season it wasn't a big deal to tie the thing shut and slide it headlong down the stairs, land where it may :)
