I decorate my "fake but looks real" tree at the beginning of December, and drive my husband crazy playing Christmas music all month every morning before we go to work!
As for presents, we've scaled down considerably through the years and buy stuff we need to wear, like shoes and heavy shirts (one gets a little chillier every year)!
The sons agreed money was best since they've told me "Mom, the sweaters that you send just suck". We usually pool money together to get the granddaughters a really nice gift!
