It's almost December, and our tree has been up since the first week of November. I know because I helped to put it up! I envisioned it to be overflowing with presents before Christmas time, but I guess my friends and relatives are all crammers. :( SO what about you, do you have a lot of gifts under your tree already? :)

Our tree isn't out yet, but as soon as it is / if it is... since we might just be celebrating Christmas as granny's (his not mine.. I have a granny too) then we will just get the presents out and exchange.. and that's that... but if we do have a tree, as soon as it is up there will presents from my fiance and I to his parents...

Oh, we dont have a tree put up yet. Im not even sure if we're going to because we usually spend our Christmas in my GrandMa's house. Its kinda up to Mom to make the decision of still putting up a tree since she's the most "house design-oriented" (I mean one who's fond of rearranging furniture, put up specific curtains and throw pillows, gardening, just general house beautification, my Dad and I just help set up her whims when she asks)
Well, have a happy holiday!^_^

We don't even have our tree up yet, let alone any other decorations so we don't have anything under the tree. Gifts in my house either get placed underneath the tree a week or so before Christmas when I finish wrapping because I'm always the first, or on Christmas eve when my mom is wrapping gifts. So it will definitely be awhile yet before anything is placed there.

Honestly, I don't even have a tree yet. lol Because I am, too busy with so many things. But I'll make sure before Christmas pass by, I am one of you guys who already have everything set up.

Our Christmas tress was up too. ^__^ Like after All Soul's Day, i'm so excited to fix our Christmas tree and put the decorations (my favorite part..hehe).. But yeah, I haven't got the time yet to buy presents for my loved ones and i guess it will happen a week of two before Christmas. And to be positive, this may give us enough time to think well of the presents that we would like to give to our loved ones.

I know what you mean this is a pretty good discussion because December is almost here,and since Thanksgiving is next week after it has passed everyone will be thinking and worrying about Christmas since it will be a month away,and I am sure there are a lot of people who already have their tree up,and they have probably had it up for many months or at least many weeks now,and then I am sure there are people who do not have their tree up,because they do not put it up until either right after Thanksgiving or the beginning of December,and there are probably people who do not put their tree up until right before Christmas,and I can understand the benefits of putting it up early,and the benefits of waiting until later to put it up,and there are probably people who are not putting it up,and maybe even not celebrating Christmas this year because the economy is so bad,and not many people have money to buy gifts and stuff,we do not have our tree up yet,and my family always waits until the weekend after Thanksgiving before we put our tree up,because that is the same time we get out all of the Christmas decorations,and I am not sure if we are going to put it up this year,because my mom had been talking about skipping Christmas because she is having teeth pulled so she is not going to feel well,and then she decided to do it,but my grandpa on my moms side fell and broke his hip,so we are going to have to do Christmas at my great grandmothers house since that is where he is staying until he can walk again which will not be until after the first of the year,and my mom said that for my dads side we will either do it at my aunts house or not do it at all,so she is considering not putting the tree or other decorations up since no one will be here but if she puts it up,then the gifts me and my fiance got for my mother and father will be under it,and probably the stuff they get for us,if the tree does not get put up then we will probably just give my parents their gifts and they will probably just give us ours at Christmas or maybe earlier but it just depends.
