Without a tree I could trick my young mind that Christmas wasn't just 3 weeks away. :0) But we put ours up Thanksgiving night, mostly because my brother was visiting and he usually does all of the lights (colorful, thank you) :0). I'm happy it's up early this year!<br /><br />Glad you survived Black Friday and had a great Thanksgiving!Kristen Torres-Torohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15903038121623389560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395293021442031324.post-7076925428216210082009-11-30T10:59:32.865-05:002009-11-30T10:59:32.865-05:00Ooh, I WILL take pictures!
