Yes, we started decorating on Thanksgiving day, got the lights up outside and the tree and other decorations inside. Between that and cooking turkey and watching football, it was a pretty exhausting day. But we like to get the decorations up a little early to enjoy them, since we are always gone at Christmas, usually to my family's in Wisconsin, but this year my husband, daughter and I are going down to Louisiana to spend Christmas, my mother in law lives there, so we are going down to spend the holidays southern style.
