It is tradition to set up the Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving, and this year was no exception. It gets more fun every year, with the kids wanting to touch every ornament that comes out of the box. Josh was calling them "Christmas toys" and Carly was handing them to me faster than I could put them up. I thought I'd have a hard time keeping Jack away from the tree, but he hasn't given it much notice yet. Of course, it's been up less than a week. Carly was anxious to put the star on, so breaking with tradition, we put the star on first. 
This year has been more fun already. Every year the kids understand Christmas more and more. I've been proud that Carly knows it's Jesus' birthday. She loves birthdays...any one's birthday, so I knew that presenting it to her that way would stick.
