I am dead set on NOT starting Christmas until after Thanksgiving festivities are done! I will not set out my collection of red Santas or other Christmas stuff until the day after.

Hubs is influnenced by a neighbor decorating for Christmas and wants to start now. He does the outside of the house and sets up the tree, I do the inside and tree. I told him he could do his part now if he insists (though I totally disagree) but I will not do mine until the designated time. I can be quite stubborn, he he.
