I'm confused - is that a guideline what TO do or what NOT TO do?

We're going to put up the Christmas tree this weekend.

I do not put my tree up until much closer to Christmas, cause the last few years I have been buying a real Balsam tree cause I am sick of the plastic ones after many many years of having them. I have had all kinds of trees, but my favorite tree is still in the basement, too old to bring up except for rare occasions. It is a silver Tinsel tree from Woolworth many many years ago that my hubby's beloved deceased mother had bought. . The fresh Balsam trees are just so nice and smelly, and if you get them closer to Christmas they are much much cheaper!

Yes, I don't know how you guys down south do it. Too much turkey too close together.
I thought I would put the tree up early this year instead of my usual putting it up the weekend before and leaving it up till the following March....

We use a plastic one inside. There's enough real ones outside our window.

Same here plastic one inside and many real ones outside our windows. The cats would climb the real ones............oh yes I know
I wanna put mine up now...............I guess I can cuz all the stores have theirs up at Halloween.

We usually have turkey for Thanksgiving, and a prime rib roast for Christmas.

a prime rib roast for Christmas

Slow cooked prime rib..............sooooo good. I cook mine at 200 f / 93.3 c for x hours, usually 3-4 depending on the size. Comes out just perfect.

That's a new one for me.
My mom doesn't like turkey so sometimes we have ham.

We have some softie Christmas tree ornaments, like santa, rudolf, gingerbread men, ect. When our dogs were puppies, they would steal those ornaments and chew the heads off.
It could be quite horrifying, really, when you found them.

Headless ornaments.........what a sight to behold! I put the softie ones on the bottom also cuz the cats will knock the breakable ones off if I don't. Also now that we have an almost 2yr old grandchild on Christmas we need to keep the fragile ones high up. Fun to have a little one around again on the Holidays.

Our puppy is our little one. We have a small artificial tree down here will use that for Christmas. If we can find it in the garage that we dumped a house into when we rented the last one.
