Christmas.... When is it okay to start decorating?

Venetta Coulbourne: Do what I do - start whenever you want to. Who is there to tell you, you shouldn't start until a certain date.This is a running joke in our family (six adult children - grandchildren)."Oops, it's 4th November. Time for Grandma to start getting out the Santa's and the tree,"By the 15th November the whole house is decorated.This has got nothing to do with "commercialism" it is to do with "Grandma ism". I LOVE Christmas. Getting everything out and rearranging the furniture, gives me a high. When that beautiful tree is lit, and the house looks like a Christmas Shop, I am happy until January 15th, when I tearfully takes things down.Enjoy yourself! Start today if you choose to. Why not? ...Show more

Joie Kemmis: cut it up for firewood it makes grat noise and heatif you dont have a fireplace there is really nothing else you can do with them

Len Dalba: well my grandparents they had a fireplace and they used to throw the leaves in the fire place and it smelled heavenly in there home and then you could take like some of it put it in places that need freshening or you could go to google and put in things to do with your old christmas tree but that wood would really be good in the fire place
