I'm never quite sure when's the proper time to put up the tree. I was in the middle of cleaning up  around my place when I opened my closet and there it was. My Christmas tree. Guess today's as good as any.

My tree is really small but also very cool. It's a retro model, fiber optic, tree.  I just plug it in and the lights change color from red, to blue, white, and green. I found it at a flea market. It's the best $20 I've spent on holiday stuff.

I've heard that Black Friday is a popular day to put one up. That seems too early to me. Having had live trees in my home when I was growing up, we always waited until a couple weeks out. Tring to maintain a live tree is difficult. You put one up too early and you've got needles all over the floor by Christmas. Not to mention the fire hazard of a dried out tree. So maybe that's why I've always waited until closer to the holiday. None the less, my tree's up and I'm done decorating. I didn't have much else to put up so I guess I'm ready.

Merry Christmas and O Christmas Tree to you!
