When picking out your decorations for Christmas, do you do your homework?

Wow! I can't believe that I am honestly thinking about Christmas in July. Perhaps it is the cooler weather that I am longing for, or maybe I am just eager to take advantage of all of these Christmas in July sales.

When it comes to buying Christmas decorations, I wouldn't say that I necessarily do a lot of homework or research, but I do some planning. I like to create a different themed Christmas tree every year. There are so many people in my family with allergies that there is just no way that I can have a real Christmas tree, but I really like some of the different varieties of artificial trees.

I even did a purple Christmas tree one year, and I also like the white trees that are prelit. I will probably be buying a new artificial tree this year, and I think I am going with the Toy Story theme this year. I will be looking for decorations of Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and Jessie, along with the other popular Toy Story characters to put on my tree.

Even though Christmas is still several months away, I can't wait to get shopping!

I start thinking about Christmas about 3 mo. Ahead of time, every year I will go and buy more stuff, more ornaments, decorations, I have used to same tree for 2 yrs. I DO NOT like cleaning up pine needles off the floor every night.

Pain! But the real trees are nice, they smell pretty and give you that "christmasy" feel. I like to look thru magazines when it gets close to Christmas, they always start showing stuff a couple of months ahead of time.. I love Chrismas :).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
