I guess I'm old-fashioned :joke:

When our children were little, we waited until 12/22 or 12/23. Later, it was so much easier to do it slightly earlier. Now, as a widower, I stick with "no earlier nor later than the 18th, if at all possible." Comes down on Twelfth Night (01/06, latest).

Used to have a real, recently harvested, nine or ten-foot tree, complete with real candles. Now, a reasonably nice fake, with lights already affixed. I do still add decorations, but the whole process takes only two-three hours, whereas it used to be eight-ten hours!

Whatever and however: Merry Christmas to all! :bigthumbsup:
