		<description>Sorry, Zuska.  I got a bit lax in terms of subject matter and don&#039;t want certain posts out there for anyone who may happen to come over from the ABA Blawg feature to see them.</description>

		<description>I have a friend who put her tree and all her decorations up last weekend.  She has cancer and a heart condition, and it was a convenient time for her &quot;helpers&quot; to do the work for her.  I have other friends who leave a tree up year-round, changing the decorations with the seasons.  I think you should put it up if you want to, especially since you will be traveling and busy a lot during the usual decorating time.  It&#039;s not like anyone but your family will see it, and it is only a week ahead of when a lot of people (myself included) decorate for the holidays.  

It is a lot of work for a short season of enjoyment, so party hardy!

		<description>I agree with the above.  No Christmas until after Thanksgiving.  But I often put my tree up the day after.  Unfortunately, T-day falls early this year, so we will be waiting another week. We always get a live tree and don&#039;t want it to be crispy by Christmas.</description>

		<description>I resist Christmas until Thanksgiving. I turn my head away when I see early decorations, even the ones in stores, change the channel when I hear a Christmas song. It&#039;s not that I don&#039;t love Christmas; to the contrary, I find that exposing myself to it too soon takes some of the magic away. (For the same reason, I refuse to watch my favorite films more than once a year, no matter how often they come on cable.) At this moment, I&#039;m itching to put on my Christmas music. But I will wait until Thanksgiving and play it while I&#039;m cooking. That&#039;s my tradition. I realize this helps you in no way, shape or form. Sorry.  :grin:</description>
