Haha growing up we never got our tree till the 14th, my sister's birthday, it became a tradition because the Christmas tree lot was right next to the hospital and my Dad knew which window was my Mom's room and we waved to her...I thought it was fun she told me later she hated being away from us...back in the dark ages they didn't let kids visit the maternity floor. But anyway I always feel a little funny getting a tree before the 14th.
