When I was a kid, my family was always the last on the block to put up our Christmas tree. The other families put theirs up between the day after Thanksgiving and the first week of December. Ours never went up before December 20th, and sometimes it was as late as Christmas Eve. This year I’ve broken the family tradition. I started preparing for the tree over a month ago. I put it up about three weeks ago, and I’ve been adding decorations ever since. I guess you just need the right incentives! (Maybe I need a bigger tree.) Happy election holiday! (And whatever that other holiday is, have a happy one of those too!)

A wonderful X’mas tree! Many things will change for the better next year. Don’t forget to vote on January 16, 2016. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I envy your collection – looking forward to gathering a few more myself on the IEOM election observation. I have a box of flags going back to the 1980’s. I have promised them to the Royal Ontario Museum – yes museums do take election garbage too! Merry Christmas

This is more like a Festivus “Airing of Grievances.” And as an amateur vexillologist, it inspires of few grievances in me as well!.

Our tree goes up the Sunday before Christmas – it’s the only day my daughter is home all day!
