I was actually expecting a picture of your penis with a star on top.

I'm kind of disappointed to tell the truth...

Snake,
It appears to me that you have another picture that you need to post. Count me as a third vote.

Fourth.

And it doesn't have to be a star, can be a santa hat!

Lucky 5 !!

WooHoo!

Hmm thinkin a lil whip cream wouldn't go amiss.

EXACTLY !!!!!!

No trees (especially real ones), before Christmas Eve.

Come onnnnnnnn people. Get real. Its not even freakin' December yet!!??

 

[JRaven]

Actually, just as Thanksgiving kicks off the Christmas shopping season, it also kicks off the decorating season.

We'll be putting up the tree on Sunday, maybe a few outside lights as well. We'll take it all down on the twelfth day of Christmas, Jan 6th.

They're americans. Thus, they wallow in kitsch.

I can go as far as a week before Christmas, but anything else is just silly.

...on the twelfth day of Christmas

Uh...guys. Christmas ends at the very least before the New Year.

Y'all can't be having them overlapping like that. Dontcha know that if you have two holidays occupying the same time, you create a rift of illogik in the temporal continuum? No wonder I'm always so bloody short of time. Your irresponsible holiday handling is causing it all to leak out therough the back door.

Last bank I worked at not only did they keep the tree up long enough for ME to have it up for my christmas Jan 7th, But after that we decorated it for Valntines day in pink and red, then we did green for st patricks day, pastels for easter, and then we did flags for 4th of July.

If it were up to me I'd never take the thing down

Then again its just plastic, if I had a real christmas tree (oak not that sticky pine) then I'd have to be more careful

Jan 6th on the new calander is the Epiphany . Many people refer to it as 'little Christmas'. Or for our swedish friends Trettondedag

Well honestly I can't answer that since my christmas is backdated from everyone else's so mine doesn't START until the 6th of january on christmas eve But Every day is something special, I just don't have the double conflict of new years and any of the 12 days of Xmas. Its kinda like the days leading up to lent. If it weren't for new orleans, the majority of America wouldn't have a clue

I wonder if King cake and Sliva go together.

Pretty common practice here to put up the tree over the weekend following Thanksgiving. Fake tree, of course.

I have ZERO holiday spirit this year. No oomph for shopping or decorating or baking. I would, however, LOVE to be organizing an AH holiday party. Shall we all do New Year's Eve on Baltimore's Inner Harbor? The fireworks are terrific.

I'm trying to be good

 

[BlackSnake]

Every since I was little we put up the tree and began decorating the day after Thanksgiving. It's a part of my childhood that I'll hold on too...

I'm trying to be good

SINCE WHEN?!?

 

[~photoguy~]

can't even buy a tree here yet .. maybe another week
(and I'm talking about the genuine article here - yaknow the ones that get cut in tree farms, wrapped up like green sticks with needles then piled on trucks and shipped all over, then stuffed in snow banks so that us hearty folk can wander aimlessly looking for the perfect one, paying way too much for it, then getting it home and un-thawing it, only to find that its completely bald on one side, or worse, and then the needles start shedding, so loudly that there is a constant sound coming from the tree as they fall to the ground, ingraining themselves into the carpet and covering any token presents that maybe there)
