Hi Laura. I'm new too. I used to decorate for every holiday, until Christmas took over October and November. I now have to start working on getting the house ready mid-October in order to have everything done by December 1st. I like to spend the entire month of December, all the way up to January 7 (Orthodox Christmas) enjoying all my Christmas treasures that are stored away for nine or so months. I look forward to everything that this site has to offer.
