Christmas in our house

We usually start decorating for Christmas on December 1st but lately we have been starting at end of November.
We always have a Christmas tree, until about 3 years ago we bought real trees but now we have an artificial tree. The real trees would always die before Christmas or one year our cat knocked it down in the middle of the night so we had to tie it to the roof but with the artificial trees we don't have to do that.
On my dads side of the family we do a cousin draw to see who we give too, we do that with my family too. We also celebrate Christmas day with one side of the family so every other year we do it with my moms side and then the years in between we do it with my dads side.
I love Chirstmas!
