I always decorate for Thanksgiving, in fact I started yesterday.
It consists of some garland for a base and I cover it in berries and "fake" fruit. After Thanksgiving, I throw on the gold netting ribbons, balls and beads. After Christmas, I add purple and green beads for Mardi Gras along with dublooms scattered into the mix.
All in all it takes a few minutes to decorate after the base is set.
Putting it away and replacing it with Easter decorations is the REAL chore.
The music starts when I decorate, but is limited to songs about family and holidays, the REAL Christmas music comes out whenever we have an opportunity to be home at the same time-which isn't as often as I'd like.
We got a FAKE TREE (UGH!) I HATE it, but at least I can put it up whenever I'm ready and don't have to wait on the "old man" to feel the "spirit" move him. That reminds me...gotta go get my Yankee Candle!
