Our halls have been "decked" since the weekend before Thanksgiving and I will admit that my favorite time of the day is as soon as it gets dark when I can turn on all of my lights :)

One of my favorite parts - my card basket. LOVE LOVE LOVE getting all the Christmas cards in the mail!

This year we decided to put the tree up in the "play room" instead of the family room. So far I like it (plus, Dave likes it because it doesn't cast a glare on the TV - typical. hahaha)

The lights are my favorite part of the decorations too. I have a pre-lit tree but I still put more lights on it.
