FT, awhile back you got the subject going regarding decorating at Christmas.

I wanted to ask if different folks could tell me if they've already started decorating or not.

If they have started decorating, how are they doing it?

I'll tell you why I'm asking this. for me, starting to celebrate early sort of "weakens" the feeling of the holiday.

The awe of Christmas is what makes Christmas for me. It's almost like a fairy-tale, too good to be true.

It may sound corny, but as Christmas draws closer, it's like a distant, sparkling star that just gets brighter and brighter.

I didn't feel this way when I was in the Family. But I do now and it's wonderful.

I only started this week putting up a couple of small things. A very nice star that I bought for the window, and a Christmas-tree decorated glass box for candles. (English fails me at the moment)

But how do you decorate and when?
