Who decorates the tree?

I could not find a thread about this so i started this one.

Who decorates your tree and when?
My brother and I decorate the tree on Dec 24th in the morning.

Nice topic

Well, I do the decorating of the tree every year but of course with some help from my husband and kids. I usually do it in mid November. I have my kids hang the first ornaments together and always my husband to put the tree top. We listen to Christmas music and feel the magic of Christmas. Gosh, I feel very excited just thinking about it. One of my favorite days of the year.

That sounds so great : )
You have a fake tree or?
Those thoughts makes me excited too

A fake tree. I wouldn't be able to wait until mid December to have a real one. Plus I kinda feel bad to buy one even though I love the smell of the real thing.

I wish I could invite Olga and you to my town. I want to show you everything : D The place where you buy the trees, our shops .. just everything ; ) Tell me when you're thinking about a trip to Germany

How old are your kids? Do they still believe in Santa ? Have you posted a pic from your tree?

So many questions.

I would love to come for a visit and see all the cool stuff you said. I will definately let you know when that happens. As for my kids, my daughter is 11 years old and knows the truth about . My son is 5 years old and still believes.
I will definately post pictures of my tree and decorations this year. I'll see if I can post one from last year.

We decorate the trees together, apart from the tall bits as I am only little

We usually start middle of november with the landing tree then progress

to hallway tree the kitchen (hopefully a little tree in there this year...)

I think Germany is the only country who put up the tree one day before Christmas

We all decorate the tree together, mainly the children at first and they hand all the deocarations on the lower branches as we have a very tall tree.

The Elves come to help and move them higher up when the children are in bed - so when they come downstairs the next morning we have expereinced some christmas magic!

My parents told us, when we were little, that they are Santas ( we have 'Christkind' ) Helper. Once my Mum came out of the bedroom with a golden star on her forehead. She told me that an angel has kissed her.
