If my dad were still with us, he’d be so mad right now 😂

We’ve realized that the next month or so is so incredibly busy this is really the only time we have to get the tree put up, so we are having to break our family rule of waiting till after Thanksgiving dinner to start on Christmas decorations.

Does it help my case if I say we are waiting until after Thanksgiving to put the ornaments on? 😂
