That's been our schedule but this year, I'm starting a new tradition!For me, it's become tradition to decorate on the Friday after Thanksgiving. First thing in the morning, after breakfast, I pull the boxes and tree, and begin the process of stowing fall items and getting in the Christmas spirit. Typically, there's Christmas music playing in the background and the scent warmers are filling the rooms with cinnamon and other holiday smells..
That sounds so nice, Lori.For me, it's become tradition to decorate on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

There's a good chance my mother will be here over Thanksgiving and for the long weekend, so I'm kind of looking forward to making it extra special this year.That sounds so nice, Lori.
You may notice us posting in threads with HHP or HGP in the name. Each is a different type of cleaning plan to get ready for the holidays. Then, some of us do a much shorter version of a cleaning plan called Christmas Countdown Plan. It started Sunday. You can go to www.organizehome.com to see all of the plans.Does anyone do a thorough cleaning before putting up any decorations?
So. This has been our tradition as well. But ... sniff ... my chief interior decorator moved to VT!! (DD28 ) I'm not sure what or how much I will do on my own. DH and DS17 ... aren't much help.For me, it's become tradition to decorate on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
