It’s that time of year again...for some of us and with 49 days until the big day, I thought it was time. I know, I know, it’s too early for some and I understand that. If that’s the case for you, I hope that you will join us here when your ready and feeling festive.
For me, I think about Christmas all year long. I enjoy the season so much, I start celebrating November 1st. Recently, I found out that in the Philippines they start celebrating September 1st. They are my kind of people. I was over joyed that I found that out. Also, with my daughter who is almost 3, it’s even more exciting for me. She loves to talk about Santa and more importantly candy canes. She is obsessed with them.
The other day, Mary and I took a little trip to Lowe’s to see their Christmas decorations. She was running around pointing at all the decorations and came upon a Christmas tree and said, “Daddy, take a picture of me”. Then struck a pose.

Don’t ask me who taught her this, but she did it on her own. She’s growing up way too quickly.
As for Christmas at The Stewart’s, we are in a bit of a holding pattern. We are in the midst of major reno’s. That’s an entire different story. That being said, at present we only have 2 trees up and about 50% of our decorations. The rest of the decorations and trees will go up in a few weeks...hopefully.
So on November 1st we put up the tree in the living room and the little tree up on the piano.

I’m looking forward to putting up the garland, wreathes and other decorations. I don’t have my tree up in my den, but with the new fireplace installed it should only be a couple days until it goes up and pictures will soon follow. We also have our outdoor lights on as well. As you can see in the picture below.

I would also like to add, that Star 102.5 Buffalo started playing Christmas music on Monday and SiriusXM has had 3 stations playing Christmas music since November 1st.
As with every year, I hope that you all add your pictures and comments to this thread. I look forward to starting this thread and I look forward to sharing the glorious Christmas season with all of you. I will also have more picture to come as we put more decorations up.
Again, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all.
