This weekend my in-laws brought me my Christmas tree!
I have officially upgraded from a 4.5 foot tree to a 7.5 foot tree, wahoo.
The tree was looking awfully lonely just sitting in the box, I couldn’t help myself.
So, I decided I would ONLY put it together.
Once is was up, my urge to put the lights on was too strong.
And then I needed to take an inventory of my decorations, so I thought I would put 50% of them on, logical right?
Before I knew it my tree was 75% decorated. Yes, I need help.
I did save the rest of the decorations to up as a family.
I made a cute little video of our festivities.
I got this idea from YHL, expect theirs is way cooler 🙂

I need to buy a couple more decorations to finish it off but it is almost there.
And even though I know it is super early, I can’t help but smile every time I look at it.
There is something so magical about a Christmas tree.
Are you fighting the urge to get your tree up?
Or am I the only crazy one?

Ah super cute video! I haven’t put up my tree yet but I’m really excited about this mini one I am doing in my kitchen (full of cooking things) and I’m half tempted to get that up this week.

Very cute! I love the music too – I am already thinking about a tree and buying a new one or real one but it is a TAD early! Not even Thanksgiving, so I think I’ll wait!! ;-0

Haha…I love it! I would definitely be doing the same thing, I love to get stuff done, except we are getting a real one again this year and in AZ that means I have to wait too long! Anyway…looks like fun!

We won’t be getting ours up til after Thanksgiving. But, ONLY because we have a tradition to go cut one down in the mountains with some of our best friends. Considering I am already listening to Christmas carols, I think this tradition is the only thing keeping me from enjoying mine right now!
Amelia @ House Pretty says
I’m fully in the crazy boat with you! I don’t have a tree yet, but I can’t wait to put my decorations up…just have to convince the husband first haha
Ingrid says
What a cute video! I would love to have mine up because I feel like the season is too short but we too have a tradition to go cut ours down with family friends right after Thanksgiving! I have busted out some Christmas CDs and my daughter begged me for eggnog!
Laura says
I’ve been wanting to put mine up all month! My husband said not until the day after Thanksgiving but I think he is about to give in! YAY! Christmas tree might be up sometime this week!
Kasandra says
I put two of ours up this weekend. The third is on it’s way soon!!!
Andrea @ Strawberry Chic says
We are actually deciding if we are even going to have a tree this year…I am leaving early to go visit family for x-mas and my husband doesn’t see the need to buy a tree for like 10 days. But, If I put ours up early like you…there will still be time to enjoy it!
Love your video and I’m curious to see all of your cute ornaments up close! (I need ideas 🙂
Michelle @ Michelle Lee Interiors says
