Not much happened today, except that I put my tree up after I got home from church this afternoon. It's not decorated yet, but it's up. I'm not big on putting up a Christmas tree. I love them, I just hate putting them up and decorating them. So, this year I've done something different. I bought a 4.5 ft pre-lit tree. I am going to put decorations on it. Then, after Christmas I am going to find an old sheet and I'm going to wrap it up really good and take it out to our storage building behind our house. Then, next year, all I will have to do is unwrap it and it's already decorated. Is that lazy or what? LOL I prefer to say that I am saving valuable time during the holidays. The time I would normally be decorating, I can use to shop. :)
So, what are some crazy things you've done during the holidays to save time?
I have friends that do that exact same thing - just wrap up their tree and store it for next year. I can't do that because we always have a real tree - hubby hates artificial. And unfortunately, I'm one of those types of people that have to do everything "just so" so I never do anything that would save me time! I think I'm gonna have to get out of that habit! :o)

Good for you! I really want a pre-lit tree. We never put ours up before Christmas Eve though - and it comes down on New Year's Day. I don't have anywhere to store a tree unless it's in a box, though, so that wouldn't work for me!
