:- (

We bought the two Christmas trees on December 3 (first Saturday in December ... our annual ritual).  And today we took them down.  (Another ritual: the tree(s) stays up until the college football national championship.)  We say it every year.  The five weeks from Thanksgiving thru Christmas are, without a doubt, the best time of the year.  (Yes, even better than our two week escape into The Basement every August.) 

 

Only 10 months away.
